The Barbie cast has got us in our feelings at the 2024 Oscars, from Billie Eilish's tear-jerking performance of "What Was I Made For" to Greta Gerwig's adorable reaction to Jimmy Kimmel's opening. Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling also had the cutest friendship moment that happened so fast you might have missed it.

During Kimmel's Oscars opening, the comedian gave Robbie and Gosling a shoutout for their performance in the box office hit (which is nominated eight times tonight). "I don't want to leave out Margot Robbie," Kimmel said as the crowd applauded. "Margot put this giant hit together."

"Again, Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling are here tonight," Kimmel said as Gosling, who was seated in the row in front of Robbie, reached back and grabbed her hand. "Look, kids, it's Barbie and Ken sitting just near each other."

Kimmel added that even if the Barbie-and-Ken duo didn't take home any awards tonight, they would always have their dashing good looks (who can argue with that?). "Ryan and Margot, I want you to know that even if neither one of you wins an Oscar tonight, you both already won something much more important: the genetic lottery," Kimmel teased. Like the good brother he is, Gosling brought his sister into the frame and pointed at her.

Robbie and Gerwig had their own sweet moment, as well. The co-workers and pals were photographed chatting and hugging on the carpet.

Elsewhere in his opening, Kimmel addressed Gerwig's controversial snub from the Best Director category. "Now Barbie is a feminist icon thanks to Greta Gerwig, who many believed deserved to be nominated for Best Director," Kimmel said before following that statement up with a joke that blamed the audience for her lack of recognition. "You're the ones who didn't vote for her, by the way! Don't act like you had nothing to do with this," he said. "You did this!"
