00:43Welcome to Splane Daily.

01:04It all went down on December 1st at the 35th Annual Gotham Awards in New York City.

01:09Hugh Jackman, looking sharp in a tailored tux, and Kate Hudson, glowing in old Hollywood glamour,

01:20Song Sun Blue, a heartfelt musical about a real-life Neil Diamond tribute duo from the 1980s.

01:27The crowd loved every second.

01:29And of course, Hugh couldn't resist stirring the pot.

01:32Grinning, he grabbed the mic and said,

01:35This is so cool, and something to make Ryan Reynolds insanely jealous.

01:39I love it.

01:40The room erupted.

01:41Kate laughed, leaned in, and even sang a few bars of Sweet Caroline with him.

01:46It was pure, joyful chaos.

01:49The kind of moment that instantly takes you back to the movies and music we grew up with.

02:02To understand why this feud moment hit so hard, we have to rewind.

02:06Hugh and Ryan's playful rivalry has been going on for years.

02:09It started with small jabs, then grew into legendary online trolling.

02:14Hugh would post little digs during Wolverine promotions.

02:17Ryan would fire back with outrageous Deadpool memes.

02:21The internet loved every second.

02:23But the peak came when they finally teamed up in Deadpool and Wolverine,

02:28that billion-dollar blockbuster where their on-screen chemistry and off-screen banter stole every moment.

02:33For many of us, their jokes became part of our daily conversation.

02:38Hugh's Gotham line wasn't just trolling.

02:40It was a continuation of a friendship that's lasted decades.

02:43And then there's Kate Hudson, the queen of stealing scenes without even trying.

02:52when she made an entire generation fall in love with her warmth and spark.

02:57At the Gotham Awards, she didn't just stand by smiling.

03:00She joined in the moment wholeheartedly, praising Hugh, teasing the audience,

03:05and celebrating the joy of performing.

03:07She also talked about music and how deeply it shapes our lives.

03:11Hugh praised her right back, calling her one of the great stars of our business

03:15and saying she could win an Oscar for Song Sun Blue.

03:18Hearing two icons lift each other up like that feels rare and beautiful these days.

03:23And that's really what made this moment matter.

03:26In a world full of rushed headlines, arguments, and endless reboots,
