How come oscars don't recognize comedy actors? Not only

Serious actors don't like to admit that being genuinely funny is really fucking hard

I think it's harder to act down than it is to act up. No one expects people who made a living acting like retards to have a serious bone in their body. Different story if you're a respected actor with actual gravitas. The only person I can think of that's done that while still maintaining a certain level of respect is Patrick Stewart.

Will Ferrell and Adam Sandler are terrible

Who is Steve Carrell for 2000 Alex? Mother fucker was a comedic actor then pulls foxcatcher out of nowhere.

That's "acting up" though. He was famous for playing retards.

even Sandler has done funny stuff, Ferrell has got nothing to showcase - the man is a terrible comedian

Jeff Daniels?

I didn't mean what I said as a challenge at all, but yeah I'd say Daniels is definitely another one. I was thinking John Turturro too but I'm not exactly familiar with his earliest work.

Michael Keaton came close.
