Andrew Wyatt: Celebs Rumors

Gene Maddaus Senior Media Writer A judge has denied Bill Cosby’s motion for a new trial in the case of Judy Huth, who accused him of sexually assaulting her at the Playboy Mansion when she was 16 years old. In a ruling issued Tuesday evening, Judge Craig D. Karlan rejected Cosby’s arguments that the trial had been unfair and that Huth had not proved her case. Cosby’s spokesman said that he will appeal. A jury found Cosby liable in June for assaulting Huth and ordered him to pay $500,000 to compensate for her psychological harm. Huth testified that Cosby brought her and a friend to the Playboy Mansion in 1975, a few days after meeting them at a public park. She told the jury that Cosby got her alone in a bedroom, tried to put his hand down her pants, and then pulled down his sweatpants and forced her to masturbate him.

Marc Malkin Senior Editor, Culture and Events For weeks after the Oscar nominations were announced, “Barbie” star Ryan Gosling publicly maintained he wasn’t sure if he’d perform “I’m Just Ken” during the 96th Academy Awards. However, “Barbie” co-star and producer Margot Robbie says he never hesitated to agree to the performance. In fact, she says she didn’t have to pressure him “at all.” “He jumped at this,” Robbie told me at the Chanel and Charles Finch party Saturday night at the Beverly Hills Hotel.

The Oscar nominees luncheon is always full of good vibes, a definite highlight of the season especially since those in the room have all made it this far — all Oscar nominated and getting to mingle not just with other nominees but also the large number of Academy voters on hand. Considering we are less than two weeks away from final voting beginning, it is also a chance for some to push AMPAS members to check out their films.

Warner Bros. Motion Picture Group is making sure the producer of the studio’s highest grossing movie of all-time, Barbie, isn’t going anywhere.

Billie Eilish is Oscar-nominated for her Barbie song, but she couldn’t have done it without Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig!

Billie Eilish’s ‘What Was I Made For?’ and Ryan Gosling’s ‘I’m Just Ken’ are among the tracks nominated for Best Original Song at this year’s Oscars.The two compositions for the film Barbie are among the five nominees in the category, which were announced earlier today (January 23).The other songs to get a nod were ‘Wahzhazhe (A Song For My People)’ from Killers of the Flower Moon, with music and lyrics by Scott George, ‘It Never Went Away’ by Jon Batiste and Dan Wilson, from American Symphony, and ‘The Fire Inside’ by Diane Warren, from Flamin’ Hot.It is the second Oscar nomination for Eilish, who previously won in this category in 2022 for writing and performing the title track of the James Bond film No Time to Die. She wrote ‘What Was I Made For?’ with her brother Finneas O’Connell, and it has also been nominated for Record of the Year and Song of the Year at the Grammys.Were she to win, Eilish would join an elite group of composers to have won multiple Academy Awards for Best Original Song, a list that includes Elton John, Randy Newman, Burt Bacharach, Tim Rice and Giorgio Moroder.‘I’m Just Ken’ was written by Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt, the latter of whom is the frontman of Swedish electro-pop band Miike Snow.

Jon Burlingame Two songs from “Barbie” have been nominated as best song, part of a diverse collection of songs and scores nominated for the 96th annual Academy Awards. “What Was I Made For?” by Billie Eilish and Finneas O’Connell, and “I’m Just Ken,” by Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt, were chosen by the 390 voting members of the Academy music branch.

Diego Ramos Bechara editor Hi, Barbie! Great news: Greta Gerwig‘s film based on the iconic Mattel doll leads the 14th annual Guild of Music Supervisors Awards nominations with three nods – including best song for both Billie Eilish’s “What Was I Made For?” and Ryan Gosling’s “I’m Just Ken.” “Barbie’s” third nomination was in best music supervision for a film budgeted over $25 million.

a Critics Choice Award.When presenters Bella Ramsey and Anthony Ramos announced that writers Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt took home the trophy for best song — for the anthem that Gosling belted out in the summer blockbuster sensation – Gosling seemed like he didn’t expect the song to win. His reaction then became a viral meme, in part perpetuated by his longtime partner.

