Is it too early to pitch 2025 Oscars hosts?

Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez, who star in Hulu’s “Only Murders in the Building,” presented the first award of the night. Not only did the bit draw laughs from the audience, but it got many suggesting the trio host the Oscars together.

If a show makes you laugh, does it count as a comedy?“The Bear” became the most nominated comedy in Emmy history this year, but many viewers felt the show doesn’t fit the category and should be classified as a drama instead.

Every time I think about The Bear being in the comedy category for the Emmys I can feel an ulcer developing.

I really, really, *really* need the Television Academy to fix the category criteria before next year’s #Emmys because ‘The Bear’ sweeping comedy over shows like ‘Abbott Elementary’ is actually infuriating. All those actors and actual comedies deserve better.

When Veep won everything (and deservedly so) I know it annoyed people but it was a full blown comedy. THE BEAR IS NOT A COMEDY pic.twitter.com/v7R97qnaUP
