Ryan Gosling will officially be in Oscar contention for Barbie​

Ryan Gosling is officially in contention for a 'Best Supporting Actor' Oscar nomination for his work in Greta Gerwig's Barbie movie.

According to Variety, the La La Land actor will be submitted for consideration by Warner Bros. after winning over fans and critics as Barbie's boyfriend Ken.

Gosling has previously been nominated twice for an Academy Award, for his roles in Half Nelson (2006) and La La Land (2016).

Warner Bros. is aiming for multiple nominations for Barbie, hoping to get recognition in categories including 'Best Original Screenplay', 'Best Picture' and 'Best Actress' for leading star Margot Robbie.

The film is also eligible to submit three songs for consideration, with current favourites being Billie Ellish's 'What Was I Made For' and 'I'm Just Ken' (written by Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt).

Nominations will be decided from January 11, 2024 when ballots open for voting. However, with the film's huge universal critical and commercial acclaim, it's likely to receive multiple nominations.

Fans may also get an official answer to the long-running 'Barbenheimer' debate, with Gerwig's Barbie likely to face fierce competition from the Christopher Nolan biopic.

Following its release in July, the film has taken over $1.36 billion globally, and is currently on track to highest-grossing movie of 2023. Barbie is also the biggest movie made by by a solo female director, beating 2017's Wonder Woman to the top spot.

The film is now available to buy or rentdigitally from online retailers such as Amazon UK, Microsoft Store and Apple TV+ in the UK and Amazon US, iTunes and more in the US.
 
It would be hilarious if they lost every nomination except Gosling's.

Not that I don't believe the fix is in, the Oscars have always been rigged.

Helped by the mass-media which pushed this film for some unknown reason...

ohh, now it makes sense.

There is no debate. The film that was left out to die by the media even coming close to beating the film which had 24/7 coverage, wall to wall fake articles and consooomer products labelled with barbie shit, has won.
 
Just saw the movie yesterday. The scene of Ken going up the escalator learning about the real world was hilarious. Gosling was the best part of the movie and you can tell he had a lot of fun with it.


 
Nobody should take the Academy Awards seriously. Rocky won out over Taxi Driver, Dances With Wolves over Goodfellas, the example are endless. But giving any recognition whatsover a cinematic abomination that is a spinoff of a vulgar doll for girls should remove all doubt. Sadly that will not be the case.

Yea, there are so many questionable wins and nominations that I just don't take them serious. It's nice that folks like Brendan Fraser and Ke Huy Quan get their just due, but with the quotas they're supposed to be rolling out, I don't care too much about who wins anything.

I wouldn't be surprised if Barbie was nominated in acting roles since the Writer's Strike is happening, and honestly, not much good has come out.
