The 2024 Academy Awards just got a whole lot more fabulous! Get ready to witness Ryan Gosling, yes, THE Ryan Gosling, grace the stage and serenade us with his rendition of the chart-topping sensation, “I’m Just Ken” from the Barbie universe!
In case you’ve been living under a rock (or perhaps just not as obsessed with Barbie as some of us), Ryan Gosling slid into the role of one of the Kens in a cinematic masterpiece. And let’s just say, he not only nailed the part but also belted out this earworm of a tune in the film.
Now, the burning question on everyone’s minds: will Ryan actually perform this gem live at the Oscars? Well, hold onto your wigs, because according to some very reliable sources (AKA the rumor mill), it’s a solid yes! Variety may or may not have confirmed it, but hey, who needs confirmation when you’ve got the power of wishful thinking, right?
And let’s not forget, both Ryan and his catchy ditty are up for awards this year. It’s like the stars have aligned, or maybe it’s just Ken’s perfectly coiffed hair bringing all this good fortune.
Remember that moment when Ryan was quizzed about gracing the stage with his musical prowess? Well, he responded with all the enigmatic charm of a Hollywood heartthrob, leaving us hanging onto every word. Classic Ryan.
Oh, and did we mention the viral explosion that occurred when this toe-tapper snagged a Critics Choice Award? It was like the internet collectively realized, “Hey, Ryan Gosling can sing! Who knew?”
So, mark your calendars, set your DVRs, and prepare for a night of glitz, glamour, and Gosling. The Oscars are coming in hot, hosted by none other than the incomparable Jimmy Kimmel. It’s going to be a night to remember. And who knows, maybe we’ll all leave the ceremony humming “I’m Just Ken” under our breaths.
