• In a video posted just after the new year, Jackman begged the Academy not to nominate Reynolds, claiming it would “make the next year of my life insufferable.”

• The one person likely to be disappointed — should “Spirited” get the nod and land Reynolds alongside Ferrell on the Oscars’ stage — is “X-Men” actor Hugh Jackman.
