Read original comment ↗This is incredibly flawed in many respects. It’s not comparing actors, but the movies they starred in with different metrics for success. Those do not correlate. A mediocre actor featuring in Oscar-bait will fare better than a great actor who only works on low budget independent productions. > In general, critics seem to have a bias against comedy films. Rather, this article is very US-centric and those comedies are largely generic, unfunny, low effort movies of talking heads. [VIDEO]
