At the Oscars, Ryan Gosling provided the most dazzling highlight of the evening with his performance of the “Barbie” hit “I’m Just Ken.”
At this year’s 96th Academy Awards, Hollywood star Ryan Gosling (43) was nominated for an Oscar for the third time in his career, this time in the “Best Supporting Actor” category for his portrayal of the plastic doll Ken in last year’s mega hit “Barbie “. However, the fact that he came away empty-handed in the end will have bothered him less this year than before. The Canadian actor had previously expressed his outrage that his “Barbie” colleague Margot Robbie (33) and director Greta Gerwig (40) had not received any nominations for their performances.
Excitement about “I’m Just Ken” performance
It was a long time in the making that Gosling would perform the song “I’m Just Ken” from the “Barbie” soundtrack, which was nominated for “Best Original Song”, on stage at the Oscars as planned. The general enthusiasm was all the greater when he actually appeared on stage on yesterday’s Oscar evening in a bright pink outfit and sang the song together with star producer Mark Ronson (48), Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash (58). and a total of 65 dancing “Ken” actors.
Without Eva Mendes on the red carpet
Before his brilliant performance, the actor walked the red carpet with his sister Mandi Gosling (47), his mother Donna Gosling and his stepfather Valerio Attanasio. His long-time partner Eva Mendes (38) supported him from backstage. She later posted a snapshot from Gosling’s wardrobe, posing in front of his iconic “Ken” outfit. She wrote: “You brought Ken all the way to the Oscars, RG. Now come home, we need to put the kids to bed.” The couple has two daughters together.
Gosling and Mendes rarely give the public a glimpse into their private lives. After the two met while filming the film “The Place Beyond The Pines” in 2011, they were only seen together once on the red carpet. Even when he was nominated for an Oscar for Best Actor for the film “La La Land” in 2017, his sister Mandi stepped in as the official date for the glamor evening.
