Ryan Gosling may not have won the Oscar, but he did become the real winner of the night with his performance of I'm Just Ken, the song nominated for Best Original Song from his film Barbie. The actor managed to seduce not only the audience present, but also the spectators and users on social networks, who attended what many consider one of the best performances at an Oscars gala of all time.
One of the details that made him become the biggest attraction was his complicity with the public, and that is that Gosling immediately transformed into the famous doll and, as could not be less, tried once again to seduce his Barbie, who Margot Robbie plays in the film.
Gosling, bathed in purple lighting and dressed in a bright pink suit and pink gloves, appeared out of nowhere in the audience and sat behind Margot Robbie, who couldn't contain her laughter upon hearing the first chords of the song.
Gosling and Robbie showed their complicity and showed the complicity they have with their partner, who did not stop playing for a moment and appeared on stage with his co-stars and the rest of "Kens" in the film -Simu Liu, Scott Evans , Ncuti Gatwa and Kingsley Ben-Adir-, as well as the famous guitarist Slash and Mark Ronson, composer of the song who joined the show.
The actor managed to conquer everyone, even more so when he got off the stage and starred in another of the moments of the night. Gosling approached with his microphone to the front row, where Greta Gerwig, director of the film; and his co-stars, America Ferrera and Margot Robbie, to whom he held out the microphone so they could sing the famous song.
But he also saw fit to approach another person, Emma Stone - awarded Best Actress that same night -, who worked with Gosling in the Oscar-winning La La Land and who proved to know the subject by heart. Excited, she sang a line from her song with her partner.
A great performance that everyone has described as "unforgettable", after weeks of rumors about whether Gosling would go on stage to sing the famous song, since in 2017 he did not do the same with the main theme of La La Land, with John Legend performing the single instead. What's more, Gosling did not confirm his participation in the show until a few days before the gala.
Before I'm Just Ken became an officially Oscar-nominated song, Gosling himself was shy about singing live during the awards show, but he finally took the step forward and arguably triumphed for all high on a night in which Gerwig's comedy earned eight nominations, including Best Picture.
