<p>Actor Ryan Reynolds says that if a song from his holiday Apple TV+ offering &#8220;Spirited&#8221; were to earn an Academy Award nomination, he would feel obligated to &#8220;show up on that stage and embarrass myself.&#8221;</p>
<p>The song in question is titled &#8220;Good Afternoon&#8221; and is already reportedly on a &#8220;<a href="https://variety.com/feature/2023-oscars-best-original-song-predictions-1235396256/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shortlist</a>&#8221; shared by entertainment site Variety:</p>

<li>“Naatu Naatu” by Kala Bhairava, M. M. Keeravani, Rahul Sipligunj (&#8220;RRR&#8221;)</li>
<li>“Ciao Papa” by Alexandre Desplat, Roeban Katz and Guillermo del Toro (&#8220;Guillermo del Toro&#8217;s Pinocchio&#8221;)</li>
<li>“Applause” by Diane Warren (&#8220;Tell it Like a Woman&#8221;)</li>
<li>“Til You’re Home” by Rita Wilson (&#8220;A Man Called Otto&#8221;)</li>
<li>&#8220;Hold My Hand” by Lady Gaga and Bloodpop (&#8220;Top Gun: Maverick&#8221;)</li>
<li>“This is a Life” by David Byrne, Ryan Lott and Mitski (&#8220;Everything Everywhere All at Once&#8221;)</li>

</ol>
<p>&#8220;Good Afternoon&#8221; writer Justin Paul <a href="https://variety.com/2023/artisans/awards/ryan-reynolds-spirited-good-afternoon-oscars-original-song-1235489178/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told Variety</a> that he&#8217;d love to see the song nominated, in part because he&#8217;d love to see actors Reynolds and Will Ferrell perform the number live at the Academy Awards.</p>
<p>&#8220;I need them on stage,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>And Reynolds appears to be amenable to that, though he&#8217;s not expecting it. &#8220;I’m not thinking about that,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Look, if this song is nominated for an Academy Award, I would say that the least I can do is show up on that stage and embarrass myself.&#8221;</p>

<p>The one person likely to be disappointed — should &#8220;Spirited&#8221; get the nod and land Reynolds alongside Ferrell on the Oscars&#8217; stage — is &#8220;X-Men&#8221; actor Hugh Jackman. <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/watch-hugh-jackman-begs-academy-not-to-nominate-ryan-reynolds/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jackman</a>, who often trades barbs with Reynolds — and is set to appear with him in the next &#8220;Deadpool&#8221; movie — shared his concerns about the prospect.</p>

<p>In a video posted just after the new year, Jackman begged the Academy not to nominate Reynolds, claiming it would &#8220;make the next year of my life insufferable.&#8221;</p>
<p>Reynolds responded with a video of his own, first calling on the Academy to nominate Jackman for his role in &#8220;The Son&#8221; and then, after apparently pretending to shut the feed off, mumbled under his breath about him.</p>
