The confused star who brought Ken to life in the 2023 hit Barbie, remained seated for a moment too long after his song was announced as the winner, looking around the room as everyone at his table rose to their feet.
Moments after the reaction, the clip has already been made into a meme and is trending across social media.
“He’s just created an instant meme with this face,” one X user said.
“Ryan Gosling being surprised ‘I’m Just Ken’ won is so I’m Just Ken of him,” a second said.
“Even Ryan Gosling didn’t believe it,” another remarked.
“Best reaction award goes to Ryan Gosling,” a commenter added alongside a user who called it the “birth of a meme”.
Gosling chose not to go to the stage to accept the award, instead writers Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt made the speech.
“Ryan Gosling, this is as much your award as ours,” Ronson said.
“You made the audience fall in love with this song with your matchless performance, so thank you.”
Also thanked was director Greta Gerwig, her co-writer and husband Noah Baumbach and actor and producer Margot Robbie.
“The fact that you carved out 11 minutes for this prog-rock, power-ballad, dream-ballet, shred fest so the boys could cry and hold hands a little too, we’re really forever in your debt for that,” he went on of the song.
I’m Just Ken beat out other other Barbie hits, Dance the Night and the Golden Globes winner, Billie Eilish’s What Was I Made For?
Also nominated was the Jack Black song Peaches from the Super Mario movie, Road to Freedom in Rustin and This Wish from Disney’s Wish.
