Margot, 33, is expected to fly to London for Sunday’s Baftas, where she will be up for Best Actress.
Last month, The Sun also revealed that Barbie power duo Margot and Greta Gerwig’s Oscars snub was due to jealousy and top female stars refusing to back them, according to a Hollywood insider connected to the franchise.
Lead Margot and director Greta, 40, were said to have been left reeling after they were passed over for nominations.
The pair were expected to be in contention after the summer box-office smash became a darling of critics and grossed $1.4 billion.
Adding insult to injury, Margot’s male co-star Ryan Gosling got a Best Supporting Actor nod for his role as Ken among a total of eight nominations for the film, including Best Picture.
An insider laid out for The U.S. Sun how and why the politics of campaigning the coveted golden statuettes played against both women this Oscars season.
“You have to deal with the simple fact that when a movie makes a billion-plus dollars, people get jealous, even if those people themselves are rich, famous and good-looking movie stars,” the source said.
“Margot and Greta had a good number of high-profile supporters, including Gal Gadot and Anne Hathaway, but the absentees are glaring especially when you think about the sheer number of big names they’ve both worked with over the years.
“There wasn’t as deep a bench in support as there may have seemed when the movie was selling so many tickets over the summer.
“I think what you saw this year were a lot of past Oscar-winning actresses just ignore Barbie completely.

“Margot and Greta are paying a price here with their suddenly dominant status in the industry.
“That can put a target on the back of your head, especially if important people feel left out.”
