Clad in a striking pink suit, Ryan Gosling starred in one of the most applauded moments of Oscar night. To the surprise of his partner Margot Robbie, who couldn’t stop smiling, the actor started singing I’m just Ken, one of the main songs from the movie Barbie, from his seat. Seconds later, he went on stage, where he began a performance in which he asked the audience for help to sing with him.
The night began with American comedian Jimmy Kimmel recalling that “Barbie was a monster at the box office and is now an icon of feminism, when before she was a plastic doll that no one cared about.”
Therefore, in a joking tone, the presenter was surprised that Hollywood forgot its director Greta Gerwig, when it came to the nominations, and Robbie herself, in the best actress section. A decision that sparked a controversy that still continues today. “The same people who didn’t vote for them are applauding, don’t pretend they’re not guilty,” Kimmel said and then played down the issue by praising the cast.
