“I really, really wanted to send out a positive message at the beginning of the year, but recent events have made that impossible.[…]. Don’t get me wrong, I loved ‘Spirited’. It’s a great movie … I love Will, I love Octavia [Spencer] … the song ‘Good Afternoon’, I laughed the entire way through, it is absolutely brilliant. However, I just heard the Academy have short-listed ‘Good Afternoon’ [for the 2023 Oscars].”
According to Jackman, the Deadpool actor, Ryan Reynolds receiving a nomination in the Oscars best song category “would make the next year of my life insufferable.“.

Ryan Reynolds’ “Good Afternoon” Nominated for an Oscar
Ryan Reynolds and Will Ferrell’s movie, “Spirited” was released on November 11, 2022, and received positive critical reviews and praise for its songs and great chemistry between the actors, but was also criticized for its poor adaptation of Charles Dickens’s famous Christmas novella A Christmas Carol.
Spirited unites the two comedians, Ryan Reynolds and Will Ferrell to rejuvenate Dickens’s classic novelas Reynolds sets the scene as an unredeemable businessman and Will Ferrell, the Ghost of Christmas Present sets his heart on redeeming him. The twist in the tale occurs when the audience discovers that Ferrell’s character himself is the infamous Scrooge, and Reynolds’s Clint Briggs finally reconciles with himself before taking up the role of Ghost of Christmas Present, letting Ferrell’s character live out his life on Earth as a redeemed human.
