Has Ryan Gosling ever won an Oscar?

Shockingly, Ryan Gosling has never taken home an Oscar win. That's right, Gosling has never won an Oscar with the award eluding him over the course of his career.

In 2007, the Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role Oscar went to Forest Whitaker for The Last King of Scotland. 10 years later, Gosling was again up for the Best Leading Actor Oscar, but sadly lost to Casey Affleck who took home the Academy Award for Manchester by the Sea.

In 2024, Gosling got yet another opportunity to take home his first Oscar for his work in Barbie. Unfortunately, luck was not on Gosling's side as it was Robert Downey Jr. who won the Oscar for his performance in Oppenheimer, which landed Downey a Golden Globe and SAG Award leading up to the Oscars making him the favorite to win at the Oscars.
