Always has been but it always should have been Best Comedy. That's what I go by. There are great comedies that aren't super LOL hilarious. Lol, it was changed 3-4 years ago. And NO. Of course there are great comedies that aren't super hilarious. But this is NOT what the category is for. If it was for that, it would have still been named Best Comedy. _________________The greatest thing on earth is to love and to be loved in return!

Re: WOKJ Motion Picture Awards 2015 categories clarification I still regard it as Best Comedy.

Re: WOKJ Motion Picture Awards 2015 categories clarification And I am happy we are not the Golden Globes. Anyway, I consider cutting the category anyway (along with Best Horror) one day (mostly for the lack of good options in the latter yearly), so if you put really "funny" comedies such as Joy into it, that will certainly accelerate the process.  _________________The greatest thing on earth is to love and to be loved in return!

Except Joy isn't a comedy at all, so.... That was just category fraud at the Globes. So was The Martian even if it had some funny scenes.

Re: WOKJ Motion Picture Awards 2015 categories clarification You could just call the category "Funniest Movie", then we can include whatever film makes us laugh the most. What's funny to one isn't to another.

Re: WOKJ Motion Picture Awards 2015 categories clarification Crimson Peak is horror, obviously. The Gift is not (and I've not even seen it). It's a thriller, which is just considered as part of the rest (i.e. not a comedy or a horror).

Re: WOKJ Motion Picture Awards 2015 categories clarification I agree with Algren on both counts.
Though I must admit, I played with the comedy/horror categories a bit by nominating one film for both.
