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.

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”
