Ryan Gosling's stunned reaction to I'm Just Ken winning a Critics Choice Award became an instant meme
He’s just stunned.
Ryan Gosling was in attendance at the 2024 Critics Choice Awards on Sunday, and watched I’m Just Ken — the epic song he performed in Barbie — won for best song.
And his reaction? It made for the most perfect GIF and meme, and I’m pretty sure we’re going to see this one on social media for a while, especially in the middle of awards season.
He just kind of stared, unblinkingly, as if he couldn’t believe it happened, or as many people thought, the realization that maybe he’d have to perform it at the 2024 Oscars.
Here are the memes:
