Ryan Gosling's Hilarious Reaction to 'I'm Just Ken' Winning 2024 Critics Choice Award Takes the Internet by Storm

At the 2024 Critics' Choice Awards, Ryan Gosling injected some deadpan humor into the evening as his Barbie movie anthem, "I'm Just Ken," clinched the title for Best Song. The 43-year-old actor's seemingly stunned expression at the announcement has become a viral sensation, captivating the online community.

 

Bella Ramsey and Anthony Ramos, the presenters of the evening, declared the power ballad as the winner, prompting Gosling to raise his eyebrows in apparent disbelief. In a playful gesture, he stood up and shook his head while applauding the song's writers, Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt, who took the stage to accept the accolade.

 

During their acceptance speech, Ronson, 48, gave a nod to Gosling, addressing him directly, "Ryan Gosling, this is as much your award as ours. You made the audience fall in love with this song with your matchless performance, so thank you."

 

Gosling, along with director Greta Gerwig and co-writer Noah Baumbach, as well as Barbie actress and co-producer Margot Robbie, received heartfelt thanks from Ronson. He acknowledged Gerwig's role in carving out 11 minutes for the prog-rock, power-ballad, dream-ballet, shred fest, expressing gratitude for allowing audiences to experience a unique emotional journey.

 

The Best Song category featured competition from two other tracks on the Barbie soundtrack: Dua Lipa's "Dance the Night" and Billie Eilish's "What Was I Made For?" Additionally, the category included nominees such as Jack Black's rendition of "Peaches" from The Super Mario Bros. Movie, Lenny Kravitz's "Road to Freedom" from Rustin, and Julia Michaels' "This Wish" from Disney's Wish.

 

Barbie, the movie featuring Ryan Gosling as Ken, celebrated a triumphant night, securing five additional awards, including Best Comedy, Best Original Screenplay, Best Production Design, Best Costume, and Best Hair and Makeup. The film earned an impressive total of 18 nominations at the ceremony held at The Barker Hanger in Los Angeles.

 

Margot Robbie, who also graced the awards show, flaunted a custom red off-the-shoulder Balmain gown, complemented by around 100 carats of Lorraine Schwartz diamonds. The 33-year-old Australian star received a nomination for Best Actress, adding to the movie's stellar presence at the prestigious event.
