Ryan Gosling, clad in a vibrant hot pink suit and black cowboy hat, delivered a dazzling performance of “I’m Just Ken” at the 2024 Oscars, bringing a splash of color and energy to the prestigious event. Directly serenading his “Barbie” co-star Margot Robbie from the audience, Gosling’s performance quickly captivated the crowd, including Robbie herself who was seen laughing and enjoying the moment.
Joining Gosling on stage were Mark Ronson and a posse of Kens, including Scott Evans, Simu Liu, Kingsley Ben-Adir, and Ncuti Gatwa, all donned in matching suits and cowboy hats. The performance, punctuated by large cartoon Barbie heads and a grand finale featuring rock legends Slash and Wolfgang Van Halen, was a spectacle of high Ken-ergy and musical prowess.
The Oscar-nominated song “I’m Just Ken,” crafted by Ronson and Andrew Wyatt, is one of two nominations for the film “Barbie” in the Best Original Song category, competing alongside another “Barbie” track performed by Billie Eilish and Finneas, “What Was I Made For?”
As Gosling made his way back to the audience, the entire Dolby Theatre joined in, singing along to the iconic tune, underscoring the song’s popularity and the film’s cultural impact. The night was a testament to Gosling’s versatility as an actor and a performer, memorable for both attendees and viewers at home.
