Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT It’s extremely rare for a comedy to take home the elusive Best Picture prize at the Academy Awards, although over the years there have been plenty of great comedies among the nominations.

With a fantastic screenplay by John Dighton and Dalton Trumbo, Trumbo’s name was famously removed from the credits due to being blacklisted by Hollywood for association with communism. 11 Tootsie Lost to Gandhi Dustin Hoffman pushed himself to the limit with a challenging lead role in Tootsie, a surprisingly moving comedy about an actor pretending to be a woman to gain a role in a daytime soap opera. While the 1980s was a much less progressive time than today when it came to representations of alternative gender expressions, Tootsie maintained a feminist message and was a tender portrayal of the discrimination women faced.

Director Sofia Coppola Release Date October 3, 2003 Cast Fumihiro Hayashi , Bill Murray , Anna Faris , Giovanni Ribisi , Scarlett Johansson , Catherine Lambert Runtime 102 minutes Bill Murray’s role as Bob Harris in Lost in Translation signaled the dawning of a new era in his career where, although most of his roles were comedic, they also contained an emotional resonance and tackled deep themes.

6 The Kids Are Alright Lost to The King's Speech A warm and funny comedy about alternative family dynamics, The Kids Are Alright explored the story of a lesbian couple, their two children, and the unknowing father who helped conceive them through artificial insemination.
