Fear not Barbie fans! Ryan Gosling will perform "I'm Just Ken" at the Academy Awards.
Variety broke the news that Gosling will sing the Academy Award-nominated song from Barbie during the 96th annual ceremony on March 10th after months of speculation. In early February, Gosling insisted that the Academy hadn’t yet asked him to perform. “It might be too much of a risk to have me do it,” said Gosling, who is up for an acting Oscar for his work as Ken. “I don’t know how that would work. But I’m open to it.”
Mark Ronson, who wrote the song with Andrew Wyatt, insisted that no one else would perform the song at the Oscars if Gosling decided against it.
”I’m Just Ken” is one of two Barbie tracks that earned an Oscar nomination for best original song. The other is “What Was I Made For?” by Billie Eilish and Finneas, which won the Grammy for best song written for visual media over “I’m Just Ken” and fellow Barbie hit “Dance the Night” by Dua Lipa.
