The "Deadpool" star joked that there were still a few hours left to conduct a write-in campaign for "an ineligible movie."

"Deadpool" may have scored the biggest opening weekend in February box office history and become the highest-grossing film in the X-Men franchise, but star Ryan Reynolds has his eyes on another prize: the Oscars.

On Twitter, Reynolds joked that there were still a few hours left to conduct a write-in campaign for "an ineligible movie." His Tweet included a graphic with a whole bunch of fake accolades for the film, like "Best 'Leaked' Footage" and "Winner 4 Golden Girls."

Only a few hours left for Oscar voting. Too late for a write-in campaign for an ineligible movie? pic.twitter.com/kR4nrRrULv- Ryan Reynolds (@VancityReynolds) February 23, 2016

Directed by Tim Miller, "Deadpool" stars Ryan Reynolds, T.J. Miller, Morena Baccarin and Gina Carano. The film is now in theaters.
