Ryan Gosling, the talented actor and musician, is set to perform the Academy Award-nominated song “I’m Just Ken” at this year’s Oscars. The news comes as a surprise to many, as Gosling had previously mentioned that the Academy Awards had not approached him to perform. However, it seems that the organizers have had a change of heart.
“I’m Just Ken” is a song from the hit movie “Barbie” and has been nominated for Best Original Song. Gosling expressed his willingness to perform the song earlier this month, stating, “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.” It seems that his openness has paid off, and he will now have the opportunity to showcase his musical talents on the prestigious Oscars stage.
The song was originally pitched to “Barbie” director Greta Gerwig by Mark Ronson. Both Gerwig and Gosling were immediate fans of the track, leading Gosling to request permission to perform it in the movie. Gerwig was so impressed by Gosling’s passion for the song that she even rewrote a scene to incorporate his performance. The song has since gained significant success, charting at No. 87 on Billboard’s Hot 100 list and winning Best Song at the Critics’ Choice Awards.
In addition to “I’m Just Ken,” another track from “Barbie” titled “What Was I Made For?” by Billie Eilish and Finneas has also been nominated for Best Original Song at the Oscars. It seems that the soundtrack of “Barbie” has struck a chord with both critics and audiences alike.
Ryan Gosling’s performance at the Oscars is highly anticipated, as he is known for his incredible talent and stage presence. Fans of both Gosling and the movie “Barbie” are excited to see him bring “I’m Just Ken” to life on the grand stage of the Academy Awards.
The Oscars will take place on March 10, and viewers can expect a night filled with memorable performances and well-deserved recognition for the best in the film industry. As the countdown to the big night begins, all eyes will be on Ryan Gosling as he takes the stage to perform “I’m Just Ken” and captivate the audience with his musical prowess.
