Amy Poehler expresses her disapproval of the Oscars. She feels that the comedy genre, in which she frequently stars in films and television series, does not receive the “deserved” Oscar attention.
She expressed her opinions when Olivia Colman made an appearance as a guest to promote her new film, The Roses, on her podcast, Good Hang with Amy.
They talked about comedy, a topic in which they both have a good deal of experience.
Olivia quotes Benedict Cumberbatch as saying, “You can do anything if you can do comedy.” I firmly think that.
Amy responds by criticizing the Academy Awards for generally disregarding comedic films.
