Ronson, along with his co-writer and co-producer Andrew Wyatt, won the best song award for 'I'm Just Ken' at the event. As they went up to accept the award, the camera captured Gosling's deadpan reaction to the song, which he performed in the movie 'Barbie,' sparking a wave of internet memes.
Ronson, known for his collaborations with artists like Amy Winehouse, Bruno Mars, and Lady Gaga, executive produced the Barbie soundtrack. The success of the song led to increased streams and viral attention, with Ronson attributing the buzz to Gosling's humorous response.
The Grammy-winning artist is now gearing up for the Oscars, where 'I'm Just Ken' is nominated for Best Original Song. Ronson expressed his surprise at the song's unexpected popularity, especially considering it was initially conceived as a simple credit track.
Ronson's collaboration with writer-director Greta Gerwig on the Barbie soundtrack proved fruitful, with the song taking on a significant role in the film. Gosling's impromptu decision to sing the ballad added a poignant touch to his character, much to Ronson's amazement.
During his acceptance speech at the Critics Choice Awards, Ronson made sure to acknowledge Gosling and Gerwig for their contributions to the success of 'I'm Just Ken.' He praised Gosling for his captivating performance that resonated with audiences and thanked Gerwig for her vision in incorporating the song into the film.
