(Although I’d love a deserving shock of Alex Karpovsky one year.) As for just-misses, the entire cast of “Silicon Valley” is good but doesn’t make the cut this year, and while I won’t be upset if the Academy takes the chance to recognize Keegan-Michael Key and/or Jordan Peele for the last year of “Key & Peele,” it was also the worst season of the show. Unlike a lot of categories below, I’m actually cool here with a lot of repeat nominees, including Tituss Burgess for Netflix’s “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” and the best thing about HBO’s “Girls”- Adam Driver. So there’s two out of six spots taken already. Of course, “Veep” is nothing without past winner Tony Hale. While Matt Walsh has been great this year, it’s been Timothy Simons’ season, as his Jonah Ryan has staged the most hilarious fictional campaign in TV history. To that end, let’s start with a few of the guys from HBO’s “Veep,” arguably the best comedy on TV. And so you’ll start to see trends in these first two categories, in which what I consider the best comedies of 2015-16 are well-represented. I used to say that a comedy is only as good as its worst actor. What are your favorite comedies? They’re likely ensemble pieces like “Cheers,” “Seinfeld,” “ Friends,” etc. While that may seem a little simplistic, it’s reflective of the way most of us approach comedy. For example, the years that “Modern Family” dominated, most of the cast popped up in the supporting actor and supporting actress categories. The supporting categories are often filled out in a way that reflects how the Academy feels about ensemble comedies.
