Earlier, Gosling had reacted strongly to 'Barbie' lead star Margot Robbie and director Greta Gerwig, being snubbed at the nominations.
“I am extremely honored to be nominated by my colleagues alongside such remarkable artists in a year of so many great films. And I never thought I’d being saying this, but I’m also incredible honored and proud that it’s for portraying a plastic doll named Ken,” Gosling said in his statement, as reported by Variety.
“But there is no Ken without Barbie, and there is no ‘Barbie’ movie without Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie, the two people most responsible for this history-making, globally celebrated film," he added.
Oscars 2024 will be hosted by Jimmy Kimmel for the fourth time, and the event will be held on March 10 at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.
In India, the ceremony will be broadcast during the early hours of March 11 due to the time difference.
