    1. > “Every single year at the Oscars, everybody [in comedy] gets blanked and all the serious people get up and accept and accept,” Poehler said. “It’s some hot bullshit! Because comedy is not easy. And I got to tell you, both you and Olivia can do both.”

    2. I agree it’s not easy, and that’s why 99% of comedies movies are forgettable. How would they stand a chance at the Oscars?

      I love you Amy, but there’s a big difference between the comedies of today and The Apartment

    4. Horror is harder than comedy stop it. Toni Collette shouldve been nominated for Hereditary at the bare minimum.

    5. If any comedic performance this year deserves an Oscar nomination, and I’m not kidding, it’s Pamela Anderson for the *Naked Gun* reboot.

       A comedy film can be amazing, but not the best film of the year or even in the top 10 films that year.

      The same way you can be great as the lead actress in a comedy film, but not one of the 5 best performances in film that year.

    7. Anora, Barbie, Banshees of Inisherin, Poor Things, and EEAAO are darlings by the Academy while also being comedy. While most of those can be dubbed as a Dramedy, that doesn’t remove the fact that they do have comedic elements or are just straight up meant to be funny. And I consider those more difficult to pull off since you need to be both a serious and comedic at times.
      As much as I do believe some comedies (maybe traditional comedies?) get overlooked, it isn’t like Comedies haven’t been nominated or even won in over a decade. If anything, I’d say Horror should be a genre reevaluated by the Academy since a lot of great films and roles get overlooked.

      If there was a plethora of great comedy being released right now that deserved award recognition I would agree with her but I can’t remember the last good comedy that came out. We are in a serious dry spell right now.

      Yet her and her friends stay in that comedy lane. You never see them move over to drama to flex their chops. I say this as someone whose favorite genre is comedy. Many of these actors were comedians first either through stand-up or sketch comedy.

    10. This is why the Oscar’s don’t mean anything to people who actually watch movies, comedy is 95% of movies we watch. So not watching the Oscar’s is normal, look how low the viewership was, ask anyone you know if they watched, NOBODY says they did.

      I think a good example of comedy not being easy is how a lot of dramatic actors don’t do great in comedic roles but comedic actors a lot of the time do amazing in dramatic roles.

      Oscars are unimportant. Just create a category for everyone and every genre.

      Plenty of dramas are forgotten too. Oscar’s is supposed to be for the best of the best. Comedies are not easy but some really breakthrough. What is she talking about? A real pain was nominated. Anora, coen brothers movie, Wes Anderson. Tv is a better format for comedy generally. Horror is the big oversight for awards show imo but it seems to be changing a little.
