When The Fall Guy co-stars Emily Blunt and Ryan Gosling took the stage at the Oscars, they decided to tackle the Barbenheimer-shaped elephant in the room.
With their witty banter and playful skit, they addressed the supposed rivalry between them, making it clear that there was no bad blood between them.
As Ryan Gosling began the skit, he humorously remarked, “I’m just happy that we can finally put this Barbenheimer rivalry aside.”
Emily Blunt, quick with her response, quipped, “The way this award season has turned out, it wasn’t that much of a rivalry. Just let it go!” Clearly, they were referencing the dominance of Oppenheimer, the other contender, in this year’s awards season.
Oppenheimer, with its impressive nominations and wins, seemed to have overshadowed the competition. Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie, both talented actresses, unfortunately missed out on nominations.
Ryan acknowledged this by saying, “It’s true. You guys are doing very well, you know? Congratulations.”
However, he couldn’t resist adding a cheeky remark, “But I think I kind of figured out why it’s called Barbenheimer and not Oppenarbie. You’re on the tail end because you rode Barbie’s coattails all summer.”
Emily, never one to back down, retorted, “Thanks for Kens-plaining that to me, all right. Mr. ‘I need to paint my abs on to get nominated!’ You don’t see Robert Downey doing that.”
The playful banter between the two co-stars added a lighthearted touch to the evening, reminding everyone that competition doesn’t have to be taken too seriously.
So far in the awards season, Oppenheimer has been dominating the wins, with accolades in categories such as Best Cinematography, Best Supporting Actor for Robert Downey Jr, and Best Editing.
The success of Oppenheimer has been undeniable, but it’s important to remember that awards are just one aspect of the film industry.
