      Ryan Gosling gives ‘greatest performance in Oscars history’ in show-stopping I’m Just Ken number with A-list cameos

      by

      BARBIE fans have shared their love for Ryan Gosling’s star-studded performance at the Academy Awards. The film directed by Greta Gerwig was nominated for eight Oscars – including Best Original Song and Best Picture – but was most swept away by rival Oppenheimer. Ryan Gosling performed the Barbie hit I’m Just KenCredit: AFPBarbie has been nominated for eight Academy AwardsCredit: AFPMargot Robbie and Greta Gerwig also joined in to singCredit: ABCBut on Sunday night, Ryan, 43, had the entire crowd on their feet while singing one of the movie’s most popular songs I’m Just Ken. At the beginning of his performance, he stunned in a pink suit while sitting in his seat while his co-star Margot Robbie was spotted laughing in front of him. As he sang his worldwide hit, Ryan was joined on stage by several backup dancers in suits and cowboy hats – and his fellow Kens: Simu Liu, Ncuti Gatwa, Kingsley Ben-Adir, and Scott Evans. Ryan was also joined by guitar legend, Slash. The La La Land actor had help singing the song from Greta, Margot, America Ferrera, and even former co-star Emma Stone. ‘THE GREATEST MOMENT’On X, formerly Twitter, fans were left completely stunned by Ryan’s performance. One fan wrote, written in all caps, “Behold, the greatest moment in Oscar history!! Bravo, Ryan and I’m Just Ken.” “Ryan Gosling that performance was kind of everything to me,” exclaimed a second. Most read in CelebrityA third tweeted, “I hope the kenergy never leaves ryan gosling.” “Emma Stone singing I’m Just Ken Thank you Ryan Gosling,” a fourth typed in all caps. Best of Oscars 2024 A fifth viewer said, “Ryan Gosling ATE that performance.” “I love that Greta Gerwig, Margot Robbie, and America Ferrera freaked out over Ryan Gosling’s Oscars performance as if they were at a One Direction concert,” someone else exclaimed. THEIR NOMINATIONSBarbie was nominated for eight awards: Best Picture, Actor In a Leading Role (Ryan), Actress In a Supporting Role (America), Best Costume Design, Best Production Design, Best Original Song (Billie Eilish’s What Was I Made For), and Best Adapted Screenplay. After finding out that he was nominated, Ryan released a statement regarding Margot and Greta not being nominated. He said, “There is no Ken without Barbie, and there is no Barbie movie without Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie, the two people most responsible for this history-making, globally celebrated film. “No recognition would be possible for anyone on the film without their talent, grit, and genius. To say that I’m disappointed that they are not nominated in their respective categories would be an understatement.”Against all odds with nothing but a couple of soulless, scantily clad, and thankfully crotchless dolls, they made us laugh, they broke our hearts, they pushed the culture, and they made history. Their work should be recognized along with the other very deserving nominees,” he concluded.FAN BACKLASHMargot and Greta’s snub also disappointed fans around the world as they shared their brutal thoughts on social media. “Nominating Im Just Ken for best song but snubbing Greta and Margot from Oscar noms is just laughable I can’t lol,” one said.

      ‘I’m turning off the TV!’ Oscars fans rage as Jimmy Kimmel makes ’embarrassing’ joke about Robert Downey Jr in opening

