Here is a list of comedic performances that went on to get nominated or win an Academy Award for acting.
Strangelove would be on this list. For his lead role, Peter Sellers was nominated for Best Actor. Goldie Hawn received a nomination for Best Actress in for her role as Judy Benjamin, a woman in her late 20s who joins the U. Army after her husband dies during sex on their wedding night. You know, that familiar tale.
What Cohen did was original and extremely risky — artistically risky, sure he played a broad, ugly stereotype to satirize broad, ugly stereotyping but also risky risky. He went out into the real world as Borat, and interacted with real people, improvising masterfully while making a thesis and moving the plot forward. Adams is one of the most versatile actresses in Hollywood. The part of Giselle is a tall order. Segel also co-wrote the screenplay for this Nicholas Stoller—directed relationship comedy, and he was not afraid to write from experience or look bad on screen.
Forgetting Sarah Marshall is the story of a breakup in which Segel resists the temptation of either making the ex Kristen Bell look like the percent-at-fault monster or treating his own character as a lovable innocent.
Peter is kind of a loser, and he mopes around as an unbearable sad sack until a nice vacation and some nicer strangers help him out of it. Along the way he bares both his body as in full frontal nudity and soul he performs a Dracula puppet musical.
Nonsexual nudity and a musical number? Easy A arrived in and immediately stood out as one of the most innovative, original teen movies in years. It drew from the hand-wringing slog that is The Scarlet Letter and made it fun, with a lot help from Emma Stone in a breakout performance that could just as easily have won her a prize as her work in La La Land.
It takes skill to keep an audience engaged in a movie built around a wholly unlikable character, but Charlize Theron in a film written by Diablo Cody and directed by Jason Reitman pulls it off as Mavis, a bitter, arrogant, hard-drinking, and mean YA author who heads back to her Minnesota hometown to seduce her now-married-with-kids high-school boyfriend Patrick Wilson.
Theron is sardonic and funny, but she also conveys the pain and regret that make Mavis act the way she does. In a fact-based film directed by Richard Linklater, Jack Black plays to type — gregarious, open-armed — and simultaneously against it as likable gadabout Bernie Tiede, a mortician who befriends a small-town Texas widow named Marjorie Shirley MacLaine. He murders Marjorie, but then covers it up quite poorly, which is when the comedy comes in. Saving Mr. Banks recounts the story behind the making of the film Mary Poppins as a light, comical war between Walt Disney Tom Hanks and the author of the books that inspired the film, P.
Travers, who was adamantly opposed to the making of the film. You know what movie actually is hilarious? In Inside Out , Amy Poehler portrays the personification of an emotion — Joy — which is only possible through 1 comedy and 2 animation.
There has never been a movie like The Lobster and there has never been a character like Short Sighted Woman, as portrayed by Rachel Weisz. Since we all got addicted to our phones and social media about ten years ago, numerous films, TV shows, and social commentators have sought to smugly point out that we are all addicted to our phones and social media. Ingrid Goes West is about the only insightful entry in this trend.
In an updated-for-the-Instagram-age, pitch-black comic version of Single White Female , Aubrey Plaza stalks an influencer Elizabeth Olsen and insinuates herself into her life, wrecking both of their existences in the process. A sequel to a family film about a talking bear should not have been this good, but here we are — Paddington 2 nailed 99 percent on Rotten Tomatoes.
Every man becomes a better man, and even Brendan Gleeson, as imposing, immovable prison cook Knuckles, softens under the compassionate influence of the sweet bear.
Good, meaningful comedy appeals to our need to laugh — as opposed to films that make us rage, cry, or ponder what it all means. But they all have the same end in mind, to reveal some kind of truth, and a great comic performance can leave us at least a little bit changed, happier or more optimistic, even. And Brendan Gleeson as a man in a pink prison uniform whose soul is lightened by a cuddly bear and jam is that exactly.
