As you may have noticed Ryan did not attend the Golden Globes last night (January 15) even though he was nominated for Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama (The Ides of March) and Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture – Comedy Or Musical (Crazy, Stupid, Love).

He didn’t win both awards, he lost them to George Clooney (The Descendants) and Jean Dujardin (The Artist).

Ryan was seen last week catching a flight at LAX Airport and according to his “The Ides of March” co-star George Clooney he did indeed flew to Thailand.

He “is in Thailand or something,” the best-actor winner, 50, said of his category rival, 31. “And you know what you do in Thailand.”

“He’s working, I think, in Thailand,” Clooney added. “He wrote me a nice letter, an email, this morning. You know, he’s gotta work, he’s gotta earn a living, he’s a struggling actor.”

Gosling’s rep earlier revealed only that the actor was “working out of the country.” He is said to be shooting Only God Forgives, a mixed martial arts movie set in Bangkok.

We assume he will be working on “Only God Forgives” with director Nicolas Winding Refn.

Ryan was part of Funny Or Die’s “Drunk History Christmas” with his “Place beyond the pines” co-star Eva Mendes and Jim Carrey. Be sure to watch the video below.

Everywhere we looked, Ryan Gosling was there. On-screen, stealing hearts and smashing skulls. On the red carpet, embarrassing the rest of young Hollywood. And even in the streets, breaking up quarrels with style and grace. Gosling owned 2011. Let us count the ways

We wanted to wish Ryan a happy (belated) birthday because he turned 31 yesterday. We hope he had a wonderful day with family and friends! Sorry that I didn’t update you yesterday but my laptop broke yesterday and I have to bring it back to the store. I am not sure how long it will take to get it fixed but updates may come a little later then usual.

We also had a suprised planned to celebrate Ryan’s birthday: I wanted to put up a brand new layout, sadly I could not finish it in time because of my laptop. I will get it up as soon as possible but there isn’t much I can do about it.

Ryan Gosling has landed a new leading role in Terrence Malicks upcoming film ‘Lawless’.  This film is holding an all star cast which included, Cate Blanchett and Christian Bale.

Terrence Malick has assembled all-star casts for his next two films, which he’ll shoot back to back in 2012: Lawless and Knight of Cups. Glen Basner’s FilmNation will launch both projects to foreign buyers at the American Film Market, which gets underway Wednesday in Santa Monica.

Ryan Gosling will stake a starring role in Lawless, while the supporting cast includes Christian Bale, Cate Blanchett, Rooney Mara and Haley Bennett.

MSNBC recently wrote an article about Ryan and his career and we participated in the interview because we answered some question and we got some quotes in the article. Be sure to read it below/inside:

He’s had plenty of roles, but Ryan Gosling hasn’t made the same movie twice.

Recently, he starred in the dark indie “Blue Valentine,” the zippy romantic comedy “Crazy, Stupid Love,” and the action thriller “Drive.” On Oct. 7, he’ll headline “The Ides of March,” a drama about a staffer for a presidential candidate (George Clooney) who gets plunged into dirty politics. His resume also includes quirky comedies (“Lars and the Real Girl”), thrillers (“Murder By Numbers”), and one of the most beloved romances of the last twenty years (“The Notebook.”)

His fans have noticed the diversity. “What I find appealing about Ryan is the wide range of roles and movies he does,” says Leslie Henstock, a movie buff in Manhattan.

“I think the variety of choices in his films is what makes him stand out in his age group.” said, Lindsey, who asked that her last name not be used, but is the owner of the website GoslingFan.com. “He doesn’t repeat himself. He is brave, and he doesn’t stick to what he knows because he challenges himself.”

Ryan is scheduled to appear on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno at NBC on Monday September 26 (tomorrow). We are assuming he will be promoting “The Ides of March” but it could still be promo for “Drive” as well. Please check your local listings for the correct time!
