“Since the dawn of time, men have been getting lost. This is the story of one such dumb-dumb,” says Mirren, 78, before Kimmel makes his way up to the eccentric home of Weird Barbie (McKinnon, 40).

“I’m hosting the Oscars and I’m lost, and I really need to get back to Hollywood,” he tells Weird Barbie, who responds, “Did you find GPS threatening to your masculinity?”
“I have just the thing for you, Kimmy Jimmel,” she continues. “Let’s go.”
After reviewing a map of Oscars Land with the host, the two jump into the Weird Wagon and drive past scenes from several nominated films, includingKillers of the Flower Moon,Maestro,OppenheimerandPoor Things.
“Hey look, it’s Even Weirder Barbie,” McKinnon’s character says, pointing to Bella Baxter,Emma Stone’s boundary-pushing undead character inPoor Things. “Hey Bella! She’s my cousin.”

Kimmel and Weird Barbie eventually make it to the venue, where Gloria (Ferrera, 39) appears in a hot-pink blazer and delivers a version ofher famousBarbiemonologueas she breaks down the difficulties of hosting the Academy Awards.
“I think what you’re saying is hosting the Oscars is even harder than being a woman!” Kimmel says in response, before Gloria tells him, “No … no, that’s … that’s not all what I was saying.”
Ken (Gosling, 43) — wearing sunglasses and his tie-dye “I Am Kenough” sweatshirt, naturally — then pops up in the backseat of the Weird Wagon holding a bag of fast food and declares to the group, “I got In-N-Out.”
“It’s kind this cool social media trendwhere you get it before the Oscars,” he adds, before taking a sip of his drink.
“Oh hey, Ryan. Um, actually, I think the trend is to have In-N-Outafterthe Oscars — actually, after you’vewonthe Oscar,” Kimmel says.

“Oh, well that’s not gonna happen,” Gosling replies, tossing his In-N-Out order out of the vehicle. “Good thing Greta’s got [Best] Director in the bag.”
“Oh, um, Ryan?” says Ferrera, before leaning over to whisper something in his ear — no doubt the news that Gerwig, 40, isnot nominated in the directing category, despite helming theNo. 1 movie of the yearat the box office — and everyone screams.
As Kimmel and Gosling continue to yell, Mirren’s voice proclaims, “Girls grow into women, but not all boys grow into men. Some remain hopelessly stuck in a loop of infantile foolishness.”
Barbieisup for eight awardsat this year’s Oscars ceremony, including Best Adapted Screenplay for Gerwig and her husband and co-writer,Noah Baumbach, as well as Best Actor for Gosling and Best Supporting Actress for Ferrera.
And while starMargot Robbieis absent from the Best Actress category, she is eligible for an Academy Award in the Best Picture category as a co-producer of the film.
