Well, Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively were no-shows at the Golden Globes over the weekend,
00:05
which didn't really surprise anyone, considering what's been going on, that they don't want
00:12
to stand in front of cameras and talk to people and have to answer questions about the war
00:17
with Justin Baldoni.
00:18
But Ryan Reynolds was willing to talk.
00:20
Yes, although not to reporters.
00:23
He was at the National Board of Review Awards last night in New York City and was introducing
00:29
Wicked, which was up for an award.
00:32
And yeah, you could say he's talking about Wicked and the stars of Wicked here.
00:37
Nope.
00:39
This is 100% about what his wife is going through.
00:43
Stories about women seem to be held to a different set of standards, and that is to say that
00:48
they're often held to the standards women are held to in life.
00:52
You must be perfect.
00:53
You must hide your strength.
00:55
You must shapeshift or placate.
00:59
But Donna Langley and Universal, they know where and with whom to place their trust,
01:06
and it paid off in this film.
01:07
I hate to say this, I just don't understand this.
01:11
There may be double standards still, but to say that a woman has to be perfect, it is
01:17
just not...
01:18
His point is that if a woman isn't perfect, then whatever that imperfection is, is magnified.
01:25
He's a strange messenger for this, right?
01:27
He's talking about a movie with two incredibly well-regarded women in the lead roles, both
01:33
of whom will likely get Academy Award nominations.
01:36
He is married to an exceptionally famous, successful actress, who has had, by the way,
01:42
a lot of difficulty with a lot of people on set and different roles she's been in, but
01:46
nevertheless has come through as one of the most successful people in Hollywood.
01:50
It's an interesting message from Ryan Reynolds.
01:53
It really is.
01:54
Let me say something, Jason, what you just said.
01:57
I get most of it.
01:59
Ariana Grande has not been a perfect person.
02:03
I mean, she's had her share of...
02:07
And by the way...
02:08
Hold on, correct me if I'm wrong, and it's been a long time since I've seen the play.
02:11
It is a reference to part of the storyline of Wicked as well, right?
02:16
But they're talking about actresses there.
02:18
They're talking about actresses.
02:19
And my point is, Ariana Grande, like everybody else, nobody is perfect.
02:25
And she's had her things over the years, but she's still able to probably achieve the status
02:32
of winning an Academy Award.
02:33
But he's not talking about the actresses.
02:34
Really?
02:35
I'm saying it's a reference to the storyline.
02:36
It is.
02:37
I'm just going to throw it out there.
02:38
It is possible, maybe it wasn't a double entendre.
02:41
I think it was.
02:42
I think it was.
02:43
And that he was very subtly defending his wife.
02:49
Not so subtly defending his wife.
