Watch Ryan Gosling, Mark Ronson, Slash and Wolfgang Van Halen Perform “I’m Just Ken” at the Academy Awards
Can you feel the Kenergy?
Ryan Gosling rocked the Oscars Sunday night (March 10) performing the song, “I’m Just Ken,” with special guests Slash, Wolfgang Van Halen and Mark Ronson.
“I’m Just Ken” was one of two songs from “Barbie” that earned a nomination for best original song. Billie Eilish’s “What Was I Made For?” won the Oscar, setting a record for the youngest Academy Award winner at Age 22 to win twice in the same category.
Gosling started the song seated behind a laughing Margo Robbie, shimmering in purple lighting and wearing a sparkling pink suit and pink gloves.
Gosling was joined by other “Kens” from the Barbie movie, Simu Liu, Scott Evans, Ncuti Gatwa and Kingsley Ben-Adir. At one point, Gosling made his way back into the audience and held the microphone up to his “Barbie” collaborators Greta Gerwig, Robbie and America Ferrera and Emma Stone to sing along.
Gosling was up for Best Supporting Actor for “Barbie,” but lost to Robert Downey Jr. for “Oppenheimer.”
