Cillian Murphy wowed the Academy with his portrayal of complex physicist Robert Oppenheimer, scooping up the award for Best Actor at last night's Oscars, but the performance that was truly imprinted on our minds was delivered by none other than Barbie's very own Ryan Gosling.
If for some unbeknownst reason you didn't tune in for the biggest date in the Hollywood calendar, know that you missed an absolute corker of a pop culture moment.

Infusing Los Angeles' Dolby Theatre with his now-signature Kenergy, the 43-year-old began his performance seated in the audience, much to the delight of his giggling Barbie co-stars.

Déjà vu, anyone? What eagle-eyed film fanatics will have noticed was that the setup felt richly reminiscent of an iconic cinematic moment featuring Marilyn Monroe.

Marilyn brought next-level glamour in a strapless gown as she belted out Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend, supported by her dapper male entourage.
Ryan paid tribute to the Hollywood star by leaning into her all-eyes-on-me energy, proving that the combination of bright pink, sparkly jewels and an elaborate choreo routine always makes for excellent viewing.
