Anna Kendrick didn't hesitate to poke fun at Ryan Reynolds during her victory speech at the 2018 Teen Choice Awards Sunday night.
Kendrick, 33, was named the Choice Comedy Movie Actress winner for “Pitch Perfect 3” — as well as Choice Twit (favorite Twitter personality) — at the ceremony, which was held at The Forum in Inglewood, California.
Kendrick made sure to boast about her big social media win when she got to the microphone.

“You guys, you guys, you guys!” she told the audience. “Did I just hear that I was named Choice Twitter? Oh my God!”
She then pivoted to thank fans for both awards.

“This means so much to me, thank you so much,” she shared. “It means the world to me and I feel so lucky that I get to make ‘Pitch Perfect.’”
“The Twitter thing - I have so much fun on Twitter, and I know that Mindy [Kaling] and Kumail [Nanjiani] and stuff were nominated, and also I know that Ryan Reynolds was nominated, so in your face, Ryan!" she joked.
The actress continued to tease Reynolds.

"Yeah! I beat you! Stay in your lane!” she exclaimed. “Thank you so much. I’m going to go now.”
Aside from Reynolds, Kaling and Nanjiani, Mark Hamill and Chrissy Teigen were also up for the honor.
It's not surprising Kendrick singled Reynolds out. A few weeks ago, Kendrick joined an Instagram exchange involving Reynolds and his wife Blake Lively.

Lively, 30, shared an Instagram photo on June 20 of two posters from her upcoming film “A Simple Favor." The movie posters showed Lively and Kendrick facing each other — each with a martini in hand.
“@annakendrick47 is the hotter, female(r) version of my husband... so, would it reaaaally count as cheating?? 🔪👗🍸🎀🖤,” Lively joked in the caption.

Kendrick weighed in on Lively's inquiry in the comments section.
“So glad we’re finally taking this public,” Kendrick commented on the post. “I let Ryan have Deadpool, he can give me this.”
The comedy bit got approval from Reynolds.

“The most ambitious crossover event in history,” Reynolds, 41, joked. “I’ll miss you both. Tell my story.”
Since it was published, Lively’s post has received more than 1 million likes and thousands of comments, including humorous responses from fans.
“THIS THO!! Loving this!!! @blakelively @annakendrick47@vancityreynolds,” one Instagram user commented.

Another wrote, “I never wanted to be famous before, however, I’m rethinking this just to be friends with the 3 of you. @vancityreynolds my 12 year old son idolizes you!”
“I live to watch Ryan and Blake troll each other,” one person added. “😂 throwing Anna in is a bonus!”
Reynolds and Lively got married in September 2012 and welcomed daughters James and Inez in 2014 and 2016, respectively.
