Michael Richards in this movie is incredible, how did he not get an Oscar for his role?

Comedy roles rarely get recognized in the Oscars.

It's funny how Mike was once in favor of "looking the potata of injustice right in the eye." Now he IS that potata!...plus, he's more retarded in real life than as Stanley Spadowski. The times, they have a-changed.

How does "rarely" = never?

Little Miss Sunshine was a Daram-edy, that's why it was nominated. Either you have to make a Drama or a Dram-edy to get recognized at the Oscars. I, personally, hate the Oscars....big waste of time....

Good point. Also: Muldernscully said that a comedic performance RARELY gets a nomination, which is a bit different than 'NEVER'.
