Well... that was certainly Kenough.

With the 96th annual Academy Awards in full swing, the show needed a little something to give the show a little "oomph" to see it over the finish line. And it turns out that "little something" was a dose of Kenergy.

It was the moment we'd all been waiting for ever since it was first announced that Ryan Gosling would be performing his 2023 Barbie hit 'I'm Just Ken' live at the Oscars.

And it was better than any of us could have imagined. Check it out below:

From the performance starting in the crowd to Margot's serenade to Slash to the other Kens to the brief La La Land reunion - it was superb. In fact, many viewers are calling it the "best Oscars moment ever".

"And the winner for BEST OSCAR MOMENT EVER goes to Ryan Gosling," one person tweeted.

Another X user wrote: "This is probably the best thing that ever happened in Oscars history! Ryan Gosling you’re THE moment! You sound so great live too!"

"This is single handedly the best Oscars moment ever," another X user added.

One viewer gushed: "Thank f**ing God Ryan Gosling agreed to perform I'm Just Ken live at the Oscars. Probably one of the best Oscar moments like ever."

Sadly, shortly after the performance, Gosling missed out on the Oscar for Best Original Song to Billie Eilish and her brother Finneas O'Connell.

The song was 'What Was I Made For?' which was part of the Barbie soundtrack.

Let's just see if the rest of the show can top it.
