    I know it was discussed last year, but classifying The Bear as a comedy is a bit unfair. While the show certainly has its comedic moments, that shit is a stressful drama 90% of the time. I accept that awards are always bonkers, and comparing art and performances is not ever “fair.” It just seems insincere to put yourself in the same category as a show like What we do in the Shadows or Abbott Elementary when it seems to clearly belong in competition with shows like Shogun or Mr and Mrs Smith.

    I don’t think you can compare the acting of Jeremy Allen White in a serious show about the life of a chef to that of Matt Berry who is pretending to be a horny vampire and occasional girls volleyball sponsor/humble neighborhood bartender from Tucson Arizonia. Jackie Daytona was robbed, and I will die on this hill.

    How is Fallout a drama and not a comedy? How is this classification decided?
