While we're eager to know Jackman's reaction, there's also the curiousity to how Ryan Reynolds feels about his frenemy's Emmy nod. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, the Wolverine actor quipped, "Blake [Lively] just texted me. Said he won't get out of bed, he's furious. He's very angry with the Academy. He'll be fine. He'll spend three or four days in bed, you know, and then he'll get over it." Moreover, Jackman shared a video featuring the Deadpool actor congratulating him as he joked, "Buddy... Congratulations! I just heard you got an Emmy nomination. That's just crazy... that's crazy. Not cause you don't deserve it... well!"
