Mark Ronson failed to deliver his Golden Globes acceptance speech, and now we know where it ended up

Never let it be said that Mark Ronson lets a good speech go to waste. He had prepared some remarks for any of his two nominated songs Barbie — “I'm Just Ken” or “Dance the Night” — won best original song at the Golden Globes on Sunday. As we all know by now, the speech was unnecessary. Billie Eilish and Finneas won in the category for them Barbie contribution, “Why was he made?”

So Ronson tore up the speech, which he had written on note cards, and tossed it into a wicker wastebasket, presumably in his hotel room, next to an empty suitcase. But the ever-thinking songwriter snapped a photo of the basket and its contents and posted it on Instagram. At least he can get some mileage out of social media. At the time of publication, the humorous post – which also included a red carpet photo and video with wife Grace Gummer – had garnered 19,000 likes.

Barbie had a disappointing night at the Globes. Ryan Gosling, whose breakthrough performance of “I'm Just Ken” was one of the film's undisputed highlights, lost Best Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture to Robert Downey Jr. Oppenheimer. Margot Robbie, who played Barbie in pink perfection, lost Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy to Emma Stone for Poor. Curiously, Barbie lost to Best Picture – Musical or Comedy in Poor.

In the biggest shocker, Greta Gerwig and Noah Bambach lost out on Best Screenplay – a film by Justine Triet and Arthur Harari, the screenwriters of Anatomy of a fall. The screenplay award was widely expected to be awarded Barbie as a sort of consolation prize for Gerwig's expected loss of Best Director – Motion Picture to Christopher Nolan for Oppenheimer.

Of course, BarbieHis long run was so spectacularly successful meh Night at an awards show shouldn't take any of the shine out of the experience. And Ronson seems to have a good sense of humor about the whole thing.
