Ryan Gosling may not have won an Oscar at the 96th annual Academy Awards, but his show-stealing rendition of the Barbie anthem, “I'm Just Ken” won the night. Gosling, wearing a sparkling pink suit and pink gloves, started his performance from his seat in the Kodak Theater before making his way to the stage where he brought the house down with his Kenergetic peformance.

Gosling was joined onstage by 65 other “Kens” including his Barbie costars Simu Liu, Kingsley Ben-Adir, Scott Evans and Ncuti Gatwa, as well as legendary Guns N’ Roses guitarist, Slash and musician and song co-writer, Mark Ronson.

Ultimately, the song lost the Oscar to Billie Eilish’s Barbie ballad, “What Was I Made For”. Still, seeing Gosling pay homage to Marilyn Monroe and Gentlemen Prefer Blondes while he was laughing and singing at the Oscars gave the evening one of it’s most memorable moments.

He brought in celebrities, danced with friends, and even took the cameraman’s hand and led him onto the stage. He absolutely crushed it!
