Announcing The Comedy Award Nominees
We are proud to announce the nominees for the inaugural Comedy Awards, the award show dedicated to the very best in comedy.
It's a killer line-up this year, with beloved network stalwarts 30 Rock, The Office, and Modern Family up against cable favorites It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia and Eastbound & Down in TV, while Russell Brand leads a new British Invasion in the Best Actor In A Film category, against the lovable gang of Will Ferrell, Zach Galifianakis, Paul Giamatti, and his Get Him To The Greek co-star Jonah Hill.
You can have your say in The Comedy Awards by picking who you think should win in every category, but two special categories will be decided entirely by the fans. This year's Best Viral Web Video and one additional to be announced categories will be decided with your votes. You can nominate your favorite web videos now, and voting for both categories begins on February 28th. And don't forget to watch the event on April 10th on Comedy Central, Spike TV, TV Land, VH1, CMT and Nick At Nite.
For you completists out there, see the full roster of nominees right here or read the official press release.
