Ryan Gosling Helps Oscars Poke Fun At Barbie Snub Backlash In Promo

Published by skeptic

US broadcaster ABC certainly didn’t shy away from the backlash around Barbie’s award nominations in a new promo for the Oscars. The network borrowed heavily from the feminist-tinted blockbuster in an ad for the upcoming Academy Awards, which showed host Jimmy Kimmel navigate his way to Oscarsland with Kate McKinnon as “Weird Barbie”. The nearly five-minute homage takes Jimmy through a montage of 2024’s best movies before he arrives in Hollywood and gets a pep talk from none other than America Ferrera. The Barbie references continue as Best Supporting Actor nominee Ryan Gosling appears while clad in sunglasses and his tie-dye “I Am Kenough” hoodie while sipping from an In-N-Out soda cup and carrying a bag of fast food. Jimmy tells Ryan it’s a bit early for his burger, reminding him how In-N-Out is supposed to be for “after you’ve won” an award, à la Paul Giamatti’s viral moment post-Golden Globes. “Well, that’s not going to happen,” Ryan says, commenting: “Good thing Greta has got director in the bag!” Upon being informed that Barbie director …

David And Victoria Beckham Poke Fun At ‘Working Class’ Exchange In New Ad

Published by skeptic

David and Victoria Beckham are putting a cheeky spin on one of the most memorable moments from the recent Netflix doc Beckham for a new ad campaign. A teaser released on Tuesday for their upcoming Uber Eats advert shows the football legend urging his wife to “be honest” about details of the commercial, which is set to air in the US during the Super Bowl next month. In the clip, Victoria wears a T-shirt bearing the phrase “My dad has a Rolls-Royce,” while noting that “Jessica Aniston” ― playfully misstating the name of actor Jennifer Aniston ― will also appear in the commercial. “We love Jessica,” the former Spice Girl concludes. The campaign is a wink at a now-viral scene from Beckham, in which the singer recalled meeting David for the first time. Sparks flew, she said, when she turned up at one of his Manchester United matches. But when Victoria Beckham described her parents as “very working class,” the comment prompted her husband to sternly remind her to “be honest”, after which she acknowledged …

Ken Jeong and Joel McHale hilariously appeared to drag Jo Koy’s Golden Globes monologue as they took the stage at the 2023 Emmy Awards.  While presenting the Outstanding Reality-Competition Program award during television’s biggest night, the Community co-stars poked fun at the moment when Koy blamed flat jokes on having just accepted the hosting gig 10 days prior.  Playfully bantering with each other, McHale, 52, joked that Jeong — a former doctor — did not leave the medical profession for acting, but rather was kicked out after killing a patient.

And besides, I only had the gig for 10 days at that point.” During his monologue at the 2023 Golden Globes, Koy defended jokes that were not landing, saying, “I got the gig 10 days ago.” Getty Images The joke …
