10. Amy Schumer, ‘Trainwreck’
The reigning queen of sketch comedy, Amy Schumer displayed some surprising depth this year with Trainwreck, her uproariously funny first feature film. While Judd Apatow took over directing duties, Schumer wrote and starred in the film, which takes the familiar tropes of romantic comedies and turns them on their ear with a ribald twist. Her performance was extremely capable, but it was the film’s script, which is both acidic and sweet, that truly shines. If she continues on this path, Schumer will undoubtedly earn her fair share of praise, but it’s a shame her writing achievement didn’t receive the Oscar attention it deserved.
