On Sunday night, Ryan, 43, had the entire crowd on their feet while singing I’m Just Ken.
At the beginning of his performance, he stunned in a pink suit while sitting in his seat while Margot Robbie was spotted laughing in front of him.
As he sang his worldwide hit, he was joined on stage by several backup dancers in suits and cowboy hats – including his fellow Kens: Simu Liu, Ncuti Gatwa, Kingsley Ben-Adir, and Scott Evans.
Meanwhile, Ryan was also joined by guitar legend, Slash.
The La La Land actor also had help singing the song from Greta, Margot, America Ferrera, and even Emma Stone.
‘THE GREATEST MOMENT’
On X, formerly Twitter, fans were left completely stunned by Ryan’s performance.
One fan wrote, written in all caps, “Behold, the greatest moment in Oscar history!! Bravo, Ryan and I’m Just Ken.”
“Ryan Gosling that performance was kind of everything to me,” exclaimed a second.
A third tweeted, “I hope the kenergy never leaves ryan gosling.”
“Emma Stone singing I’m Just Ken Thank you Ryan Gosling,” a fourth typed in all caps.
A fifth viewer said, “Ryan Gosling ATE that performance.”
“I love that Greta Gerwig, Margot Robbie, and America Ferrera freaked out over Ryan Gosling’s Oscars performance as if they were at a One Direction concert,” someone else exclaimed.
THEIR NOMINATIONS
Barbie was nominated for eight awards: Best Picture, Actor In a Leading Role (Ryan), Actress In a Supporting Role (America), Best Costume Design, Best Production Design, Best Original Song (Billie Eilish’s What Was I Made For), and Best Adapted Screenplay.
After finding out that he was nominated, Ryan released a statement regarding Margot and Greta not being nominated.
He said, “There is no Ken without Barbie, and there is no Barbie movie without Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie, the two people most responsible for this history-making, globally celebrated film.
“No recognition would be possible for anyone on the film without their talent, grit, and genius. To say that I’m disappointed that they are not nominated in their respective categories would be an understatement.
“Against all odds with nothing but a couple of soulless, scantily clad, and thankfully crotchless dolls, they made us laugh, they broke our hearts, they pushed the culture, and they made history. Their work should be recognized along with the other very deserving nominees,” he concluded.
