The camera then panned to Guns N’ Roses‘ Slash ripping through a guitar solo with Wolfgang Van Halen supporting. As Gosling walked around the floor of the theatre, he handed the mic to Barbie director Greta Gerwig, Barbie herself Margot Robbie and America Ferrera to sing along. Gosling’s La La Land co-star Emma Stone also chimed in.
Earlier during the awards show, Billie Eilish and Finneas took to the stage to perform the Barbie cut ‘What Was I Made For’. Following Gosling’s performance, Eilish and Finneas won the award for Best Song for the same track.
