Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt hysterically roasted each other over Barbenheimer during 2024 Oscars

Okay, this was hilarious.

“Barbenheimer” was the biggest film event of 2023, and two of its central players had a blast ribbing each other over being in the rival films.

Emily Blunt, who played Kitty Oppenheimer in Oppenheimer, and Ryan Gosling, who played Ken in Barbie, both got a really fun moment in Sunday’s 96th Oscars ceremony while introducing a tribute to stunt workers.

The two roasted each other over their movies, as Oppenheimer has fared better at the awards but Barbie made more money and led the cultural conversation.

The two will be in this May’s The Fall Guy, and we’re already loving the chemistry these two have while joking with each other.

Ryan Gosling’s awards history at the Oscars

Has Ryan Gosling ever won an Academy Award?

Ryan Gosling has been one of the most consistent movie stars of his generation, as any project he joins has a good chance of being a quality hit.

The Blade Runner 2049 and La La Land star has starred in some of the most beloved films of the last 20 years, but he’s yet to take home an Academy Award despite being nominated a handful of times.

Gosling has been nominated for Best Actor twice, once for 2006’s Half Nelson and once for 2016’s La La Land.

He earned his third nomination in January in Best Supporting Actor for last summer’s blockbuster hit Barbie, where he played Ken. If he wins, it’d be his first Oscar victory in his career.

However, even if he walks away without an Academy Award, he’ll have plenty of love coming his way on Oscar night next month as he’s reportedly set to perform Barbie‘s nominated power ballad “I’m Just Ken” during the ceremony.

A total of 10 films have been nominated in Best Picture, including blockbusters like Barbie and Oppenheimer and critical darlings like Past Lives, The Holdovers and Anatomy of a Fall.

If you’re trying to catch up on this year’s Best Picture nominees or want to rewatch them as the Oscars get closer, we’ve got the rundown of where you can find all of these films at the moment.

While some of them are still only playing in theaters, others are available to rent and stream on various platforms right at home.

8 Oscar nominations takeaways: Why Oppenheimer is the movie to beat in 2024

Here are our takeaways from Tuesday’s announcement of the 96th Oscar nominations.

The 96th edition of Oscar nominations came forth on Tuesday morning, and there was, of course, plenty to glean from the latest class of Academy Award nominees.

While Christopher Nolan’s blockbuster epic Oppenheimer scored a whopping 13 nominations, Greta Gerwig’s titanic comedy Barbie earned the biggest snubs of the morning in Best Director and Best Actress for Margot Robbie.

Of course, both films did get in Best Picture, as did plenty of other deserving titles. We’ve got takeaways from the full list of nominees, including some thoughts on why Oppenheimer is the favorite, why Barbie might’ve stumbled a bit and why you should pay attention to Poor Things.

Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig’s Oscar snubs for Barbie ironically prove the movie right

How could they not be nominated for Oscars?!

Let’s start off with something important here: Yes, Ryan Gosling deserved an Oscar nomination for playing Ken in Barbie. He was fantastic all around, especially when his job goes beyond “beach” later in the movie.

But I’m going to go ahead and say it: Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig were robbed. If not for Robbie’s incredible job navigating through Barbie’s struggles as she learns about the real world, and Gerwig’s expert directing to bring laughs, tears and everything in between, that movie wouldn’t be as instant-classic as it is.

And as some fans are pointing out, it kind of proves the point of the movie, doesn’t it? As one post on X (formerly Twitter) said: “Ryan Gosling, while deserving, got an Oscar nomination for Barbie while Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie didn’t? Completely proving the point of the movie in 20 [expletive] 24 you cannot make this up.”

2024 Oscar nomination predictions, from Barbie to Oppenheimer

Let’s predict next week’s Academy Award nominations.

The 96th Academy Awards will unveil its latest slate of nominations next Tuesday morning, and we’ve got predictions for all categories (excluding the three shorts competitions).

Juggernauts like Oppenheimer, Barbie, Killers of the Flower Moon, The Holdovers and Poor Things are set to go up against one another in what’s sure to be one of the better rosters of nominations in recent memory.

While there are always surprises and snubs galore, we’ve taken a look at all the precursor nominations and also tried to go with our gut by predicting how these categories might look next Tuesday.

We’re not sure how right we’ll be, but we feel pretty good about most of these predictions.

Ryan Gosling’s stunned reaction to I’m Just Ken winning a Critics Choice Award became an instant meme

Wake up, a new Ryan Gosling meme just dropped.

He’s just stunned.

Ryan Gosling was in attendance at the 2024 Critics Choice Awards on Sunday, and watched I’m Just Ken — the epic song he performed in Barbie — won for best song.

And his reaction? It made for the most perfect GIF and meme, and I’m pretty sure we’re going to see this one on social media for a while, especially in the middle of awards season.

He just kind of stared, unblinkingly, as if he couldn’t believe it happened, or as many people thought, the realization that maybe he’d have to perform it at the 2024 Oscars.

Here are the memes:

 

 

Issa Rae met two young ‘Barbie’ fans on the Golden Globes red carpet and their reaction is amazing

This deserves five stars. The wholesome content meter is off the charts.

Barbie actor Issa Rae meeting two young fans on the Golden Globes carpet might be the best thing you’ll see all day. It’s just so incredibly wholesome.

I’m about to admit something I have told very few people. I was a Barbie collector growing up. And not just any Barbies, but really cool ones like the Spice Girls and the Barbie Princess Doll Special Millennium Edition.
(I was deep in the TRENCHES, OK?)

So, when the Barbie movie premiered, I was beside myself. As you can imagine, my inner child was so happy to see many different versions of Barbie on the screen. That’s probably the same thing two precious children felt when they ran into Barbie cast member and Hollywood star Issa Rae.

Recess Therapy, a prominent YouTube channel dedicated to asking kids and celebrities to talk about important topics, like peeing your pants and the beauty of corn, was on-site Sunday at the Golden Globes when host Julian Shapiro-Barnum and two of his pals stopped to chat with Rae.

What happens next is magical.

5 Oscar takeaways from the 2024 Golden Globes, including Oppenheimer’s huge night

Oppenheimer had a heck of a night at the Golden Globes.

The 2024 Golden Globes have come and gone, with Christopher Nolan’s stellar epic Oppenheimer and Yorgos Lanthimos’ mind-bending dramedy Poor Things taking home the night’s top prizes for movies.

While comedian Jo Koy got poor notices for his opening monologue (including one from Taylor Swift), this year’s Globes ceremony did help us understand the pulse in the industry for this year’s Academy Awards just a bit better than we did before.

The night’s wins helped confirm some of our gut feelings and gave us a few other things to consider for the annual Oscar ceremony.

Let’s go through five big takeaways from the Globes, including which movie might deserve more attention than it’s been getting and which movie should be considered the Best Picture front-runner right now.
