Frankly, drama is probably one of the easier genres out there to successfully execute compared to creating great comedy, or following great action, etc. And the disrespectful view of animation is a story all to itself. But for an "oscar-worthy" drama, just do some crap like make a character sick, watch their loved ones go through the agony of seeing their friend/husband/wife/family member slowly die, everyone cries, have a bunch of tormented dialogue screamed passionately along the lines of "you don't know what it's like!", blah blah blah.

Yeah, or like a horror where Satan takes over all the religious peoples minds and there's, like, all these warning, flashing, train-wreck, red(whistling winky) signs, but, like, every is soooo compelled with the devil's pie that they don't see it. ay, ay, I mean COMEDY because it was all so funny at one time. ooops.
That'd never win anything.
