[CBS News] Despite expanding the field in Best Picture to 10 for the first time this year, not a single comedy made the list. (500) Days of Summer and The Hangover have both gotten their critical acclaim nationwide, the latter even picked up a Golden Globe. But the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences who nominate the films each year for the Oscars apparently still hate laughing.

We shouldn’t be surprised when our favorite films don’t make a dent on the list each year. The Dark Knight, besides being one of the highest grossing films ever (not to mention extremely badass), was snubbed big time last year and this year similar blockbusters including Star Trek, Where the Wild Things Are, and Public Enemies. Heck, Mr. Oscar himself Clint Eastwood didn’t even get a nod this year for his film Invictus. I guess that’ll be the last time he makes a movie without Hillary Swank.

This is not to say that all the films on this year’s Best Picture list aren’t great films. Hurt Locker (pictured above) is probably one of the most intense movies in years and Avatar has redefined what it means to make a Sci-Fi flick. But we’re still a little upset that we won’t get the chance to see Zach Galifianakis make an acceptance speech this year. That would have been pretty epic.
