Ryan Gosling had been gearing up for the 2024 Oscars since finding out he was nominated for Best Supporting Actor, and he ensured it was a night to remember – not just for himself but for the whole family!
The Hollywood star was joined by three plus-ones at the 96th Academy Awards - his sister Mandi, mom Donna Gosling and stepdad Valerio Attanasio.
The family genes are certainly strong too, as the actor looks identical to his sister.
Ryan looked smart dressed in a black suit, while his sister wowed in a figure-hugging gold and black gown.
Ryan's mom looked stylish in a cut-out dress teamed with a pink bag, while his dad was dapper in a classic tuxedo.

Missing from the red carpet was Ryan's longtime, Eva Mendes, who stated early into awards season that she wasn't planning to walk the carpet.

Ryan being supported by his entire family on Oscars night would have meant the world to him. He has been seen attending the various Barbie premieres and mainstream award ceremonies solo, skipping the carpet himself several times to make an appearance directly at the ceremony.

Until he met Eva, parenthood wasn't on Ryan's mind, but that quickly changed. He told GQ in 2023 that he "wasn’t thinking about kids before I met her, but after I met Eva, I realized that I just didn’t want to have kids without her."

"I did see him [Ken], like, face down in the mud outside one day, next to a squished lemon, and it was like, 'This guy’s story does need to be told,' you know?"
Ryan's daughters were no doubt rooting for their dad, but they weren't the only Hollywood children cheering him on. Fellow Oscar nominee Emily Blunt recently revealed that her daughters, Hazel and Violet, were also hoping Ryan would win.

"Ryan Gosling, I mean, he reigns supreme in our house," Emily shared. She added that her daughters were massive fans of not only the actor, who stars opposite Emily in the upcoming The Fall Guy, but also of Barbie.

The audience began to laugh, as Emily continued: "And my kids were like, 'Really?' So they started singing, 'I blame Ken!'" Although Violet came to the Barbie star's defence.
"My little one, who's particularly in love with him, was like, 'I mean I don't really want to blame Ken, because I love him so much.' It was very cute!" While they haven't yet met Ryan, Emily reiterated that "they want to… bad."
Hilariously, Emily and Ryan both went on stage together to pay tribute to stunt men in Hollywood, and Emily didn't waste any time in roasting Ryan, joking that Oppenheimer had swept Barbie under the carpet this awards season.
