Which 'Bridesmaids' star received an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress for her work in the hit 2011 comedy?
Answer Melissa McCarthy
It's a rare feat to get an Oscar nod for comedy, but the Academy couldn't resist McCarthy's no-nonsense sister of the groom. The Groundlings-trained comedian, writer, producer, and fashion designer also co-starred in TV's 'Mike and Molly', for which she won two Emmys. In 2018, she scored her second Oscar nomination, for 2018's 'Can You Ever Forgive Me?' While it's also a comedy, it features significantly less swearing and bodily fluids than the movie that made McCarthy a star.
