Oscars 2024, the live gala
Cinema Movies nominated for the 2024 Oscars: complete list of nominations
Ryan Gosling
, the biggest plane-stealer of the year for his humorous and self-parodying
Ken
, was on the verge of eclipsing
Billie Eilish
at the Oscars.
The young singer won the award for
best song in the duel between the two songs from the
Barbie
soundtrack
.
However,
Ryan Gosling
, who was nominated in the
best supporting actor
category and who lost to Robert Downey Jr (
Oppenheimer
), has offered a wonderful performance of his song
I'm Just Ken
.
Dressed in a dazzlingly pink suit, he began singing in a seat behind
Margot Robbie
, ended up on stage with dozens of dancers and showing great vocal power and quite a sense of humor, and surprised the audience with the stellar presence of the Guns N guitarist. 'Roses
Slash
, who did the song's intermission solo.
It was probably
the best moment of the gala
.
With its tongue-in-cheek tone and parody of '80s ultra-processed pop ballads,
I'm Just Ken
has become one of the film's iconic moments.
It sounds like a joke, but it's no joke: it is composed by Mark Ronson, producer of the soundtrack, and Andrew Wyatt, Oscar winner in 2018 with the main theme of
A Star is Born
, performed by Lady Gaga.
Billie Eilish
also shone, in a different way, in the first part of the ceremony: she did it by whispering more than singing
What Was I Made For?
with her brother Finneas on the piano and an orchestra: it is the inevitable arrangement for that intimate, very beautiful and quite memorable ballad.
She is the one who went down in history tonight (again).
At 22 years old,
Billie Eilish has become the youngest person
to have two Oscars.
Two years ago he already won the Oscar for best song for
No Time to Die
, his theme for Daniel Craig's last film as James Bond;
Tonight she got the second for
What Was I Made For
?, the song that has become a great phenomenon of the
Barbie
OST .
The last time someone under 30 won a second Oscar was
Hilary Swank
in 2005 when she won for
Million Dollar Baby.
Billie Eilish already broke several records by winning the big four Grammy Awards
with
her debut album,
When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?
She was awarded as the author of the best song, album, recording and for being the best new artist of 2019.
In the best example of how
Hollywood has ignored
Barbie
, the film was only a favorite in this best song category.
Even Greta Gerwig has lost in the best adapted screenplay category, which was won by newcomer Cord Jefferson for
American Fiction
.
What Was I Made For?
It couldn't have been more profitable for Billie Eilish and her brother, Finneas, who at 26 years old also has two Oscars as a co-author.
It has been the only song that Eilish has released in this year of
rest
and with it she has also won the
Golden Globe
for Best Song and the
Grammy
for Best Song of the Year, in addition to adding more than 700 million listens on Spotify and more than 115 million views on YouTube.
