This Barbie loves Ken! Kristen Stewart appeared on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast recently, which was recorded one day after the 2024
Academy Awards, which she revealed that she watched from home. The Twilight
Actress added that Ryan Gosling’s standout “I’m Just Ken” performance particularly moved her. “I was, for some reason, crying and laughing while watching the Ken thing. It’s emotional, dude, watching Greta [Gerwig] watch it. When they did the one cutaway of her and she was just, like, front-row belting and looking at the thing she helped kickstart,” Stewart noted, adding that she’s a “super-duper fan” of the 2023 Barbie film.

In the popular film, the high-energy, multi-set scene finds the Notebook
Actor singing his heart out about his “blond fragility” alongside Simu Liu and a number other Kens. The ballad was one of five best original song nominees at this year’s
Oscars ceremony, along with the winning track — Billie Eilish and Finneas’ fellow Barbie hit “What Was I Made For?” — as well as Becky G‘s “The
fire Inside” from Flamin’ Hot , Jon Batiste‘s “It Never Went Away” from
American Symphony, and Scott George and the Osage Singers’ “Wahzhazhe (A Song for My People)” from Killers of the Flower
moon . All of the best original song candidates performed their respective tracks live during the ceremony.
