Name: Ryan Gosling.
Age: 43.
Appearance: The delight of awards season.
Did Gosling receive many awards this year? No, he did not receive any.
Unfortunately, that doesn’t sound very pleasant. However, he has received numerous nominations for his portrayal of Ken in Barbie, leading to his attendance at various award shows.
Fortunately for him, he has the opportunity to publicly experience defeat for three months of the year. However, this is not a negative thing. A ceremony with Gosling present is much more enjoyable than one without him.
What makes him stand out? Well, unlike most other actors in Hollywood, Gosling serves as a special link between the awards show and the audience watching from home.
Is it accurate? Affirmative. Did you witness the Critics’ Choice awards on Sunday evening?
No, definitely not. What occurred? I am Just Ken, the track that Gosling performs at the end of the Barbie movie, won the award for best song. And, while the rest of the team stood up to congratulate the songwriter Mark Ronson with kisses, Gosling reacted similarly to the rest of us.
Uncertainty? Indeed. He sat, furrowing his brow and scanning his surroundings, as if anticipating someone to reveal that it was all a joke. And thus, the meme that people will always share when they are confused by something you said was created.
However, this is just one example. It does not automatically make him the standout of awards season. He also attended the Golden Globes, where the host, Jo Koy, delivered a poorly received performance compared to other recent hosts. At one point during his act, when he made a joke about Barbie’s “boobies”, the camera captured Gosling giving Koy a disapproving stare.
Doesn’t this sound like Gosling is the highlight of awards season?
No, it sounds as if Gosling has figured out that the best way to survive awards season is to maintain an aura of detached yet amused inscrutability, because then the internet gets to project whatever inflated feeling it wants on to him and he goes viral every time. No, it’s definitely the delight thing.
Can you confirm? Definitely! Observe how he handled the Barbie press tour, with an unchanging façade of complete ironic dedication. He coined the phrase “Kenergy” and requested support for investigating its meaning. Cillian Murphy did not take a similar approach when promoting Oppenheimer.
Okay, he is a pleasure. He is simply Ken.
Please say: “Ryan Gosling shines during awards season.”
Avoid saying: “It’s unfortunate that he will not win the Oscar compared to Robert Downey Jr.”
