Ryan Gosling Stuns at the Oscars

Ryan Gosling may not have taken home the Academy Award for best original song at the 2024 Oscars, but his performance of “I’m Just Ken” sure won my heart. From the moment Gosling stepped out in that glittering pink suit, I knew the memes were imminent—but I didn’t know just how obsessed the internet would become. With the help of plenty of the Barbie-movie Kens, producer Mark Ronson, and hard-rock guitarist Slash, the 43-year-old actor produced a Hollywood performance like we haven’t seen since Marilyn Monroe donned her pink dress and gloves for “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend” in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953)—and yes, I know that’s what Gosling & Co. were going for.

Internet Reactions

  • Variety co-editor-in-chief Ramin Setoodeh tweeted: “Ryan Gosling fully belting out ‘I’m Just Ken’ is one of the most incredible Oscar musical performances I’ve ever seen. People were screaming, cheering and gasping inside the Dolby.”
  • Nora Dominick wrote, “I hope the kenergy never leaves Ryan Gosling,” noting Margot Robbie’s laughter during the song’s opening.
  • Another user observed Robbie and Barbie director Greta Gerwig “JUMPED” from their seats during the performance.

Special Moments

One highlight of the night was the La La Land reunion between Gosling and former costar Emma Stone. Stone seemed to relish the opportunity to sing into Gosling’s mic during the performance.

While some fans are already proposing a Ryan Gosling Super Bowl Halftime Show after his stellar performance, let’s make it happen!
