Why comedy movies are generally ignored at the Academy Awards

Why? Humor me please.

We know that comedy films are laughed off compared to drama at the Academy Awards. Maybe the few exceptions to the rule like Annie Hall.

It's because the Oscars are meant to give films and filmmakers a serious work persona. To quote, "We take our comedy making seriously." -Someone probably famous.

The universal ignore button on comedy is downright outrageous­. Comedy is the yin to the drama yang. The truth is that comedy is hard to write if not as hard, or even harder to write than drama. Who can laugh at their own mistakes with an observant eye and turn that into gold? I'm not saying that drama is easy. But it is tougher to find a large portion of people to laugh at the same thing in this subjective art form.

Screenplay comedies are generally ignored. The Best Film comedies are ignored also.

OK, what is worse is when you ask someone their favorite movie and they say a horrible comedy movie. Maybe it was decent but to watch it again and again? Forgettabl­e films all around if you ask me.

But there are real gems out there. The reason for this is article is that there needs to be more out of the studio influence on what is funny. If you have funny stories, why aren't you writing them? I urge you to take charge of thisand go out there and write it.
