Vanessa Hudgens was overheard admitting to having a crush on Ryan Gosling.

The former High School Musical star was at the Oster Media Presents Leila Shams party in New York on Thursday night.

Vanessa was asked about which Oscar nominations deserved wins at the prestigious film event later this month. Despite neither Drive nor Ryan's performance in the film being nominated, the beauty took the time to gush about the Hollywood hunk.

"I just adore Ryan Gosling. I love him, and I loved that movie Drive," she was heard saying by the New York Post.

The 84th Annual Academy Awards will take place on Sunday, 26 February 2012.

Ryan is currently dating beauty Eva Mendes, while Vanessa is romancing Austin Butler. She had a high-profile relationship with Disney co-star Zac Efron which ended in December 2012.

Other stars at the New York event included Rose McGowan, Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves. Musician Eve performed at the party.
