The Golden Globes are just two days away! Ahead of the highly anticipated awards show, Instagram revealed which of the nominees are the most-followed on the social networking site—and just how much their nominations increased their following.

The ever-witty Ryan Reynolds, who received his first Golden Globes nomination for best actor in a motion picture, musical or comedy, for his starring role in Deadpool, topped the list at 8.9 million followers.

While he already had millions of followers before the nomination, 678,000 more people clicked follow after he landed the nod.

As for the nomination, Reynolds previously told Entertainment Weekly, "It is meaningful to me." He added, "I've been acting professionally for 25 years, to varying degrees of success, and it's a special moment to see something that you've stuck with for the long game pay off. There were many times when I thought this movie wouldn't ever be made or it would made 20 years in the future, when I'd be too geriatric to be in it."

The thesp added on Instagram, "‪Thank you, Golden Globes! As we speak, the entire Deadpool team is engaged in a grotesque, early morning tickle-fight."

Lily Collins trailed the dad-of-two, taking the second-place spot with 5.3 million followers, along with Hailee Steinfeld with 4.3 million followers, Tom Ford with 4.3 million followers, and Kerry Washington with 3.4 million followers to round out the top five.
