Say WHAT! Ryan Gosling To Perform I’m Just Ken At Oscars 2024

Confirmation Amidst Speculation
Addressing speculations sparked on social platforms about Gosling’s potential performance of I’m Just Ken, a reliable source close to the situation revealed to The Hollywood Reporter that Gosling is indeed slated to entertain audiences with the musical number.
I’m Just Ken made a splash on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, debuting at No. 87 shortly after the release of the Barbie film. Riding on this success, Gosling dropped an EP in December featuring three new versions of the song, including a festive “Merry Kristmas” rendition.
Mark Ronson, who co-wrote the song alongside Andrew Wyatt, expressed his excitement about the song potentially making its live debut at the Oscars. He shared that he and the Barbie team had hoped for Gosling to perform the song on the grand Oscar stage since the inception of the project. Ronson gleefully entertained the idea of other Kens joining Gosling onstage, emphasizing the team’s enthusiasm for such a scenario.
I’m Just Ken faces stiff competition in the Best Original Song category, going up against other notable hits like Billie Eilish’s What Was I Made For? and songs from films such as Flamin’ Hot, American Symphony, and Killers of the Flower Moon.
Apart from its Best Original Song nomination, Barbie is in the running for six other Oscars, including Best Picture and Adapted Screenplay. I’m Just Ken has already garnered significant acclaim, winning Best Song at the Critics Choice Awards and earning a Grammy nomination for Best Song for Visual Media.
