Ken

There's no Ken without Barbie, declared Ryan Gosling, expressing his dismay at the Oscar snubs of his Barbie co-star Margot Robbie and director Greta Gerwig. The exciting live-action version of the movie, which brought back the iconic doll to life and soon became a critical and commercial darling, surprisingly missed out on major categories at the upcoming Academy Awards. This has led to disappointment and discussions in the industry. Gosling, who played Ken and got a nomination for Best Supporting Actor, spoke up for…

Actor Ryan Gosling has become a master of the deadpan reaction, so much so that you can’t always tell when he’s joking. That’s a perfect skill set for 2024 movie schedule entry like The Fall Guy, but it’s also something that leads to meme-worthy moments like the latest the Canadian actor scored. Apparently, it all came down to a seemingly surprise awards win for Barbie, which inspired a Gosling reaction that the Internet is absolutely loving.Honestly, I can’t blame him, because the win in question was granted to “I’m…

Mark Ronson, Andrew Wyatt, and Ryan Gosling won the Best Song award during the Critics Choice Awards on Sunday. Instead of going up to accept the award, actor Gosling who played Ken and sang the song that won flashed a jovially perplexed look while his fellow award-winners took the stage. “Ryan Gosling, this is as much your award as ours,” Ronson said. “You made the audience fall in love with this song with your matchless performance, so thank you.” Ronson also thanked star and co-producer Margot Robbie,…

At one point, there were talks that Dan Levy, of Schitt’s Creek fame, would join the cast of Barbie as a Ken. However, sadly, we never got to see the David Rose actor in the Mojo Dojo Casa House, and we never got to hear him say “Ew, Ken!” And guess what? He’s sad about it too, and explained why.It’s not that Dan Levy didn’t want to be in the Mattel movie. In fact, he is a big fan of Greta Gerwig, and he wanted to be part of the billion-dollar blockbuster that is Barbie. However, he wasn’t able to simply because of…

Actor and co-creator of ‘Schitt`s Creek’ Dan Levy recalls turning down a role of one of the Kens in Greta Gerwig`s Barbie film, which ended up being a box office success and nominee and winner of several awards, due to a scheduling conflict. "Logistically could not make it work despite desperately trying to," Levy told People. "So, yeah, I guess I was technically unavailable to do that." The 40-year-old continued, "Does it haunt me when I sleep at night? Sometimes. It`s not like it isn`t like one of the…

It is 2024 and while misogynistic jokes are yet to end, blessed-with-brain-cells people no longer hide their disgust over such tasteless humor. I am, of course, talking about Barbie, Jo Koy, and the Golden Globes. But Koy, with his sorry-but-not-really-sorry apology, is not the only one regretting his decision regarding Barbie. Last year, months before Greta Gerwig’s epic creation was set to hit theaters, rumors flew that Schitt’s Creek star Dan Levy was on the list of potential Kens for the film. But the short list of…

Image: MattelIn the year that Greta Gerwig’s Barbie movie is a major awards contender—with a script the director co-wrote, starring and produced by Margot Robbie, and an incredible ensemble of female talent—women in film are still a majorly marginalized group. Mattel, no doubt inspired by Barbie’s success, has come out with a new set to pay tribute to the creatives that made the movie possible. With the Women in Film collection, Mattel’s annual Career of the Year dolls highlight positions in which women are still vastly…

I desperately need to see Ryan Gosling perform “I’m Just Ken” at the Oscars, and I think a lot of people are in the same hot pink boat as me. Luckily, it seems highly likely that the power ballad from the billion-dollar blockbuster Barbie as well as the Ken who sings it will get nominated. However, now the question is: Will the lead Ken of the Barbie cast actually perform it? Well, Gosling finally weighed in on the subject, and instead of giving a real answer, he raised some very valid questions. What Ryan Gosling Said…

Image: HasbroTen years ago, Hasbro announced something akin to a disturbance in the Force—and Star Wars toy fans’ wallets: The Black Series, a brand new line that would bump the iconic heroes and villains of the galaxy far, far away up to 6" scale for the first time (and away from the 3.75" scale Star Wars changed the game with).Since then, countless characters from movies, games, comics, streaming shows, and more have made their way onto our desks and shelves—classic heroes like Han, Luke, and Leia; all-new ones still…

Jeopardy! fans were stunned when Mayim Bialik, the Blossom star and co-host of the franchise, announced on Instagram she would be stepping down from hosting the syndicated version of the show earlier this month. In her post, she stated that Jeopardy! producers Sony Pictures Television had “informed” her she would be leaving the syndicated show, leading some fans to speculate she had not left of her own volition. A few weeks after her bombshell announcement, Jeopardy! co-host Ken Jennings, who has split co-hosting…
