Usually, comedies don't do well when it comes to winning Academy Awards. The last comedy that won in some relevant category was Life is Beautiful back in 1999, and it's probably because it was a sort-of-comedy about the Holocaust. Now, Benigni did something for which an huge set of balls is required, and he did it well, thus he deserves his victory, but it's no mystery that the Holocaust is usually Oscar bait - you know what I'm trying to say. Could a "normal" comedy, post-Life is Beautiful, become the Best Picture or have the Best Actor/Actress? Tropic Thunder got kinda close, for being a comedy...
