Ontario's own Ryan Gosling completely stole the show at Sunday night's 96th Academy Awards, when he took the stage alongside an army of Kens to perform his Oscar-nominated track I'm Just Ken from the summer blockbuster movie, Barbie. 

In true Ken fashion, Gosling began his melodramatic performance in a sparkling pink suit and cowboy hat, as fellow co-star Margot Robbie, Barbie director Greta Gerwig, and singer Billie Eilish tried to contain their giggles.

Described as a sentimental 80s-style power ballad, Gosling electrified the stage along with his fellow movie Kens, including Mississauga's Simu Liu, Kingsley Ben-Adir, Ncuti Gatwa, and Scott Evans. 

After kissing the cameraman's hand and punching through a pink board with a pink glove, Gosling was joined on stage by Slash of Guns N' Roses, whose surprise appearance set the audience shooting out of their seats. 

Although the performance received a roaring standing ovation, the Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt-written track wasn't Kenough to beat out its other Barbie contender for Best Original Song. 

Ultimately, Billie Eilish and Finneas O'Connell took home the coveted award for the tear-jerking song, What Was I Made For? off the Barbie soundtrack.
