In mid-March, still in Oscar’s mood, the animator Preston Mutangaknown for creating the LEGO universe of “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse”, recreated an excerpt from Spider-Man’s iconic performance Ryan Gosling singing “I’m Just Ken” during the awards ceremony.
The video is 24 seconds long and portrays a part of the performance in which the actor sings the song’s chorus, appearing in pink and surrounded by men dressed in black like cowboys (Kens), making reference to the live-action “Barbie”. Check it out!
The presentation of Ryan Gosling was the most talked about song of the night, however, “I’m Just Ken” lost the “Best Original Song” category to another song from the “Barbie” soundtrack: “What Was I Made For?”, by Billie Eilish.
