Because the Academy thinks dressing down and having some kind of behavioral disorder (in this case, alcoholism) signifies serious acting, and this generally beats a performance that includes music or comedy, just because it has elements of frivolity.

It is ridiculous that Grace Kelly won that Oscar! I know some people will say she deserved it but how can anyone say that after seeing the performance Judy Garland gave in A Star Is Born... It blows my mind.
