Oscar-Worthy Comedic Performances That Never Got Nominated

Comedic performances tend to be looked down on; when comedy actors jump into dramatic roles, it can be seen as a massive step-up, whereas dramatic actors jumping into comic roles is seen as a step-down. The same can even be said for comedy movies: serious themes can seem trivial or drowned out in a comedic setting. As a result, many incredible performances get missed by the Academy despite the actors doing a great job.
