The Blade Runner 2049 star then said that although Oppenheimer has won Best Picture in all the awards so far, "They call it Barbenheimer and not Oppenbarbie,” for a reason. 
He said, “I think you guys are at the tail end of that because you were riding Barbie's coattails all summer."
But The Devil Wears Prada actress gave the whole banter a stop by saying, "Thanks for Ken-splaining that to me., Mr. 'I need to paint my abs on to get nominated.' You don't see Robert Downey Jr. doing that."
