FERRELL CALLS ON ACADEMY FOR COMEDY OSCAR

Funnyman WILL FERRELL has called on the Academy Of Motion Picture Arts And Sciences to create an Oscar for Best Comedy Performance. The ANCHORMAN star insists comedic actors are more talented than 'serious' stars, and should be recognised for their skills by award bosses. He says, "I think it's a bit of a cop-out though. They really should just open up and consider comedic performances. "I don't know why there have to be separate categories. I think you can look at comic performances and think about a dramatic actor doing the same thing. They wouldn't be able to do it."
