Ryan Gosling absolutely kills I'm Just Ken performance at Oscars

Ryan Gosling didn't hold back as he gave an unforgettable performance at the Oscars.

No one really expected the best musical moment to come from an actor rather than a singer but Ryan Gosling came to bring it.

The Oscars had already proved to be memorable with massive wins for multiple categories.

But one of the most anticipated moment delivered tenfold as Ryan Gosling performed his Barbie hit 'I'm Just Ken'.

Gosling performed with many of the Kens from the film itself and garnered a standing ovation from the crowd after the electrifying performance.

The song proved so popular that it had even been nominated for a Best Music (Original Song) Oscar, but lost out to Billie Eilish's 'What Was I Made For' from the same film.

Fans took to social media to praise Gosling and the performers for the song, helping bring back some of that Barbie magic.

“BEHOLD, THE GREATEST MOMENT IN OSCAR HISTORY!! BRAVO, RYAN GOSLING & “I’M JUST KEN!” one user wrote.

"I DO love 'What Was I Made For' and admire the hell out of Billie Eilish. And I love any Barbie win. But damn I wanted 'I’m Just Ken' to win," wrote another fan who wanted the song to win.

"I don’t even like that song, but the 'I’m Just Ken' performance was everything!" a third wrote.

"I didn’t have Ryan Gosling singing 'I’m Just Ken' as the highlight of the Oscars on my bingo card," another added.

Despite not winning at the Oscars, the song was a winner at the Critics Choice Award earlier this year.

Many were left laughing their socks off after seeing Gosling’s reaction to the award winning.

Unfortunately, it wasn't Gosling who took to the stage to accept the award, though we doubt he would have even found the right words anyway considering his reaction.

Instead, it was writers Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt who accepted the honor.

But the pair very much paid tribute to Ken himself in their acceptance speech.

"Ryan Gosling, this is as much your award as ours," Ronson said. "You made the audience fall in love with this song with your matchless performance, so thank you."

The writer then went on to thank director Greta Gerwig and her co-writer, husband Noah Baumbach.

"The fact that you carved out 11 minutes for this prog-rock, power-ballad, dream-ballet, shred fest so the boys could cry and hold hands a little too, we're really forever in your debt for that," Ronson said of Gerwig.
