Amy Poehler<\/strong> isn\u2019t holding back when it comes to the Academy Awards. The Emmy-winning star and comedy powerhouse used her platform to call out the Oscars<\/strong> for continuously sidelining comedies, a trend she believes has gone on for far too long.<\/p>\n On her podcast Good Hang, Poehler sat down with Olivia Colman, who was promoting her new comedy, The Roses. <\/strong>The episode also featured a brief chat with Benedict Cumberbatch, Colman\u2019s co-star. During the conversation, Cumberbatch praised comedians, saying, \u201cIf you can do comedy, you can do anything.\u201d<\/p>\n Amy Poehler quickly agreed, before slamming the Oscars for its infamous comedy snub: \u201cEvery single year at the Oscars, everybody [in comedy] gets blanked and all the serious people get up and accept and accept. It\u2019s some hot b******t! Because comedy is not easy.\u201d<\/p>\n You can watch Amy Poehler\u2019s podcast below:<\/p>\n The Parks and Recreation alum has long been considered one of comedy\u2019s biggest champions, with decades of work on SNL, multiple Golden Globe hosting gigs alongside Tina Fey, and critically praised performances. Her comments echo a frustration many in Hollywood share\u2014that the Oscars consistently overlook comedic brilliance in favor of heavy dramas.<\/p>\n Although recent Best Picture winners like Everything Everywhere All at Once and Anora had strong comedic elements, straightforward comedies rarely get the same recognition. The 2025 awards race looks no different. Dramatic-leaning comedies like Yorgos Lanthimos\u2019 Bugonia and Noah Baumbach\u2019s Jay Kelly are generating early Oscar buzz. Meanwhile, traditional comedies such as Friendship, Good Fortune, and The Naked Gun are seen as long shots. Even Johnson\u2019s upcoming Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery faces an uphill climb in breaking into the top categories.<\/p>\n By publicly calling out the Oscars, Poehler has reignited the debate about comedy\u2019s place in Hollywood\u2019s most prestigious awards ceremony.<\/p>\n Originally reported by Devanshi Basu on <\/em>Mandatory.com<\/em><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n The post Amy Poehler Calls Out Oscars For Overlooking Comedy: \u2018That\u2019s Some Hot B******t\u2019<\/a> appeared first on Reality Tea<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Amy Poehler isn\u2019t holding back when it comes to the Academy Awards.
