  • Margot Robbie, who played Barbie, initially didn't plan on playing the title role, but ended up delivering a performance that has led to Best Actress nominations at both the Golden Globes and the Critics Choice Awards.
  • Gosling joked about performing his song 'I'm Just Ken' at the Oscars, though he hasn't been invited yet.
