Despite the months-long speculation that Gosling would sing at the 96th annual award ceremony, the actor said in early February that the Academy hadn’t yet asked him to perform. “It might be too much of a risk to have me do it,” he said. “I don’t know how that would work. But I’m open to it.” (The Academy declined to comment on the report.)

“I’m Just Ken” is one of two Barbie songs that received an Oscar nod for Best Original Song. The other, “What Was I Made For?” by Billie Eilish and Finneas, won the Grammy for Best Song Written for Visual Media, defeating Ken’s lament and another of the movie’s hits, “Dance the Night” by Dua Lipa.

In addition to “Ken” and “What Was I Made For?,” the other competition for the Oscars gold includes “The Fire Inside” (from Flamin’ Hot), “It Never Went Away” (American Symphony) and “Wahzhazhe (A Song for My People)” (Killers of the Flower Moon).
