Do Comedies Win Oscars?

25 Feb

By: Open Book

There is nothing like a good comedy to help you forget about your troubles. It’s surprising how few comedies have won an Oscar for Best Picture in the last decade. In an effort to see what comedies have actually won an Oscar, required a little bit of digging.

Here we go!!

Academy Award Winning: Best Picture Comedies [1)

1999–American Beauty

1998–Shakespeare In Love

1994–Forest Gump

1989–Driving Miss Daisy

1977–Annie Hall

1975–One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest

1973–The Sting

1964–My Fair Lady

1963–Tom Jones

1960– The Apartment

1958–GiGi

1957– Around The World In Eighty Days

What is fascinating from this research? Over the last decade there’s not been one comedy to win an Oscar since 1999.[2] It seems ever since the recession fewer comedies are being produced in Hollywood.  Why is that?  Do people see fewer comedies when times are hard?  What are your favorite comedic films over the last decade (2000-2010) and why?
