2008 ECNY AWARDS NOMINATIONS NOW OPEN
AWARDS TO CELEBRATE THE COMEDIC PERFORMING ARTS IN NEW YORK CITY
New York, Nov. 18, 2008 – The ECNY Awards, New York's original comedy
awards are now open for nominations at ECNYAwards.com. Nominations
will be accepted until Midnight on December 19, 2008. Nominees will be
announced in February, 2009 and winners will be announced at the 2008
ECNY Awards ceremony, held March 9, 2009, at 8:00pm; at Comix NY; 353
West 14th St. The ceremony will be hosted for the second year in a row
by Jon Friedman.
"Last year, the ECNY Awards returned to the comedy scene as a
resounding success," said ECNY producer Alex Goldberg. "In the
intervening year, our winners have exploded on the national comedy
scene; and now, it's your chance to choose who from New York will
explode next. What, too soon?"
Groups or individuals are eligible for nomination in fourteen
different categories: Best Female Standup Comedian; Best Host; Best
Improv Group; Best Male Standup Comedian; Best Musical Comedy Act
(Solo or Group); Best One Person Show; Best Sketch Comedy Group; Best
Technician; Best Variety Show; Emerging Comic Award; Outstanding
Achievement in Flyer or Postcard Design; Best Website; and Best
Performance in a Commercial or Episode of Law & Order.

in New York from November, 2007, to November, 2008.

In addition, The ECNYs will be giving out a Lifetime Achievement Award
to one comedian/group/institution who has done the most over the
course of his/her/their/its lifetime for the perpetuation and growth
of New York comedy. This category will not be open for nomination.
Last year's winner was Eddie Brill (The Late Show With David
Letterman).
The Awards, a mainstay of the New York comedy scene, returned in 2007
with a completely revamped production team, after an almost two year
hiatus. After a sold out ceremony in January of this year, The ECNYs
