socialRyan Gosling has been everyone's #1 crush for a long time, and this year, he's up for an Oscar for La La Land [1], an award he has a good chance of getting [2]. This is just icing on the cake for anyone who's loved him for a long time, and to honor his onscreen sexiness, we've gathered all the best, hottest pictures of him, from his first films to now.

The subject matter of The Believer is pretty rough, but little Ryan's face isn't. Look at how cute and young he is!

He plays a pretty psychotic high schooler in Murder by Numbers, but this picture is evidence that he learned to smolder early.

He probably taught all his costars to smolder.

This is the face that launched 1,000 "Hey, girls."

Gosling is a man who picks up his ladies to make out. Sigh.

OK, so his usually glorious hair is kinda stringy. Still hot.
Half Nelson
He's got a nasty drug habit, but the power of the Gosling allows one to overlook that. The beard, the devotion to his students, the history knowledge . . .

This is one of the few times he's gone brunette, and it still works.

Don't go, Ryan.

He's in control, but looking at this, we're not.

What I wouldn't give to be sitting inside that car.

Only Gosling can work a scorpion-embroidered silk jacket like that.

Leather driving gloves: good for keeping a firm grip on the wheel and looking effortlessly cool.
