The comedy community has has spoken and we now have the nominees for the 2012 Comedy Awards.

Many of the names aren't much of a surprise as some of the biggest players in TV and film pulled in noms including Modern Family, Louie, 30 Rock, Parks & Recreation, Bridesmaids, and The Artist. There's also a few new categories this year including Stand-Up Tour and Club Comic. Both categories have a lot of talent nominated and might prove to be the most interesting part of the night as we watch everyone from John Mulaney, Amy Schumer, Hanibal Buress, and Kumail Nanjiani duke it out for stand-up supremacy.
