  I’d just like to add that Adam Sandler was incredible in Uncut Gems as well.

      Nominated, won, and gave one of the best acceptance speeches of all time.

  Many actors feel comedy is harder in general, making the transition to drama much easier than the other way around.

  I mean, it’s very likely just because it’s not what they want to do. Especially actors like Ferrell and Sandler, it’s not like they’re struggling to get work. They can do whatever They want. They just do the silly comedies.

  Then look at actors like Steve Carell and Bryan Cranston. Both amazing comedians as well, but also taking up a good share of more dramatic, even grim roles (and nailing those, too, btw). Just because an actor is good at the more dramatic works doesn’t mean it’s what they want to do.

    This kind of thoughtful comment is why Lemmy is great and Reddit sucks
