Fans have been eagerly anticipating Ryan Gosling's potential performance as Ken at this year's Oscars. However, Gosling recently cast doubt on whether he will actually be asked to take the stage as the beloved character. In an interview with Variety, Gosling revealed that he had not yet been approached by the Academy. He expressed uncertainty about how it would work and suggested that it might be too risky for him to perform. His co-star Margot Robbie reassured fans by stating that they have been encouraging Gosling to do it. Despite this, Gosling remained hesitant and questioned what the act would entail and if it could be scaled down.

Gosling's remarks caused distress among fans who have been eagerly waiting for him to bring Ken's signature track to life at the Oscars. The song, "I'm Just Ken," won Best Original Song at the Critics Choice Awards and has generated a lot of interest on social media. Fans believe that seeing Gosling embody Ken on stage is essential.

Many also see Ken's Oscars act as a cathartic moment for the character, who has been overshadowed by Barbie for years. Robbie expressed that seeing Ken's song highlighted would make her and the world happy.

While the future of "I'm Just Ken" at the Oscars is uncertain, there are still reasons to hope. With the film's success and cultural impact, the Academy has a strong incentive to ensure Barbie makes a memorable appearance at the ceremony. Gosling has also expressed openness to performing, pending resolution of budget and vision issues. Furthermore, the support from Robbie and the public may put pressure on producers to make it happen.

Ultimately, Gosling holds the power to decide Ken's Oscars fate. Fans continue to plea for their dream Ken performance, and it would be hard for Gosling to resist if he realizes how much it would mean to his worldwide fans.