      by

      JIMMY Kimmel has opened the 2024 Oscars with a crass joke about Robert Downey Jr.’s past drug use that was panned by fans.Late Night star Jimmy, 50, doled out a lengthy monologue for his fourth time serving as host of the Academy Awards.Jimmy Kimmel said: ‘This is the highest point of Robert’s long illustrious career- Well, one of the highest points’Credit: ABCThe camera cut to Robert Downey Jr., who awkwardly pointed to his noseCredit: ABCAs Kimmel kept roasting his past drug use, the actor looked less than won overCredit: ABCThe comic took center stage to open Hollywood’s biggest night on Sunday.He began: “Thank you for that partial standing ovation and welcome to the 96th Oscars. Everybody, look at these beautiful human actors!”Kimmel applauded Hollywood for its “memorable” films despite the dual Hollywood strikes, minus “Madame Webb.”The host then aimed his comic scope at the year’s biggest films- mentioning Barbie and Greta Gerwig’s Best Director snub.He also mentioned Margot Robbie’s snub before cracking the “unnecessary” joke.Kimmel pivoted to Oppenheimer and its Best Supporting Actor nominee, Robert Downey Jr.He said: “This is the highest point of Robert’s long illustrious career- well, one of the highest,” motioning to his own nose.Downey Jr. then pointed to his nose, seeming to be a good sport, and the audience nervously laughed.Most read in Celebrity“Was that too on the nose or a drug motion you made?” Kimmel asked him. He added: “But look at him, he’s so handsome, so talented, he’s won every award there is to win. Is that an acceptance speech in your pocket, or do you have a very rectangular pe*is?”At that point, Robert Downey Jr. stared at the host, looking stoic and disappointed as there were crickets.Oppenheimer costar, Emily Blunt, seated behind him, appeared to console him by rubbing his back.Kimmel added, “What a story, not even 20 years ago things weren’t going that great. He played the villain in a movie where Tim Allen turns into a dog, right? “And if you ever decide to remake that film, I have just the guy to play Tim Allen: Messi [the dog from Anatomy of a Fall].Downey Jr. looked uncomfortable and signaled for the host to keep it movingCredit: Getty’SECOND HAND EMBARRASSMENT’Fans were not dazzled by Kimmel’s joke about Robert Downey Jr. given his drug troubles are decades in the rearview.”Muted the Kimmel monologue after that RDJ ‘joke’. Oscars are off to a great start,” one fan wrote on X.“Full body second-hand embarrassment at how flat Jimmy Kimmel’s jokes about Robert Downey jr landed,” wrote another.“Robert Downey Jr. almost pulled a Will Smith on Jimmy Kimmel,” joked a third.”2024 and Jimmy Kimmel bringing Robert Downey jr addiction during his opening monologue and trying to make a joke about it. So unnecessary… WTF,” wrote a fourth.A fifth wrote: “Anyone else watching Jimmy Kimmel try?!?! This is horrifying to watch.”And a sixth: “Can Jimmy Kimmel just go away, please #Oscars.”However, other fans enjoyed the otherwise play-it-safe opening: “This is probably Jimmy Kimmel’s best-ever opening monologue.”ADDICTION IN THE REARVIEWWhile Downey took the jabs well throughout Kimmel’s monologue, his history with addiction began in 1996. He was arrested several times before going through treatment programs. He has been sober since 2003, crediting wife Susan Downey for his success.Jimmy previously fronted the ceremony in 2017, 2018 and 2023. Kimmel will sit alongside other four-time hosts such as Whoopi Goldberg and Jack Lemmon. Johnny Carson, Billy Crystal, and Bob Hope are the only three hosts who have more Oscar-hosting nights under their belts.PROTEST MESSMeanwhile, as Kimmel also mentioned in his monologue, the show was forced to start five minutes late.Over 1,000 Pro-Palestine protesters marched to the Dolby Theatre, where the Oscars took place at 7 pm ET.Police have since issued a dispersal order for the protest.“A Dispersal Order was issued in the area of Sunset Boulevard and Cherokee Avenue for Unlawful Assembly,” the Los Angeles Police Department said on X, formerly Twitter.Nominees such as Cillian Murphy eventually trickled into the theater after the Los Angeles Police Department issued a dispersal alert when the protesters descended on the area.Crowds were chanting “Free free Palestine” while waving Palestinian flags and holding up signs.Many posters showed a movie slate painted in black, white, green and red, the colors of the Palestinian flag, with a message addressed to the Oscar audience: “While you’re watching, bombs are dropping,” according to The LA Times.As protestors block the street, traffic near the high-profile event became an issue.Singer Ariana Grande posted to her Stories on Instagram that she was stuck in traffic wearing a bright pink tool dress and massive pink gem necklace- but eventually made it.LIGHTS, CAMERA, OPPENHEIMERHollywood’s biggest night hits the small screen on ABC on Sunday, March 10, 2024, at a sprightly 7 p.m. ET.This is an hour earlier than usual, or two, considering the daylight savings time change. As usual, the 96th annual Oscars will be held at the Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood, Los Angeles, California.The Oscars will see the year’s most critically acclaimed movies, actors, directors, and everyone behind them duke it out.Oppenheimer (13 nods), Poor Things (10), Killers of The Flower Moon (10), and Barbie (8) lead the tally.Fans will feel the Kenergy as Ryan Gosling will perform “I’m Just Ken” from Barbie with Mark Ronson.Billie Eilish and Finneas O’Connell will also perform “What Was I Made For?” from Barbie.Presenters include Mahershala Ali, Bad Bunny, Emily Blunt, Nicolas Cage, Jamie Lee Curtis, Zendaya, Ariana Grande, and Al Pacino. Awards-wise, it looks like the Barbenehimer summer craze has fizzled out, and it will be a statuesque night for the Robert Oppenheimer biopic.Almost everyone has predicted that Christopher Nolan’s three-hour atomic bomb opus will likely win Best Picture and Best Director (Nolan’s first).And Da’Vine Joy Randolph has claimed almost every gong for Best Supporting Actress for Alexander Payne’s (potentially plagiarized) The Holdovers.READ MORE SUN STORIESOther categories look less sure-fire, like Best Actress, with Anatomy of A Fall’s Sandra Hüller squaring up against Poor Things’ Emma Stone and Lily Gladstone of Scorcese’s Killers of The Flower Moon.In perhaps the most undecided of the big categories, if Lily wins, she’ll make history as the first-ever native Oscar winner.Fans reacted: ‘Robert Downey Jr. almost pulled a Will Smith on Jimmy Kimmel’Credit: EPAThis marked Kimmel’s fourth time hosting and the lengthy monologue ended in a standing ovationCredit: Getty More
