He was overheard shouting “Love you Mom... you’re the best mom ever,” just as Donna Gosling, his mother, crossed the stage to claim her English degree. Gosling, 30, was born in London, Ont. and attended Lester B. Pearson High School in Burlington, Ont. He was nominated for Best Actor at the 2006 Academy Awards for his role in the film Half Nelson.
