The 2008 ECNY Awards have unveiled their final list of nominees this year, but so far, you'll only find out if you register your email and get a ballot sent to you for voting. You'll have until the end of the month to submit a ballot. The awards has an "Industry Committe" which also gets an enhanced voice in the voting. Which means I should probably disclose right now that I was happy to see The Comic's Comic get a nomination, and also let you know that I have an Industry Committee vote. That said, let's share with you the good news on this year's slate of nominees! There are some interesting matchups and multiple nods here, including categories that feature repeat finalists, roommates vying for the same award, and in at least one case that I can gather, one performer up against themselves (kinda like Kate Winslet in the Golden Globes!). The full list, after the jump!
