Jim is gonna have to endure a
looooong wait before he is going to be taken seriously by the 'Academy'. ie other actors who judge whether a performance is worthy.
Tom Hanks was left in limbo for many years before 'Philadelphia'. Jim may have to go through the same.
Dont get me wrong - I hope he doesnt!!! I just hope he finally gets an award for something
really good - not just a consolation "Oh its time you got one" Al Pacino style Award.
Comedians are made to pay such a huge penance before they are accepted as an actual, serious Actor. He's already made many films that would otherwise be a shoe-in for the Oscars -
if they were done by 'real' actor, of course! Makes me mad and bitter.
I still cant fathom why comedy is considered such a low art?
I think other actors are just threatened...as its truly a gift. You either got it or you dont, baby!
