Ryan Gosling has refused to give up his Oscar nomination in solidarity with his Barbie co-stars.

The 43-year-old actor has been nominated for Best Supporting Actor at the 94th Academy Awards for his performance as plastic male doll Ken in the critically panned comic fantasy film.

Calls for the actor to withdraw his nomination grew after he criticised the Oscars for excluding lead actress Margot Robbie and director Greta Gerwig from their respective categories.

However, despite identifying with the emotions, the La La Land star refuses to be “swayed by what anyone is saying online,” according to a Daily Mail insider.

“Ryan is honoured that he and the film have been nominated,” the insider said. “In the chance he does win or if he performs I’m Just Ken, he will honour Margot and Greta in one way or another.”

After the nominations were announced, Gosling expressed disappointment with the Academy for failing to recognize the film’s driving factors.

“Against all odds with nothing but a couple of soulless, scantily clad, and thankfully crotchless dolls, they made us laugh, they broke our hearts, they pushed the culture and they made history,” he remarked in reference to Greta and Margot.

According to an informant, the actor from The Notebook is no longer interested in stirring up trouble. They kept on saying: “He spoke about it and people should take what he said seriously because he meant every single word.”
