At one point, the Barbie star made his way back into the audience and held the microphone up to his Barbie cast and crew, including Greta, Margot, and America Ferrera, who were all singing along with him. Ryan also got his La La Land co-star Emma Stone to sing along with him. I’m Just Ken was one of two songs from Barbie that earned a nomination for best original song. Billie Eilish’s What Was I Made For? was the other, ultimately winning the Oscar for the category.
