'465 Ad Libs, two nerds, seven magical unicorns': Ryan Reynolds tweets cheeky highlight reel video urging Oscar recognition for Deadpool
Deadpool was completely shut out at the Golden Globes last weekend.
But star Ryan Reynolds is not giving up on garnering a possible Oscar nomination for the brash action comedy.
The 40-year-old Vancouver native tweeted out a highlight reel-style video on Thursday urging the Academy to consider Deadpool for an Oscar.
Last ditch effort? Ryan Reynolds, 40, tweeted out a highlight reel-style video on Thursday urging the Academy to consider Deadpool for an Oscar
The clip begins with a silhouette of the foul-mouthed hero, with '600 lbs of chimichangas' emblazoned in gold lettering along the bottom, referring of course to his favorite food item and one of his catch-phrases.
Next, Deadpool appears to be readying for battle by removing his swords, only for the camera to focus on his behind as '4 pairs of a**less chaps' flashes on screen.
Now infamous, Wade's unconventional sex scene, with his girlfriend Vanessa positioned behind him, follows, with the caption '12 humiliating minutes' accompanied by the qualifier 'on a casting couch' in voice-over.
The pace then picks up a bit, as several more pedestrian stats are rattled off over some action scenes, including '117 script pages, 465 Ad Libs, two nerds, seven magical unicorns.'

Similar to the film itself, the advert then turns back to humour, stating, 'three good walls, and a fourth that's broken.'
The somewhat cryptic statement refers to the invisible, imagined wall between performers and the audience, and is set over the scene when the fourth wall is broken during the film by Deadpool addressing the viewer.
Several more stats then flash before ending with Deadpool skewering one of his enemies as the voice-over murmurs 'for you consideration.'

While obviously a persuasive piece, many critics don't consider Deadpool an actual contender for an Oscar, despite its impressive performance and reception.
The movie made for $58 million budget made $783 million worldwide and catapulted Reynolds back to the top of Hollywood's A-list.
It was nominated for two Golden Globes at Sunday night's awards show in Beverly Hills: For Best Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy and for Ryan, Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy.
The sequel is slated to film this year for a 2018 release.
Quite an appeal: Several more stats then flash before ending with Deadpool skewering one of his enemies as the voice-over murmurs 'for you consideration'
