Big Eyes
Comedy or Musical
A biographical movie about a man taking advantage of his wife is so funny.IMDB Page for Big Eyes wrote:A drama about the awakening of the painter Margaret Keane, her phenomenal success in the 1950s, and the subsequent legal difficulties she had with her husband, who claimed credit for her works in the 1960s.
I definitely get Birdman being considered a dark comedy, but wow, Tim Burton's directing doesn't automatically make Big Eyes a comedy.
If Adams was nominated for drama though nobody would think twice of her though because it was such a hard category this year. Still, the drama-bias is strong, which is a huge shame, considering that Globes is the only awards show that actually bothers to remember comedies. Besides audience choice-type awards shows, this was really the only big chance the Into the Woods had for an actor's award. I doubt Streep will win an Oscar, considering that she's already won so much and ItW is a comedy-fantasy-musical being lumped in with the Oscarbait drama hard-hitters. I was more impressed by Emily Blunt anyways, since I wasn't expecting as much from her. She really deserved this one.
