Wiig and Mumolo were rightfully nominated for a Best Original Screenplay Oscar for their work (via IMDb). More surprisingly, however, Melissa McCarthy was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her portrayal of the boisterous and utterly self-confident Megan.Īlthough Wiig and Maya Rudolph are ostensibly the leads of the film, McCarthy's performance is the one most fans come back to again and again. It broke the mold for actresses being gross onscreen (the horror!), while reiterating just how special female friendship is. The legacy of "Bridesmaids" is keenly felt by women all over the world. " Bridesmaids" turned 10 in 2021, and Paul Feig's boundary-breaking comedy movie, which was scripted by star Kristen Wiig and her longtime buddy Annie Mumolo - who memorably cameos as the nervous lady on their flight who had a dream with Wiig's Annie in it (via YouTube) - has not aged a day.
