So the Academy Awards Nominations were announced today, and as per usual, comedies were ignored.
The biggest, although not surprising, slight is the absence of the comedies The Hangover, (500) Days of Summer, and It’s Complicated. This is why I have such trouble with the Oscars. As almost any actor will testify, comedy is much harder [...]

predominately known as a serious actress, though since 2006, she has dipped her toe in the comedy and musical fields with The Devil Wears [...]
