In a noteworthy announcement, Ryan Gosling is confirmed to grace the Oscars stage with his performance of ‘I’m Just Ken.’ The actor, nominated for Best Supporting Actor for his role in the blockbuster ‘Barbie,’ is set to deliver the iconic number at the Academy Awards ceremony in Los Angeles on March 10.
Speculation had been rife about Gosling’s potential performance, especially after the song received a nomination, while lead actress Margot Robbie and director Greta Gerwig were notably absent from the nominees list.
Addressing the rumors earlier this month, Gosling revealed his openness to the opportunity, stating that he had not been approached by the Academy yet. He remarked, “It might be too much of a risk to have me do it. I don’t know how that would work. But I’m open to it.”
The film, ‘Barbie,’ has received a nomination for Best Picture, with Ryan Gosling and America Ferrara recognized for their supporting roles. Gosling had previously expressed disappointment on behalf of his colleagues who did not make it to the nomination list. In a statement, he said, “I am extremely honored to be nominated by my colleagues alongside such remarkable artists in a year of so many great films. And I never thought I’d be saying this, but I’m also incredibly honored and proud that it’s for portraying a plastic doll named Ken. But 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.”
