The British Comedy Award Nominations 2009

My mum always told me to go for a man with a sense of humour rather than drop dead gorgeous looks… and whilst I’m holding out to find a man with equal amounts of both, I’m hoping to cash in at the British Comedy Awards 2009.

Whilst I still actually have to find a way into the awards (and find a dress worthy of bagging myself Jimmy Carr) I am excited to hear that Alan Carr and Michael McIntyre have both got three nominations each, and will battle it out to win both Best Comedy Entertainment Personality and Best Entertainment Programme. Oooh!

Other nominations include our new celeb best mate and Inbetweeners’ star, Simon Bird, for Best Television Comedy Actor, all three kids from Outnumbered (I LOVE them!) for Best Newcomer and Ruth Jones for Best Television Comedy Actress.

In case I don’t get a ticket, or if I do and you’re sat at home in your dressing gown with a bottle of Blossom Hill, the entire shebang will  be shown on ITV1 and ITV2 on Saturday 12 December.
