The Oscars and comedy do not always get along, in fact, it's safe to say that the Oscars have a habit of merely tolerating comedy in the same way you tolerate that friend you can't stand that's friends with all of your other friends. Sure, you may be seen in the same company as them from time to time, but you keep your distance from them, if you can help it. The same can be said with the Academy recognizing films and performances with comedic roots.
