When Scarlett Johansson was announced as the winner of best actress at the Tony Awards she first got up and kissed her co-star Liev Schreiber on the cheek, and then turned around and kissed her husband Ryan Reynolds, also on the cheek, as if it were an afterthought. (That video is above.) Then in her speech she eventually thanked her husband after thanking the theater community, her co-workers and family. Ryan looked pleased at the mention, but it sounded like he came last after everyone else she could think of. (That’s at 2:25 in the video above.) According to sources quoted in the National Enquirer, Ryan found Scarlett’s gratitude lacking. They could be basing this story solely on her behavior at the Tony’s, but either way it doesn’t look like she has a solid relationship with Ryan.

[Ryan Reynolds] is furious, complaining that his beautiful wife cares more about her career – and her co-star – than their marriage.

“Ryan is fuming that Scarlett blew him off so flagrantly,” a Broadway insider told The Enquirer.

“When she gave Liev a big wet kiss on national TV, it made Ryan sick.”

Scarlett – who won the award for her acclaimed role in Broadway’s “A View from the Bridge” – leapt to her feel when her name was announced.

She immediately kissed Liev – but didn’t even look in Ryan’s direction before heading toward the stage. The 25 year-old-actress eventually realized her slight, and made a hasty dash back to give Ryan a quick peck.

She then proceeded to offer a backhanded compliment to her 33-year-old husband, telling the audience: “To my Canadian, whom I live with. Ryan, thank you for becoming a theater widower for me.”

Ryan had attended the June 13 event in an attempt to quell rumors that the couple’s marriage – after only a year and eight months – is on the rocks, says the source.

“That kiss to Liev was the ultimate insult. Scarlett celebrated her win as if Ryan was invisible.”

Ryan tore into Scarlett later that night, and Scarlett accused him of ruining her special night, according to the source. There’s been tension between them ever since.

Yesterday we heard Scarlett graciously defend herself from people criticizing her Tony win so early in her Broadway career. She claimed that she understood why people found her undeserving and that she “knows what it’s like to struggle as an actor.” That’s arguable considering that she got her start on film before she was teenager, but uncertainty is part of any actor’s career I guess.

The question now is whether Scarlett’s relationship with Ryan is suffering. We’ve heard this about them before – that Scarlett and Ryan are spending too much time away from each other working, and are “growing apart” and “arguing about scheduling.” There are rumors that they’re renewing their vows on their second wedding anniversary, though, and are planning to adopt a baby from Ethiopia. I think they’re in it for the long haul, but we’ll see. If they do adopt a baby they’ll have a lot of changes to work around.
