As we head into Academy Awards season, there is ONE question on the minds of all movie fans - will Ryan Gosling perform 'I'm Just Ken' at the ceremony?!
We joke, obviously, the respective categories and their eventual winners are more important, but the pageantry of the Oscars is important, too, which is why each year the songs nominated for Best Original Song are performed.
There is speculation that Gosling might perform his big number from Barbie, though there has been no confirmation yet.
Mark Ronson, who produced the Barbie soundtrack, is desperate to see Gosling as Ken again on the stage.
"That would be great," Ronson said of Gosling performing 'I'm Just Ken'
"Did he confirm it to you? I want to know... it's my dream! It's my dream."
Ronson confirmed that, if Gosling doesn't fancy the song and dance number, then no replacement would be found.
"No. I think if Ryan doesn't do it then we're not doing it."
Gosling himself has actually commented on the speculation, joking to W Magazine:
"Well, I haven't been invited. And I wasn't thinking about it until now, and now it's all I'm going to think about. Do you get paid to sing at the Oscars? Do you have to drive yourself? What kind of scratch is involved? They pick you up at least, right?"
