Ryan Reynolds Is In A League Of His Own With Critics' Choice Speeches

Ryan Reynolds accepted EW’s Entertainer of the Year Award and best actor in a comedy in the most Ryan Reynolds way ever at the 2017 Critics’ Choice Awards.

The “Deadpool” actor delivered two speeches that were equal parts funny and heartfelt at Sunday’s award show.

“’Deadpool’ was an 11-year odyssey for me to get up here, and it resonated with a lot of people,” the actor said while accepting his EW award. “The character had cancer and some of the people that this character resonated with were sick kids. I would like to dedicate this honor to the Make-A-Wish Foundation and the SickKids Foundation of Toronto, two incredible organizations that do so much for so many kids in need.”

Reynolds added, “I would also like to dedicate this award to the memory of my friends Connor McGrath and Grace Bowen. They didn’t lose the battle, but they started a fight and it’s up to us to finish it.”

The actor finished his speech by joking about playing the “sex-positive superhero” earlier this year, and then gave a shoutout to his family.

“I also want to thank my wife and, for no reason at all, I suppose my children,” the 40-year-old said.

Later on in the night, Reynolds also received the Critics’ Choice Award for Best Actor in a Comedy for “Deadpool,” but admitted he hadn’t prepared a speech.

“I genuinely was not expecting this, I prepared nothing. So, I’m just going to focus on Tom Hanks,” the actor said. “No, really though, you’re a huge influence on me. My 2-year-old daughter — the first full sentence she ever said was, ‘There’s no crying in baseball.’ I’m not even kidding.”

After both speeches, one thing is for sure ― Ryan Reynolds is definitely in a league of his own.
