Ryan Gosling performance Oscars

Ryan Gosling wows at Oscars with "I'm Just Ken" performance from "Barbie" movie, but loses to Billie Eilish and Finneas.

During the Oscars ceremony on Sunday, Ryan Gosling delighted the audience by performing "I'm Just Ken" from the movie "Barbie." Dressed in a striking dark pink suit, Gosling captivated viewers as he sang from the audience before taking the spotlight on stage.

In the film, Gosling portrays Ken opposite Margot Robbie's "Barbie," a role that earned him a supporting nomination. The song "I'm Just Ken" was also nominated for best original song, although it ultimately lost to another track from the Barbie soundtrack, "What Was I Made For?" by Billie Eilish and Finneas.

The Hollywood blockbuster featuring Gosling's performance grossed over $1.4 billion in ticket sales, solidifying its status as the year's biggest hit. Despite not being asked to perform at the awards show initially, Gosling expressed his willingness to take the stage if given the opportunity.

"I'm Just Ken" is one of two songs from the "Barbie" soundtrack that received an Oscar nomination for best original song. The other track, "What Was I Made For?" by Billie Eilish and Finneas, took home the Grammy for best song written for visual media, beating out "I'm Just Ken."

In collaboration with Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt, Gosling released the "I'm Just Ken" EP in December. The performance at the Oscars showcased Gosling's versatility as an actor and singer, leaving audiences in awe of his talent.

Overall, Gosling's rendition of "I'm Just Ken" at the Oscars was a memorable moment that highlighted his artistry and charisma on stage. The combination of his performance, the film's success, and the recognition of the soundtrack's songs further solidified Gosling's place in the entertainment industry.
