  1. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood was not a musical and nowhere near the best comedy of the year. You have to wonder how it qualified for this category? Or maybe there should be a category for the people we want to give an award, but know their film won’t win in another category. The only problem there is the battle between Once Upon a Time and Irishman would have forced a hard decision on the voters. That is the reason the musical/comedy category was created. No hard decisions.
