James Corden will get the actor award.

I'm thoroughly underwhelmed by the nominations so far this year.

Here's the complete list....

Me too, I was by last years too so wasn't that fussed that I couldn't see it.

Like everybody knows though, everyone gets their chance at the Comedy Awards so whoever hasn't won before will probably win on the 6th Dec.

QI for best comedy panel show! (I think that's a new award.)

Based on ours if it is! Copycats. Angry

Do have awards then?

Yes.

At least they don't have the award for "Worst Panel Game". We've still got that.

I hope Ricky Gervais will attend, he's been the best thing about the comedy awards since 2001 (obviously apart from Jonathan Ross), although I don't think he's attended for the last two years.

According to The Guardian, Lee Mack is a current front runner for host.
