“Bridesmaids.”
(Suzanne Hanover - Universal Studios)
The nominations for the second Comedy Awards are in.
Yes, although you may have thought awards season ends with the Oscars, basic cable channel Comedy Central has created another opportunity to shower praise on the year’s funny films and TV shows that perhaps didn’t get as much attention as they deserved at the Academy Awards, Golden Globes or Emmys.
Tina Fey put it another way when she spoke at last year’s Comedy Awards: “All awards show are [expletive] made-up clubs that people start to give each other prizes. I want to thank Comedy Central for realizing we could do that.”
Oscar winner “The Artist” and other best picture nominees “Bridesmaids” and “Midnight in Paris” are up for best film, as are “Crazy, Stupid, Love” and “Horrible Bosses.”
Usual suspects “30 Rock” and “Modern Family” are joined in the best TV show category by “Parks and Recreation,” “Happy Endings” and
“Curb Your Enthusiasm.”
(Even at the Comedy Awards, “Community” can’t get any love. Meanwhile, Cameron Diaz is nominated for her role in “Bad Teacher.” It’s a crazy world we live in.)
The nominations are selected by a 32-member board, which includes Carol Burnett, Conan O’Brien, Chris Rock and Lily Tomlin.
