BarbieKate McKinnon, America Ferrera and Ryan Gosling reprized their roles alongside Oscar host Jimmy Kimmel in a new promo for the 96th Academy Awards on March 10.
The clip begins with narration courtesy of Helen Mirren, who also provided the voiceover for Barbie last year. “Since the beginning of time, men have been lost,” Mirren narrates as Jimmy Kimmel searches for a way back to “OscarsLand.” Kimmel then joins Kate McKinnon's 'Weirdo Barbie' as she shows him how to make the jump from BarbieLand back to the real world: “A shot straight through the Area of interest, past Past Liveson Anatomy of a fall Falls, and all the way to Carnegie Hall. Then go up the hill to Burton Academy, grab a Jeffery Wright, and continue on to Los Alamos, New Mexico.”
McKinnon and Kimmel then recreate the film's traveling montage sequence with some star-studded film references (Weird Barbie shouts out Emma Stone's character in poor things as “Barbie even weirder” and claims that she is her cousin). Various Oscar-related jokes follow, including a comedic dig at Kimmel's nemesis Matt Damon, until Kimmel and McKinnon finally land at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood.
América Ferrera then appears to repeat his much-quoted Barbie monologue, but instead of being about the contradictions of femininity in society, it's about how difficult it is to host the Oscars. Finally, Ryan Gosling joins the trio for some typical Ken antics, concluding the segment by yelling at Kimmel because Greta Gerwig didn't get a Best Director nomination. Watch the clip below.
