Hugh Jackman made a very serious but hilarious plea to the Academy in a video: “Please don’t nominate Ryan Reynolds for Best Original Song.” reason? If Spirit’s song “Good Afternoon” is nominated for an Oscar, Jackman’s life will be “unbearable” for an entire year. Yes, he was talking about co-starring with Reynolds in Deadpool 3. Imagine that mess.
In the video, Jackman sat expressionless in front of the camera and expressed his desire to send a “positive message” in the new year. But of course, the latest Spirited development has derailed that. “I wanted to send a really, really positive message at the beginning of the year, but recent events have made that impossible,” he said, setting the stage for a tongue-in-cheek Oscar plea.
Now, if you’re wondering what “recent events” means, Reynolds’ infectious musical number “Good Afternoon” is a finalist for Best Original Song at the 2024 Oscars. Selected. Jackman gave the song his all, even admitting that his family had “a lot of fun” watching Spirited.

“I have to spend a year filming Wolverine and Deadpool with him. Believe me, it’s impossible. It’s going to be a problem,” Jackman continued darkly, giving Oscar revealed that sharing a film set with Reynolds was an intolerable scenario.
But wait. It wasn’t just complaints. Professionally, Jackman concluded by emphasizing his love for the Spirited cast, which includes Will Ferrell, Octavia Spencer, and songwriters Benj Pasek and Justin Paul. “I love ‘Spirited,’ I love Will, I love Octavia, I love the song ‘Good Afternoon,’ I love Benji and Justin. But from the bottom of my heart, please don’t justify Ryan Reynolds like this. Please,” Jackman concluded, as expressionless as ever.
Of course, Reynolds wasn’t going to leave this fight without a jab. After Jackman’s video went viral, Reynolds responded with a cheeky tweet: Deepfake sang and danced for Will and I and would love to perform at the Oscars. ” Classic Reynolds always brings the jokes to life. Any mention of deepfakes? It’s a nod to the hilarious CGI-enhanced performances in Spirited.
However, here’s the kicker. Even if The Good Afternoon were nominated for an Oscar, Reynolds technically wouldn’t be a nominee. This award is given to lyricists and composers, not performers. So while there’s a chance Reynolds will perform the song live at the awards ceremony, his Oscar hopes are in doubt because of the screenplay by Benj Pasek, Justin Paul, Kiyon Hershey, Mark Sonnenblick, and Scully Jones. It will be limited to teams.
Despite the confusion, this whole exchange gave fans a hilarious behind-the-scenes look at Deadpool 3, where Jackman and Reynolds are set to face off as Wolverine and Deadpool again.
