- Ryan Gosling gave a rousing performance of "I'm Just Ken" from "Barbie" at the Oscars.
- A-listers in the audience were having a blast.
Ryan Gosling definitely brought the Kenergy during a performance of "I'm Just Ken," a fan-favorite from the movie "Barbie," at the 2024 Oscars on Sunday.
And what a performance it was.
Gosling, wearing a sparkly hot-pink suit, had dozens of dancers, his costars, the song's co-writer Mark Ronson, Slash, and more onstage with him to give the song the full Oscars treatment.

A-listers in the audience were also very into Gosling's performance, judging by their dance moves.
Gosling even got director Greta Gerwig, "Barbie" costars Margot Robbie and America Ferrera, and "La La Land" costar Emma Stone to sing along.

Stone had so much fun during the performance that it apparently led to a wardrobe malfunction.
"My dress is broken," she said as she accepted the best actress Oscar for "Poor Things," adding: "I think it happened during 'I'm Just Ken.'"
"I'm Just Ken," written by Ronson and Andrew Wyatt, was up for an Oscar for best original song, but it lost to another song from the "Barbie" soundtrack: "What Was I Made For?" by Billie Eilish and Finneas O'Connell.
Gosling was nominated for best supporting actor for his role as Ken, but Robert Downey Jr. took the prize for his performance in "Oppenheimer."
