Paul Hogan has given his brutal view of why Margot Robbie was rejected in the Best Actress Oscar category.
Margot, 33, who was born and raised in Queensland, failed to make the cut at this year’s 96th Academy Awards, which will be held in Los Angeles on March 10.
The Crocodile Dundee star, 84, appeared on Sunrise on Friday in an interview conducted by her granddaughter, reporter Mylee Hogan.
“Seeing them not nominated is kind of… a boring tradition of: If it’s not about pain and suffering, it can’t be very good,” he said.
‘It’s not fair.’

Hogan then praised the Barbie star, saying, “She’s great, not only is she beautiful and smart, but she’s also a good girl.”
Robbie’s omission sparked a wave of backlash after many expected her starring role in Greta Gerwig’s Barbie, currently the highest-grossing film of all time, to be recognized by the Academy board.
Although many fans were upset that Robbie was not nominated for Best Actress, she did earn a Best Picture nomination as one of the film’s producers.

Gerwig, 40, who was passed over in the Best Director category, also earned an Oscar nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay alongside her husband Noah Baumbach, 54.
At a question-and-answer session hosted by the Academy Museum in February, Robbie said Greta “should” have been nominated for director.
“Obviously, I think Greta should be nominated as a director, because what she did is something unique in her career, something unique in her life, what she accomplished, it really is. But it’s been an incredible year for all films,” he said. .
“To see them not nominated is kind of… a boring tradition of: if it’s not about pain and suffering, it can’t be very good… it’s not fair,” Hogan said.

Robbie did not address her own Oscar snub, but emphasized that they were “beyond elated” that the film had earned eight Oscar nominations.
‘We set out to do something that would change the culture, affect the culture, just make some kind of impact. And it already has, and some like it much more than we ever dreamed. And that is truly the greatest reward that could come from all of this.
‘I’m so, so obviously ecstatic. For everyone to get the recognition they have is incredible and the Best Picture recognition.”
