"I know what you guys are whispering."
Ryan Reynolds, an avowed fan of the film, took up the topic in his introduction to the film's final award.
"The man missed the premiere of his own film so he could attend the birth of his fifth child," Reynolds said.
"I barely made it to the inception of my own children."
