\n\tIs The Bear<\/em> a comedy or a drama? We may never know!<\/p>\n \n\tIn a recent interview with Vanity Fair, <\/em>Ayo Edebiri spoke about the ongoing debate on her hit show\u2019s genre, specifically whether The Bear <\/em>is considered a comedy or drama.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cMy feeling is that that is a question that is honestly above my pay grade. That\u2019s a question for the studios,\u201d Edebiri said. \u201cWe get asked a lot about it as actors and they don\u2019t ask the producer, so that\u2019s kind of my answer to that.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tWhile many of the series\u2019 viewers \u2014 and some of its castmembers \u2014 consider the show to be a drama, it\u2019s taken home awards for best comedy series at several award shows, including the 2024 Golden Globes and the 2024 Emmy Awards. There, The Bear <\/em>earned the title of the most-nominated comedy series in a single year with 23 nods. In 2023, Edebiri won an Emmy for best supporting actress in a comedy series.<\/p>\n \n\tOutside of acting, Edebiri has lent her talents to behind-the-camera work. The actress made her directorial debut for the episode Napkins <\/em>in season three.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cThe writing was just so beautiful. I remember reading it and seeing it in my mind, like really clearly,\u201d she told Vanity Fair.<\/em> \u201cThere was a real advantage because it was not only a standalone episode of a character that we hadn\u2019t really gotten to see, but it got to be outside of the restaurant. It got to be in the past, and then it also got to connect before the show had even started, but the feeling of the first season, I just felt like it was really gonna be fertile, visually. And that I was going to be able to do a little bit of my own thing.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tThe experience led her to realize that she loves to direct and hopes to make her feature directorial debut one day. \u201cI think I will eventually direct a feature. I know that I will, but I feel no real rush,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019m writing right now as well and that\u2019s its own process.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tThe show is nominated for best comedy series at the 2025 Emmy Awards. The ceremony takes place on Sept. 14.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Is The Bear a comedy or a drama? We may never know!
