All the Highlights and Best Moments From the 2024 Oscars

Emily Blunt and Ryan Gosling took the stage together to present an award, and while up there, jokingly argued about Barbenheimer—the cultural phenomenon that surrounded last summer’s simultaneous theatrical release of Barbie (which Gosling stars in) and Oppenheimer (which Blunt stars in).

“I’m just happy we can finally put this Barbenheimer rivalry behind us,” Gosling said, to which Blunt replied, “The way this award season has turned out, it wasn’t that much of a rivalry, so just let it go!”

“It’s true, you guys are doing very well, congratulations,” Gosling joked, before adding one final jab: “But, you know, 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!” he said, to laughs and cheers from the audience.
