But comedy is hard to break though......ironically, wasn't last years best pic winner the Artist considered a silent comedy?
Yup. Really good point. The Academy has a weird love for highly dramatic movies and history movies. Even when we're talking about Best Screenplay, you don't see scripts like 50/50 or Knocked Up in the conversation. Shame, because good, natural dialogue and character development is hard to do.
