<p>The 96th Academy Awards were all fun! Hosted by comedian Jimmy Kimmel, the three-hour-long ceremony was packed with fun moments, big wins, political speeches, and a lot more. But one unforgettable thing from the night that will surely go down in the history of the Academy is Ryan Gosling's energetic performance on the Oscar-nominated song ''I'm Just Ken'' from Greta Gerwig's movie <em>Barbie.</em>&nbsp;</p>

<p>The performance was one of the things&nbsp;everyone was looking forward to. And undoubtedly, Ryan scored all the marks, with most of&nbsp;the credit going to his quirky ''Kenergy''.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Dressed in a fuschia&nbsp;suit&nbsp;with matching gloves and black sunglasses, Gosling left everyone impressed in the Dolby theatre.</p>

<p>Backed by guitarist Mark Ronson and a large group of dancers, Ryan started his performance with the audience before going on the stage.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Under the purple light, Ryan, during his electrifying performance, stepped down and sang along with his&nbsp;<em>Barbie</em> team, including Greta Gerwig, Margot Robbie, and America Ferrera, who took part in the performance and sang along. He next took the microphone towards his <em>La La Land</em> co-star Emma Stone.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Ryan's performance from the night has left netizens impressed. As videos from the night started doing the rounds online, fans couldn't keep calm.&nbsp;</p>

Netizens declare Ryan Gosling's ‘I’m Just Ken’ performance 'greatest Oscars moment ever'

<p>After <em>Barbie</em> fever took over a large part of 2023 with fans and critics massively praising the Greta Gerwig film starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling in leading roles, the latter is now set to take over the biggest film award&nbsp;stage at the upcoming Oscars.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The 96th annual Oscars will see Ryan dancing to his pop favourite<em> Barbie </em>number “I’m Just Ken”. He will perform live at the ceremony which is scheduled to take place on March 10 at the Dolby Theatre.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Ryan Gosling to sing and dance to Barbie song at the Oscars?</strong></h2>

<p>Several media reports suggest Ryan will sing the song but there has been no official word on the same. The song is, meanwhile, nominated in the best song category at the Oscars.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Earlier in February, Ryan was asked whether he would sing the song at the Oscars to which he said at the time, “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.” Ryan Gosling is up for an acting award too for his role in <em>Barbie</em> as Ken.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As for if and when this materialises, Mark Ronson, who wrote the song told Variety that it was his dream for Ryan Gosling to perform at the Academy Awards.</p>

<p>“I’m Just Ken” is one of two <em>Barbie</em> tracks that earned an Oscar nomination for Best Original Song. The other is “What Was I Made For?” by Billie Eilish and Finneas, which won the Grammy for Best Song Written for Visual Media over “I’m Just Ken” and fellow <em>Barbie</em> hit “Dance the Night” by Dua Lipa.</p>

<p>The Academy Awards will air on ABC on March 10. Jimmy Kimmel will take over the hosting duties. Zendaya, Michelle Pfeiffer, Nicolas Cage, and Al Pacino have been announced as the <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-zendaya-michelle-yeoh-al-pacino-set-as-2024-oscars-presenters-694200">first set of presenters</a> for The Academy Awards. Joining them would be last year’s acting winners&nbsp;– Brendan Fraser from <em>The Whale</em> and Michelle Yeoh, Ke Huy Quan, and Jamie Lee Curtis from the best picture winner <em>Everything Everywhere All at Once.</em></p>

Oscars 2024: Ryan Gosling to perform ‘I’m Just Ken’ from hit film Barbie

<p>Atlantic Records has unveiled a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the hit rendition of "I'm Just Ken," performed by Ryan Gosling and his fellow cast members from the movie Barbie. This video offers an intimate look into the making of the song, showcasing Gosling's rehearsals, director Greta Gerwig's vision, executive producer Mark Ronson's creative input, and the collaboration. The song explores the emotional struggles of Ken, Barbie's less iconic partner, portrayed by Gosling in the film. Ken's feelings of being overshadowed in his relationship with Barbie form the core theme of the song.</p>

<p>You can see the video below.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>What is "I'm Just Ken" about?</strong></h2>

<p>Portrayed by Gosling in the movie, Ken grapples with the challenge of being perceived as "always number two" in his relationship with Barbie, played by Margot Robbie, and this is basically what the song is about. &nbsp;The song's heartfelt lyrics mirror Ken's struggle to find his place and identity beside Barbie's glamorous and charismatic presence.</p>

<h2><strong>Barbie, a journey of self-discovery</strong></h2>

<p>In the movie, Barbie embarks on a transformative journey into the real world, uncovering minor flaws in her seemingly perfect existence. Accompanied by her loyal companion Ken and their owner Sasha, Barbie navigates through societal pressures and beauty norms, igniting a profound shift in the social fabric of Barbieland.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Barbie review</strong></h2>

<p>WION's Shomini Sen wrote in her review of Barbie, "I would still say that the film very smartly shows how society is and humanises the iconic doll. For decades Barbie has been one of the most popular toys for young girls, setting unrealistic standards of beauty. Sure, Mattel has reinvented the doll and made every girl believe that they can be whatever they want to be - just like their favourite doll, but the narrative of everything being overtly perfect has also done damage to several. Greta, in that sense, spins the narrative and adds a layer of cynicism to Barbieland to show how things are in real. Flawed, depressed, and definitely not perfect- even though the plastic remains constant."<br />
