Canadian actor and musician Ryan Gosling has received various awards and nominations throughout his career. Gosling first came to public attention as a child star on the Disney Channel's The Mickey Mouse Club (1993–95) and went on to appear in other family entertainment programs including Are You Afraid of the Dark? (1995), Goosebumps (1996), Breaker High (1997–98), and Young Hercules (1998–99). His first serious role was as a Jewish neo-Nazi in The Believer (2001), and he then built a reputation for playing misfits in independent films such as Murder by Numbers (2002), The Slaughter Rule (2002), The United States of Leland (2003), and Stay (2005).
Gosling came to the attention of a wider audience in 2004 with a leading role in the romantic drama The Notebook, for which he won four Teen Choice Awards and an MTV Movie Award. His performance as a drug-addicted teacher in Half Nelson (2006) won him an Independent Spirit Award, and he was nominated for the Critics' Choice Movie Award, Satellite Award, Screen Actors Guild Award and Academy Award, all for Best Actor in a Leading Role. At age 26, he was the seventh-youngest Best Actor nominee at the time. Gosling's performance as a socially inept loner in Lars and the Real Girl (2007) won him a Satellite Award, and he was nominated for a Critics' Choice Movie Award, Golden Globe Award and Screen Actors Guild Award. In 2007, he starred in the courtroom thriller Fracture.
After a three-year acting hiatus, Gosling starred in both Blue Valentine and All Good Things in 2010. The former performance as a frazzled husband earned him a Critics' Choice Movie Award, Golden Globe Award, and Satellite Award nomination. 2011 proved to be a landmark year for the actor as he appeared in three mainstream films—the romantic comedy Crazy, Stupid, Love, the neo-noir crime thriller Drive, and the political drama The Ides of March—and received two Golden Globe Award nominations. His performance as an unnamed getaway driver for Drive won him his second Satellite Award, and he was nominated for a Critics' Choice Movie Award and an Independent Spirit Award.
In 2016, Gosling starred in the musical comedy-drama La La Land, playing a struggling jazz pianist. His performance earned him a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Motion Picture Musical or Comedy, and nominations for an Academy Award, BAFTA Award, Critics' Choice Movie Award, Satellite Award and Screen Actors Guild Award.
In 2023, Gosling played Ken in Greta Gerwig's Barbie, which emerged as his biggest box office success, and earned him nominations for the AACTA, Academy, BAFTA, Critics' Choice, Golden Globe and SAG Awards for Best Supporting Actor, winning the former. He also garnered ensemble cast nominations at both the Critics' Choice and SAG Awards. His hosting of a 2024 episode of Saturday Night Live earned him a nomination for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series in 2024.
