‘On Becoming a God in Central Florida’ Ruled Drama, Not Comedy, by TV Academy (EXCLUSIVE)

, who had been considered one of the top front runners to earn a nomination in the outstanding comedy actress category, will now have to compete in the drama actress race. The show’s other performers, writers, directors and various crew members will also have to now submit in their respective drama categories, while the show itself now moves to drama contention.

But the Academy’s decision to not to allow “On Becoming a God” to compete in comedy surprised insiders, who noted that Showtime markets the series as a dark comedy. Earlier this year, Dunst was nominated by the Golden Globes for best performance by an actress in a musical or comedy TV series. She was also nominated for best actress in a comedy series by the Critics Choice Awards.

It’s believed that both Showtime and the show creators appealed the decision, but were told by the Academy that its decision was final. The debate over how the Television Academy should handle hybrid shows — series that can’t necessarily be categorized just as “comedy” or “drama” — has raged for years. Hour-long series like “Ally McBeal” and “Desperate Housewives” were being submitted as comedies, and by early this decade, the confusion was cemented. Showtime’s “Shameless” switched from drama to comedy, and started landing nominations for star William H. Macy.

No way. This is a pure dark comedy. My laugh jar was way more filled with marbles than my tear jar.

well kristen can forget the nomination then
