Ryan Gosling Oscars Performance
In an interview with W Magazine, Ryan Gosling confirmed whether or not he has been invited to perform at the 2024 Academy Awards.
Gosling has been predicted to snag a Best Supporting Actor nomination at the Academy Awards following his nomination at the Golden Globe Awards for "Barbie."
When asked by the publication about the idea of him performing at the awards ceremony, Gosling said: "Well, I haven't been invited but thanks for pointing that out."
Channeling his Ken-ergy, Gosling asked if the gig of performing for the Oscars offered monetary compensation, which Margot Robbie, who played Stereotypical Barbie in the film, vocally expressed that she doubted it pays.
"What do you get paid to sing at the Oscars?" Gosling funnily asked. "They pick you up at least, right? You don't have to self-drive?"
"You get a free ride," Robbie answered back. "Uber home, maybe?"
"I'm Just Ken" is written by Oscar-winning producer and musician Mark Ronson and produced by Mark Wyatt. Gosling's performance in the movie and singing of the said song has garnered public and critical acclaim, which makes it a strong contender for the Best Original Song category.
'Barbie: The Album' Grammy, Golden Globe, Oscar Nominations
As of this writing, "Barbie: The Album" has received awards circuit recognition. Four of its songs are nominated at the 2024 Grammy Awards. All four - "I'm Just Ken," "What Was I Made For?" by Billie Eilish, "Dance The Night" by Dua Lipa, and "Barbie World" by Nicki Minaj, Ice Spice, and Aqua" have allbeen nominated for Best Song Written for Visual Media.
Meanwhile, "Dance The Night," "I'm Just Ken," and "What Was I Made For" are nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song Category.
Billboard recently reported that the same three songs from "Barbie: The Album" have been shortlisted for the Academy Award for Best Orginal Song category, along with Olivia Rodrigo's "Can't Catch Me Now" from "The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes," and "The Color Purple's" "Keep It Movin'" among many others.
However, not all three can be nominated as the official Oscars rule says that only two entries from the same film are eligible.
