Actress Leslie Mann has called for more strong, funny females in comedy films.
Speaking at the premiere of her latest romantic comedy film, How To Be Single, she also said comedies did not have a fair chance of winning awards.
“I love watching women in strong comedies and I think it’s ridiculous that we don’t have any comedy categories – and the one category we do get always goes to a drama,” she said.
The film, based on Liz Tuccillo’s novel of the same name, is led by four female characters who are learning how to be single in a world where the definition of love is always changing.
The film stars comedian Rebel Wilson, 35, as a fun-loving singleton called Robin, who teaches her newly single colleague Alice, played by Dakota Johnson, how to be single. Leslie, 43, stars alongside them as Alice’s older sister, Meg, who’s worried she’ll lose her independence if she falls in love.
Rebel said she agreed with Leslie when it comes to awards season.
