Another example, as long as I'm the only one who is going to come up with them. "Harvey" a play about a large invisible rabbit with a propensity to drink ... now there's some silliness for you .... won the Pulitzer Prize.
The film, which has more moments of extreme silliness than most people experience in one lifetime, also won several awards.
I haven't been able to find much official recognition of silliness in other cultures, so perhaps the appreciation of the cultural importance of silliness is limited to America ... which would explain why none of the Monty Python members have ever been knighted.
