Aside from the fact that it was one of the highest grossing rated R films of all time and aside from the fact that Deadpool virtually changed comic book movies forever, the movie happened to be quite good.

Is it so far fetched for a movie like this to be nominated? Most would say yes but it’s not like comedies haven’t been nominated or even won awards before.
When you get down to it, the film took risks, broke new ground, and was a thoroughly enjoyable movie. But alas, the Academy isn’t having any of that, at least not yet.