Ryan Gosling’s bemused reaction to ‘I’m Just Ken’ winning ‘Best Original Song’ at last night’s (January 15) Critics Choice Award has gone viral – check out some of the reaction below.The song, which appeared in last year’s summer blockbuster hit Barbie and is sung by Gosling, won ahead of entries from the likes of Dua Lipa and Billie Eilish.Songwriters Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt paid tribute to Gosling as they accepted the award.Ronson said: “Ryan Gosling, this is just as much your award as ours: You made the audience fall in love with this song with your…performance.“…If there is anything about writing a song, there is no just Ken it’s Barbie and Ken, so Margot [Robbie], thank you, and you put this whole thing together.”On hearing the song had won, Gosling’s deadpan, bemused reaction led to a host of memes being shared on social media.

While the Oscar original song shortlist is typically good about spreading the wealth around, three movies dominated close to half the spaces with Barbie cleared to be nominated for three songs, The Color Purple two and Apple Original Film’s Flora and Son two. Of the 15 spots, Warner Bros owns five of ’em between Barbie and Color Purple.

Clayton Davis Senior Awards Editor The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has announced the shortlists in 10 categories for the upcoming 96th Oscars ceremony. Overall, Greta Gerwig’s meta-comedy “Barbie” had the most mentions with five including sound, original song for its three submissions from Billie Eilish (“What I Was Made For?”), Dua Lipa (“Dance the Night”) and Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt (“I’m Just Ken”), and original score, from the latter duo. The big miss for “Barbie” was in makeup and hairstyling, which was the category that yielded the most surprises.

-mania was dying down, the star of Greta Gerwig's film proved us all wrong. That's right, Ryan Gosling and Mark Ronson (the producer who, along with Andrew Wyatt, wrote “I'm Just Ken” for Barbie) have released a festive remix of “I'm Just Ken.” Merry Christmas.And there's more—the pair also released an official music video, complete with a minute-long preamble set in a Mojo Dojo Casa House recording studio bedecked in festive decorations. (or is he in character as Ken… we simply cannot tell) frets about whether “I'm Just Ken (Merry Kristmas Barbie)” will feel fresh.

Ryan Gosling is getting ready for awards season. The actor has released a record made in collaboration with Mark Ronson, responsible for the “Barbie” soundtrack, featuring three new songs, including “I’m Just Ken.” The record is also Christmas themed, and was dropped right in time for the holidays. Meet Ryan Gosling’s spooky band ‘Dead Man’s Bones’Golden Globes 2024: Pedro Pascal and Selena Gomez are among the nomineesThe record was released alongside a music video, which shows Gosling performing alongside Ronson and Andrew Wyatt, the other music supervisor for “Barbie”.

Margot Robbie’s Barbie exposed all of his “blond fragility” on the big screen in the summer blockbuster that brought the iconic Mattel doll to life, it’s “the man behind the tan” — as memorably Kenoughed by Ryan Gosling — who is having the last laugh in 2023.“I’m Just Ken (Merry Kristmas Barbie)” — a new holiday rendition of his signature number in Greta Gerwig’s box-office smash — dropped from the hunky heavens on Wednesday.The Yuletide twist arrives just five days before Santa will be delivering Barbies and Kens to little girls and boys all around the (snow) globe.The “Kristmas” makeover of “I’m Just Ken” puts a sweeping, Phil Spector-esque spin on the song that was written by “Barbie” music supervisors Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt. And the string-laden setting decks the ditty in seasonal splendor as Gosling ever-so-earnestly sings lines such as “Am I not hot when I’m in my feelings?”Clearly still hopelessly devoted to his dream doll — who leaves him behind for the real world at the end of the film — Gosling ends with, “Merry Kristmas, Barbie / Wherever you are.”The “I’m Just Ken” revamp comes ringing in with a video of the song featuring Ronson and Wyatt.

