Ryan Gosling stole the spotlight at the 2024 Oscars with a mesmerizing performance of his Barbie movie hit, “I’m Just Ken,” alongside his Ken costars. The performance, which showcased Gosling’s versatility and charisma, captivated audiences and earned praise for its creativity and spectacle.
Dressed in a striking hot pink suit, matching gloves, and sunglasses, Gosling set the stage on fire with his rendition of the emotional ballad. As he crooned lines like “‘Cause I’m just Ken, anywhere else I’d be a 10,” the Dolby Theatre was filled with a mix of amusement and admiration from fellow attendees, including Margot Robbie and Billie Eilish.
Transitioning seamlessly from the audience to the stage, Gosling joined his fellow Kens, including Simu Liu and Kingsley Ben-Adir, for an extravagant dance number inspired by the classic film “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.” The performance was a visual feast, complete with props like pink chopping blocks and giant Barbie cutouts, adding to the whimsical charm of the act.
One of the standout moments of the performance was when Gosling was carried through the air like a hero, adding an element of grandeur to the already spectacular show. The choreography was flawless, and the energy exuded by the ensemble cast was infectious, leaving the audience spellbound.
“I’m Just Ken” is not only a crowd-pleaser but also a contender for the prestigious Oscar for Best Achievement in Music Written for Motion Pictures (Original Song). Competing against formidable opponents, including Billie Eilish’s “What Was I Made For?” from the same movie, the track has garnered widespread acclaim for its catchy melody and poignant lyrics.
Should “I’m Just Ken” emerge victorious, it would mark a significant achievement for songwriters Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt, who previously won the Oscar for Best Original Song in 2019 for their work on “Shallow” from “A Star is Born.” The success of “I’m Just Ken” has been nothing short of remarkable, with the track even earning Gosling his first-ever spot on the Hot 100 charts, a testament to its widespread popularity.
For Gosling, the recognition received by “I’m Just Ken” has been a pleasant surprise, showcasing his talents beyond acting and solidifying his status as a multifaceted artist. His electrifying performance at the Oscars served as a reminder of his immense talent and undeniable charm, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of audiences worldwide.
In a night filled with memorable moments, Ryan Gosling’s reunion with Barbie’s Kens undoubtedly stood out as one of the highlights, cementing his status as a Hollywood icon and reaffirming the enduring appeal of the beloved Barbie franchise.
