Why An Oscar Win For Ryan Gosling Is Historic. And How One Man Brought Cagney's Story To The Stage. Ryan Gosling may make history tonight. If he wins an Academy Award for La La Land, it would mark the first Best Actor win for an original Hollywood musical since James Cagney won his Oscar for Yankee Doodle Dandy in 1943. The only other two Best Actor winners in movie musicals were Yul Brynner (The King & I), and Rex Harrison (My Fair Lady).
