Emily Blunt takes savage swipe at Ryan Gosling over Barbie movie during the Oscars
Emily Blunt and Ryan Gosling finally addressed the Barbenheimer saga as the duo came together to honour the stunt performing community.
The two films have been up against each other ever since Barbie earned $1.4 billion at the global box office.
Oppenheimer, on the other hand, made $957 million.
Taking to the stage at this year's Academy Awards, the pair were there to address the elephant in the room.

Watch below:
“I’m happy we can finally put the Barbenheimer rivalry behind us,” Gosling joked, as Blunt responded: “That’s right, here’s Ken and Kitty, just leaving all that fodder in the dust.”
“And the way this awards season turned out, it wasn’t that much of a rivalry, so just let it go!” Blunt added, as Oppenheimer has swept the awards across the board.
The Barbie star then told Blunt he knew why the phenomenon was called 'Barbenheimer' and not 'Oppenbarbie'.
"You were riding Barbie's coat tails all summer," he quipped
While Blunt joked: "Thanks for Ken-splaining that for me."
Gosling then attempted to pull the mic away when the British actor said his abs were painted on.
A tough one to take.
As the 96th Academy Awards kicked off this evening (10 March), late night presenter Jimmy Kimmel returned to host the famous event.
In his opening monologue, the comedian did not hold back as he joked about Oppenheimer director Christopher Nolan having a porn addiction and Robert Downey Jr’s 'rectangular-shaped' manhood before he took home Best Supporting Actor and his first ever Oscar.
"This is the highest point in Robert Downey Jr's long and illustrious career," he also jibed, alluding to the actor's previous drug addiction.
"Someone tell Jimmy Kimmel that Robert Downey Jr drug jokes are no longer funny (not that they ever really were tbh).. RDJ looks so uncomfortable," one penned on social media.
"Jimmy Kimmel lost my interest when he starting making drug jokes about Robert Downey Jr.... and then he starting making jokes about Bradley Cooper dating his mom.....this Oscars Opening Monologue is a hard no for me," another went on.
Kimmel also took a dig at the Academy for not nominating Barbie director Greta Gerwig.
"I know you’re clapping, but you’re the ones who didn’t vote for her," he said.
“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,” Kimmel added. “The genetic lottery.”
Despite getting some laughs from the crowd, people have complained that his speech was 'too long'.
Jimmy Kimmel Full Oscar Speech (3hrs 23mins)," one person tweeted.
"How long is Jimmy Kimmel's speech going to be can he wrap this up now," a second said.
"Jimmy Kimmel can be done any time now. He is going way too long, and he's trying to be so over the top. I just don't know," a third added.
