Judd wants the Oscars to have a Comedy Category

This is a horrible idea. The only reason he wants that is because it's the only way he would get an Oscar. I think it would be a joke. Now, I agree that comedies do get overlooked. But adding the new category is a joke. That means that 4 or 5 comedies will get nominated, meaning that most of them will be movies that have no business being called an oscar nominated movie. I like The Hangover, but does it deserve an Oscar nom, hell no. Just look at the animated category. You basically give it to Pixar or Dreamworks every time. A lot of smaller animated movies don't stand a chance. So even if you had a category for best comedy, most of these indie comedies wouldn't stand a chance going up against bigger comedies. It's a horrible idea. Apatow just wants his movies to have a chance at an Oscar because he produces so many comedies.

I'm a huge fan of comedy. I think it doesn't get it due, but I don't want to see this happen.
