‘Barbie’ and ‘Oppenheimer’, like the box office, are also dominating the awards season. Greta Gerwig’s ‘Barbie’ became a huge box-office success and a critically acclaimed drama. There were many watershed moments in the film talking about women and a satiric take on the positions of men and women in society.
Amongst all the moments, ‘Barbie’ marked everyone’s favorite Ken, Ryan Gosling’s singing debut. In a pivotal scene in the film, Ryan’s character breaks into singing about the plight of being a Ken. ‘I’m Just A Ken’ became a chart-topper and received a Grammy nomination. Recently, the song won the ‘Best Song’ award at the Critics Choice Awards, and Ryan Gosling’s reaction to the win is going viral.
