The Golden Globe nominations have finally been announced, and it turns out some people are surprised with one nominee in particular: Ryan Reynolds.

Reynolds had a box office hit with his film Deadpool (based on the Marvel Comics character), and when the Golden Globe nominations were announced on Monday, Dec. 12, the film found itself with a nomination for Best Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy, while Reynolds himself is up for the accolade of Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy.
But here’s the best part: Ryan Gosling‘s movie La La Land is up for the same award, and he, too, is in with a chance of winning an award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy —other males in the category include Colin Farrell for The Lobster, Hugh Grant for Florence Foster Jenkins and Jonah Hill for War Dogs.

Two Ryans in one category (and they’re both Canadian)? We say it’s heaven, but the internet has a few other thoughts on this nomination.

Reynolds also reacted to the surprising nomination, taking to Twitter to thank the organization and reveal that the entire Deadpool team would be celebrating this news — with a tickle fight.
