Mark Ronson: Celebs Rumors

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.

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”

Ryan Gosling has revisited his iconic song for the Barbie soundtrack, and reimagined it as a Christmas classic.Shared today (December 20), the new release sees the actor – who took on the role of Ken in Greta Gerwig’s hit film – take his song ‘I’m Just Ken’, and re-record it in time for the festive season.Recorded alongside and produced by Mark Ronson, the new Christmas edition of the track is titled ‘I’m Just Ken (Merry Kristmas Barbie)’, and also comes as part of a new ‘Ken’ EP – consisting of three new versions of the song.For the most part, the festive version remains loyal to the debut release, but now incorporates more of an epic approach to that of the original, complete with bells and an orchestra.What’s more, it also comes alongside a new music video set inside a heavily decorated recording studio. In the footage, Gosling is seen telling Ronson how he envisions the final product before they both come together to record it.

Ryan Gosling sometimes regrets coining the phrase “Kenergy.” Speaking on Saturday at Variety‘s Hitmakers event, however, he embraced the idea of “Kenergy” — a term he said he made up while on a press junket for the hit film “Barbie” — to describe musician, songwriter and producer Mark Ronson. Gosling was at Hitmakers to award Ronson, the executive producer behind the “Barbie” soundtrack and a co-producer and co-writer on some of its standout tracks, this year’s honors for Soundtrack of the Year. In doing so, Gosling championed Ronson for being the prime example of “Kenergy” in the real world.

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.
