Meh, there are plenty of examples of "dramedy" making a splash at the awards. It's hard to take Airplane! seriously as an Oscar film. Fun, yes, but slapstick comedies aren't going to get a nomination unless they are simultaneously trying to say something important thematically or have interesting character arcs.
I could almost get behind a Bridesmaids nomination for some of the themes in that film, but it would be a stretch.
