It might have cost her a zipper, but not even Emma Stone could resist Ryan Gosling’s charm during his electrifying performance. “I was so amazed by Ryan and what he was doing and that number just blew my mind and I was right there and I was going for it and things happened,” she recounted at the post-show press conference (via The Hollywood Reporter). Stone wasn’t the only one excited as the performance sent social media fans into a meltdown.
“This was THE Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling moment I have waited for all awards season,” one person wrote on X(formerly known as Twitter). “RYAN GOSLING JUST GAVE THE MIC TO EMMA STONE FOR A BRIEF MOMENT THIS IS MY LA LA LAND FLASHBACKS HAPPENING AGAIN OH NO,” another user tweeted. “Ryan Gosling performing ‘I’m Just Ken’ at the Oscars was worth it just for this moment with Emma Stone,” a third fan quipped.
If you recall, the two actors teamed up in 2016, playing lead characters Mia and Sebastian in “La La Land,” the musical romance film that would give Stone her first Oscar win. Often ranked as one of the best musicals of all time, “La La Land” remains beloved by movie lovers, thanks in part to the incredible chemistry between Mia and Sebastian. Little wonder fans were excited to see their favorite on-screen couple!