If you still can’t get enough of “I’m Just Ken,” Ryan Gosling‘s ear-candy standout from the Barbie soundtrack, the actor (slash singer) and writer-producer Mark Ronson just released an EP with three new mixes of the song including the holiday-style “I’m Just Ken – Merry Kristmas Barbie”

Barbie has scored the most nominations for next year’s Golden Globes, inching slightly ahead of former summer box office rival Oppenheimer.The nominations for the upcoming ceremony were announced today (December 11), starting awards season off.Both films became huge critical and commercial successes after being released this summer, starting the ‘Barbenheimer’ trend of fans going to see both films on the same day.It now looks like both could be set to dominate awards season, with Barbie scoring nine nominations including Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy, Best Director for Greta Gerwig and Best Actress – Musical or Comedy for Margot Robbie.The film also earned three Best Original Song nods, for ‘What Was I Made For?’ by Billie Eilish and Finneas, ‘Dance the Night’ by Caroline Ailin, Dua Lipa, Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt, and ‘I’m Just Ken’ by Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt.Oppenheimer follows behind with eight nominations, including Best Director for Christopher Nolan, as well as acting nods for Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt and Robert Downey Jr.Both films are also up for the new category of Cinematic and Box Office Achievement in Motion Pictures. Other nominees include Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3, John Wick: Chapter 4, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse, The Super Mario Bros Movie and Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour.Other notable nominees across the board include Poor Things and Killers Of The Flower Moon, which both trail behind with seven nominations each.

Barbie‘s huge impact this awards season continued to be felt on Monday, as the film claimed a leading nine nominations at the Golden Globes, including three of six slots in the category of Best Original Song – Motion Picture.

Mark Ronson has opened up about the making of the Barbie soundtrack, along with Ryan Gosling‘s reaction to ‘I’m Just Ken’.The acclaimed producer gave a new interview to The Guardian about the Barbie soundtrack. Spawning hits such as Dua Lipa‘s ‘Dance The Night Away’ and Billie Eilish‘s ‘What Was I Made For’, Ronson also opened up about the backstory of ‘I’m Just Ken’, which landed at Number 50 of NME’s 50 best songs of 2023 and has been nominated for a Grammy.Ronson, who wrote the soundtrack with Miike Snow‘s frontman Andrew Wyatt, said that he had originated the chorus’ main lyric: “I’m just Ken, anywhere else I’d be a 10”.

Jazz Tangcay Artisans Editor “I’m Just Ken,” the showstopping number performed by Ryan Gosling in “Barbie,” took Mark Ronson and co-songwriting partner Andrew Wyatt just two days to write. “But we needed the entire year to make it what it was,” notes Ronson. It’s been a contender to nab an Oscar original song nomination ever since it was first teased in the film’s trailer earlier this year.

Jon Burlingame Approaches to film scoring have become increasingly eclectic—from jazz and classical to hip-hop and avant-garde—making it more difficult than ever for Academy voters to narrow the field to 15 for Oscar’s shortlist. Variety examines 16 of the possible choices, in alphabetical order: ‘American Fiction‘ – Laura Karpman Cord Jefferson’s movie—about a Black writer who, as a joke, writes a bad novel that becomes a best seller—has a lead character whose name is Thelonious and whose nickname is Monk.

Jem Aswad Executive Editor, Music Whether it’s a soundtrack, a score or a song placement, there are countless wrong ways to do music for film and so few ways to make it feel right. There’s very little leeway, which is why it can be so challenging for even the most successful hitmakers to make the transition to film music — especially with a major film event like “Barbie.” To say that the music for the summer blockbuster has been a success is a vast understatement: Not only is the film’s companion album Variety’s Hitmakers Soundtrack of the Year, the music from the film scored a whopping 11 Grammy nominations across seven categories — including song and record of the year — and four of the five entries nominated for Best Song Written for Visual Media.

Clayton Davis Senior Awards Editor Warner Bros. will be juggling a lot in the Oscar race for best original song. As confirmed by an FYC advertisement sent to Critics Choice Association members, along with the multiple tracks from “Barbie” by Billie Eilish, Dua Lipa, Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt, the studio will also handle several numbers from their two upcoming holiday movie musicals: “The Color Purple” and “Wonka.” The upcoming adaptation of the musical “The Color Purple” will screen in front of its first official audience of industry voters and journalists next week.

After the summer blockbuster success of Barbie, fans everywhere are singing “I’m Just Ken” along with Ryan Gosling. Songwriters Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt shared how the song evolved into such a power anthem at Deadline’s Sound and Screen event Thursday.

Deadline’s Sound & Screen, our awards-season composer showcase of original music for some of this year’s most acclaimed films, gets underway tonight at UCLA’s Royce Hall, with a 60-piece orchestra tuning up to make it all sing.
