In the mid-aughts, there was nobody cooler than Disney stars Selena Gomez and Vanessa Hudgens, who starred in the Wizards of Waverly Place and the High School Musical film series, respectively. Now it’s 2022, and — well, there’s still nobody cooler than Selena Gomez, and Hudgens ain’t so bad herself.

Gomez currently stars in Only Murders in the Building, which was up for outstanding ensemble comedy performance, while Hudgens’ tick, tick…BOOM! co-star Andrew Garfield was nominated for male actor in a leading role. E! News captured the pair’s backstage reunion and tweeted it during the award show on Sunday night. “The real ones know,” the account wrote in a follow-up tweet.
