Sophia Bowman
Emily Blunt and Ryan Gosling took the stage together to present an award, and while up there, jokingly argued about Barbenheimerāthe cultural phenomenon that surrounded last summerās simultaneous theatrical release of Barbie (which Gosling stars in) and Oppenheimer (which Blunt stars in).
āIām just happy we can finally put this Barbenheimer rivalry behind us,ā Gosling said, to which Blunt replied, āThe way this award season has turned out, it wasnāt that much of a rivalry, so just let it go!ā
āItās true, you guys are doing very well, congratulations,ā Gosling joked, before adding one final jab: āBut, you know, I think I kind of figured out why they call it āBarbenheimerā and they didnāt call it āOppenbarbie.ā I think you guys are at the tail end of that ācause you were riding Barbieās coattails all summer!ā he said, to laughs and cheers from the audience.
