It’s nice to see the Academy giving this look not only to a Black woman but also someone whose work is almost exclusively comedic. While I’ve seen Rudolph do more serious pieces, we know her for the funny. Comedy, likely the hardest thing to do well in entertainment, gets the short end of the stick when it comes to recognition. Hopefully, Rudolph will be able to use her voice to change this.
