The rumored relationship of Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone may have not gained traction when it came out following the breakup of the actress with her boyfriend Andrew Garfield in October 2015, but the pair is certainly raking it in terms of critical acclaims, citations and awards for their latest movie together, “La La Land.”
Released in theaters in December last year, “La La Land” has practically dominated the awards season with Ryan Gosling often running away as Best Actor and Emma Stone, getting the nod for Best Actress.
In fact, during the 2017 Golden Globe Awards last month, Emma Stone won as Best Actress for a Musical while Ryan Gosling also won as Best Actor for a Musical.
They are both nominated for acting awards in the upcoming Academy Awards slated on February 26 although the rumors are saying that Emma Stone has better chances of wining the Best Actress plum than Ryan Gosling getting an Oscar for Best Actor.
Just having fun from it all
Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling are in the midst of awards season, and unsurprisingly, it looks like they could not be having more fun, especially considering that they are almost raking everything in.
The pair stepped out together at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival last week, where they were honored with the Outstanding Performers of the Year award.
In addition to sharing a few laughs and cute moments on stage, Emma revealed that she didn’t think she could sing before “La La Land,” saying that she stopped doing musicals when she was young because she thought that she couldn’t sing.
She explained that she started taking voice lessons, and she was so happy to take on “La La Land.” She said that they practiced dancing, and Ryan perfected playing jazz piano. She also disclosed that Ryan practiced three hours a day for three months, reports Pop Sugar.
