Actor Ryan Gosling stole the show during the 2024 Oscars ceremony. Last Sunday night (10), celebrities and references from the world of cinema were in Los Angeles for the awards, which featured musical performances. One of them was Ryan’s performance in ‘I’m Just Ken’, a song from the movie ‘Barbie’.
‘Oppenheimer’ is the big winner of the 2024 Oscar with seven statuettes
Her performance was inspired by the iconic scene of Marilyn Monroe singing ‘Diamonds Are A Girl’s Best Friend’ from ‘Gentlemen Prefer Blond’. Ryan sang alongside the film’s cast on stage, and was joined by guitarist Slash. Voted by some as the best performance of the night, ‘I’m Just Ken’ was one of the nominations for Best Original Song, but lost to Billie Eilish’s film-mate ‘What Was I Made For’.
Among the possible elements of comparison are the costumes of Ryan and the dancers. Referring to the famous scene from the Marilyn movie. As he began his performance, Ryan appeared seated behind Margot Robbie, his scene partner, who received no nominations. Ryan was nominated for Best Supporting Actor. However, Robert Downey Jr took the statuette for ‘Openheimer’, which also won the most anticipated Oscar of the night: Best Picture.
