Ryan Gosling had several roles on Sunday at the 2024 Oscars and one of those included performer.

The Canadian actor took the stage to sing "I'm Just Ken" from Barbie during the 96th Academy Awards and he put on quite the show.

People have been sharing their thoughts online and it sounds like it was more than "Kenough."

Gosling started singing the tune from his seat in a bright, sparkling pink suit and gloves before handing his cowboy hat to his sister and walking onto the stage.

That's where Gosling was joined by over two dozen Kens in suits and cowboy hats who danced alongside the Canadian actor.

Fellow Barbie actor, Simu Liu, was among those Kens.

Gosling eventually made his way back to the audience and got his co-stars Margot Robbie and America Ferrera as well as the film's director Greta Gerwig to help him sing along.

Gosling was also joined on stage by Slash, the guitarist from Guns N Roses.

People on X have been sharing their reactions to the performance and it looks like Gosling is getting rave reviews.

One person called it "corny, fun and fabulous."

Another person called it "unbelievable" and called Ryan the "absolute best."

Another person tweeted they felt the "Kenergy."

"I'm Just Ken" was nominated for Best Original Song, but it lost to Billie Eilish and Finneas O'Connell's song "What Was I Made For?" which was also part of the Barbie soundtrack.

Gosling was also nominated for Best Actor in a Supporting Role on Sunday for his role as Ken in Barbie, but the award ended up going to Robert Downey Jr. for his role in Oppenheimer.

The Canadian star also had a cute moment on stage with Emily Blunt regarding the Barbie-Oppenheimer face-off that happened during the summer of 2023 when both films were released on the same day.
