Its awards season and the best is yet to come. Nominations for the second annual Comedy Awards on Comedy Central were just announced last week and the competition is fierce. The awards will be taped on Saturday, April 28 and will aired on Sunday, May 6.

This year the fans can vote for the category “Breakout Performer of The Year” and decide amongst Zooey Deschanel  (New Girl), Josh Gad (The Book of Mormon), Donald Glover (Stand-up), Melissa McCarthy (Bridesmaids) or Jason Sudeikis (Horrible Bosses).

The rest of the nominees were selected by the Board of Directors. Famous participants include Carol Burnett, Conan O’Brien, Joan Rivers, and Lily Tomlin. The winners will be selected by an invitation-only body of comedy writers, producers and directors.
