Ryan Reynolds is still hoping that "Deadpool" will get nominations at the 89th Annual Academy Awards. The Merc with a Mouth depicter jokingly submitted his box office hit for "considerbation" by listing out a few accolades from Golden Girls among others early last year, but now he seems to take things seriously.
"Deadpool" was nominated for Best Picture - Comedy/Musical and Best Actor for Reynolds at the 2017 Golden Globes. The anti-hero movie also got nominations at the WGA, PGA and DGA. Hoping to get nominated at this year's Oscars, Reynolds took to Twitter on Thursday, January 12 to share a brief "For Your Consideration" video for his movie.
Featuring a montage of scenes from the movie, the new consideration video had Reynolds narrating a list of the movie's achievements in a funny way. "600lbs of chimichangas," he began. "4 pair of a**less chaps, 12 humiliating on a casting couch," the Canadian actor continued, "117 script pages, 465 ad libs," adding, "42 rejection letters from Fox."
