20 Best Movie Performances Of 2016

20. Ryan Reynolds - Deadpool

Though Ryan Reynolds won't be winning any Oscars for his portrayal of Wade Wilson aka Deadpool (though he did score a Best Actor in a Musical/Comedy nomination at the Golden Globes), it's pretty much impossible to imagine anyone else playing the part now thanks to his note-perfect rendition of the character.

It helps that Reynolds reportedly had a lot of creative input in the movie and was of course keen to redeem himself after representing Deadpool so horribly in X-Men Origins: Wolverine (and let's not forget about Green Lantern either).

Reynolds helped create an off-kilter superhero like nobody else out there, immensely self-deprecating and game to go places you'd never see more mainstream superheroes. He really is the hero we deserve.
