The interpreter of Ken in the film “Barbie” performed on the Oscar stage the hit “I’m just Ken” for which he was nominated in the Best Original Song category.
It was one of the most anticipated moments of the 96th Academy Awards this Sunday. Ryan Gosling put on a show on stage at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles performing the hit “I’m Just Ken” from the film barbie. Like the other nominees in the Best Original Song category, the actor was invited to cover this song which has become iconic thanks to social networks.
And unsurprisingly, the actor who had already proven his singing and dancing talents in La La Land stole the show from the other celebrities, summoning all his “Ken energy” for his performance, and made a very strong impression on the viewers who followed the Oscars live: “It’s one of the best performances we have could see at the Oscars” we can read on X, just like the comment: “Ryan Gosling has more live presence and charisma than any pop star.”
It’s ultimately Billie Eillish and Finneas O’Connor, also nominated for Barbie, who won the Oscar for Best Original Song for “What was I made for”. But Ryan Gosling’s performance will certainly be remembered. Below, relive Ryan Gosling’s supercharged performance in video.
Since the release of barbie on July 19, 2023, “I’m Just Ken” became a hit, just like Ryan Gosling who was finally recognized for his comedic talents, eight years later The Nice Guys. In Greta Gerwig’s film, Ryan Gosling plays Barbie’s foil doll who suffers from not being the object of Barbie’s full attention and ends up discovering (and imposing) the patriarchy. For his hilarious performance, Ryan Gosling was also nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, but he had to lose to Robert Downey Jr who won the statuette for his performance in Oppenheimer.
