Ryan Gosling [1]'s enchanting performance in La La Land has earned him an Oscar nomination! The star, who already took home the Golden Globe for best actor [2] for his role in the film, reacted to the exciting news shortly after the nominations were announced [3] on Tuesday morning. "I'm very grateful to the Academy for recognizing my work in La La Land," he said in a statement. "It was a true collaboration, so to see everyone else's wonderful work on the film acknowledged so generously makes it even more special." The film scored a whopping 14 nominations [4], including best picture, best director for Damien Chazelle, and best actress for Emma Stone [5]. Here's hoping Ryan, who was previously nominated for an Oscar in 2007 for his role in Half Nelson, brings Eva Mendes [6] as his date for this year's show.
