The 2024 Oscars have just taken place and in the exact same fashion as every year, the pop culture moments stole the show and are all everyone’s talking about. From countless teary acceptance speeches to a shocking pregnancy announcement, it was a busy evening. We’re going to break down 5 of the key pop culture moments to keep you in the loop.
Ryan Goslings Live Rendition Of I’m Just Ken
As much as we are disappointed that Barbie didn’t receive any nominations, nor the talented women that starred in and created our favourite feminist production, we were pleased that the film got a little lime light with Ryan Goslings hilarious live performance of the movies number “I’m Just Ken”.

He wore and pink glittery suit and had the most talented names in hysterics over his hilarious rendition of the song. Gosling shocked the crowd even further when he brough legendary guitarist Slash up to accompany his performance. Gosling descended the stage and passed the mic to his Barbie co-workers Greta Gerwig, Margot Robbie, and America Ferrera. And proceeded to hand it to longtime friend and previous costar Emma Stone, who belted the lyrics like her life depended on it.

With the success of her podcast/dating show “Chicken Shop Date”, British broadcaster Amelia Dimoldenberg has become incredibly popular with Gen Zs for her satire humour as well as her roster of high profile and A list guests. Her presenting career has skyrocketed over the last year particularly resulting in her conducting red carpet interviews on the Oscars red carpet.

What really jerked the tears from her A list audience was her dedication to her daughter, quoting Taylor Swifts“Bigger Than the Whole Sky,” saying “I love you bigger than the whole sky, my girl.”
Ryan Gosling And Emily Blunt Hosting
Emily Blunt and Ryan Gosling has the crowd in hysterics with their witty banter while presenting – they jokingly bickered , about Barbenheimer – the talk of cinema last summer around the simultaneous release of Barbie (which Gosling stars in) and Oppenheimer (which Blunt stars in).

During the speech Gosling said “I’m just happy we can finally put this Barbenheimer rivalry behind us,” and Blunt hilariously responded “The way this award season has turned out, it wasn’t that much of a rivalry, so just let it go!”
Gosling continued saying “I think I kind of figured out why they call it ‘Barbenheimer’ and they didn’t call it ‘Oppenbarbie.’ I think you guys are at the tail end of that ’cause you were riding Barbie’s coattails all summer!”

Since the turmoil after it was announced that Vanessa Hudgens ex of 10 years, and Elvis star, was getting engaged to someone else, the whole internet has been routing for her to find her own happily ever after. In December of last year, the actress got hitched to baseball star Cole Tucker in Tulum, Mexico. The gorgeous newlywed chose to break the news of her pregnancy on the Oscars red carpet and we couldn’t be happier for her.
