Top 10 Things TIME Is Thankful for This Year: Ryan Gosling Is Alive

Hey girl, you’ve had quite the year. Ryan Gosling successfully cast aside The Notebook and his indie-flick past this year and proved himself as a deeply gifted actor and genetically blessed individual. His presence in Crazy, Stupid Love, Drive and Ides of March elevated the otherwise enjoyable films to unexpected levels of cinematic entertainment. For that, we’re thankful that 2011 will go down as the year of Ryan Gosling. Everywhere we looked, Gosling’s soulful, puppy-dog eyes stared back longingly, even from a fake TIME cover. Obvious talent aside, we’re thankful for Gosling’s quirkiness, his heroics, his general awesomeness and the memes he inspired. Heck, we’re even thankful he wasn’t named Sexiest Man Alive so that everyone could be indignant in their love for him and he could become a martyr for sexiness. Thank you, Ryan Gosling. Just, thank you.

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.”

Associated Press just released an article about Ryan talking about his 1st crush Melanie. We think the interview was during the press day(s) of “Crazy, Stupid, Love.” this weekend.

In his new romantic comedy “Crazy, Stupid, Love.,” Ryan Gosling plays Jacob, the ultimate ladies’ man, who can get women into bed faster than it takes him to flash that winning smile and sparkling baby blues.

In real life, the Canadian actor started out as quite a romantic, entering a local air band contest to win the heart of his childhood crush, Melanie.

“We did a duet and we did `Uptown Girl.’ At the end she had to kiss me, and we won. I won a Max Headroom towel and I won that experience of getting to work with her. So it worked out,” the 30-year-old Gosling says. “That was probably pretty stupid. I got a lot of heat from it at school. But it was worth it.”

In the film, opening July 29, Gosling mentors hapless, recently separated Cal (played by Steve Carell) in the ways of picking up women at bars, giving him a trendy new look, a newfound confidence and ultimately a new lease on life.

Gosling got his start on “The Mickey Mouse Club,” singing and dancing with the likes of Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake. He went on to earn critical acclaim for films including “Half Nelson” (2006), “Lars and The Real Girl” (2007) and last year’s indie darling “Blue Valentine,” which garnered him his second Golden Globe nomination.

Despite growing up in showbiz, the actor says he’s still not used to being recognized in public. He says Canadian fans are the most vocal when they spot him.

“The other day I was walking down the street and this lady was like, `Ryan, Canada!,’” and gestured to herself. “She was like, `I’m from Canada.’ I was like, `Oh, OK. Me too.’ It’s like if you don’t recognize the Canadian in them they’re upset. It’s like we’re Highlanders, you know? We’re all just supposed to know when we’re in the same vicinity.”

Gosling, who recently moved to New York from Los Angeles, says choosing roles is more like a “compulsion” than an art.

“In interviews they always ask you why you did things: Why’d you make that movie? Why’d you do that? I don’t really know. And the best way I can describe it is either like dancing — song comes on and you want to dance. You don’t know why, you just want to, so you do,” he explains. “I just always wanted to make movies. And I don’t really know why, I’m just compelled to do it.”

Ryan has been nominated for another award.  Today Ryan was announced as a 68th Golden Globe 2011 nominee for his role in Blue Valentine.  The awards will take place on January 16th 2011.

Michelle Williams was also nominated for Best Actress (Blue Valentine)

“I am very grateful to the HFPA. I also would like to thank them for acknowledging Michelle Williams for her incredible performance. Without the 12 years of director Derek Cianfrance’s unwavering vision and commitment none of this would have been possible. I share this nomination with both of them.”

Along with the December 2nd Special Screening, Blue Valentine also held their press conference.  The blue backdrop is very fitting.
