Gosling, who voiced the role of Ken in the film, did not get up to accept the award or give a speech. Instead, he remained seated and looked around the room with a puzzled look on his face, as if he could not believe what he had just heard.
The hilarious moment quickly went viral on social media, with fans and celebrities alike commenting on Gosling’s priceless reaction.
