collegehumor's jake and amir will present the webby awards nominees
This is a big morning for the web. Before most of us put on the coffee or consumed any part of a complete breakfast, CollegeHumor's famed comedy duo Jake and Amir announced this year's Webby Awards nominees. Much like the internet's most important awards, The Urlies, The Webbys honor a judge's choice and a People's Voice in several website and video categories.

That's where you come in, Internet. Your votes put the "people" in People's Voice Award. So, get ready to meet your nominees and consider them carefully before voting. We'll be paying special attention to the awards for things like Viral Video and Video Remixes/Mashups, because LOL, but the Webbys also encompass serious sites about topics like health and politics.

After the jump, we present the nominees for our favorite categories. And in case I haven't said "vote" enough already, here's the link to vote.
