Leading with five nominations each were the films Bridesmaids by Paul Feig and Crazy, Stupid, Love by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa. Each received nominations for Best Comedy Film, Director and Screenplay plus two acting mentions.
Competing with them for Best Comedy Film will be Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris, Seth Gordon's Horrible Bosses and the Oscar-winning The Artist by Michel Hazanavicius. But while Allen and Hazanavicius also picked up the Best Comedy Director nod, Gordon was passed over in favour of James Bobin who directed The Muppets.
For television, Modern Family and 30 Rock also led with five nominations. Both were nominated for Best Comedy Series, Directing, Actor, Actress and Writing.
Louis C.K. received five nominations by himself. He got three for his series Louie (Performance by an Actor in a Comedy Series, Sketch/Alternative Comedy Series and Comedy Writing), another for his special Louis C.K.: Live at the Beacon Theater and yet another for Best Stand-Up Tour. In addition, Louie picked up a nomination for Directing.
The recipients for the “Johnny Carson Award,” the “Comedy Icon Award” and The Comedy Awards Digital / Best Viral Original nominees will be announced in the coming weeks.
