We are excited to announce that @amyschumer will be honored at this year’s #Britannias! pic.twitter.com/YJ0tRtNfEQ

It’s already been a banner year for Schumer and we guess we have to make that banner a little bit bigger.

Amy Schumer is set to join the esteemed group of Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Sacha Baron Cohen, Matt Stone & Trey Parker, Ben Stiller, and Betty White for winning the British Academy for Film and Television Awards/BAFTA’s Charlie Chaplin Award for Excellence in Comedy.

We’ll be curious to see what Amy has in store for 2016 that might possibly top her 2015.

BAFTA LA are set to make a pretty good line of recipients for their Charlie Chaplin Britannia Award for Excellence in Comedy. Last year, Sacha Baron Cohen was honored with the distinction and it was just announced today that the one and only Julia Louis-Dreyfus will be the next in line to get the award.

If you’re not already watching Veep, hopefully this is another very forceful nudge in encouraging you to do so.

Stephen Fry To Return As Host For BAFTA Film Awards

It will be Stephen Fry’s 9th time hosting the prestigious British awards ceremony, which is a feat that we thought no one would get to in this current era of awards presentations because people on Twitter demean whoever happens to be hosting, no matter if they’re actually good or not.

Sacha Baron Cohen To Receive Charlie Chaplin Britannia Award From BAFTA/LA

The British Academy of Film and Television Arts in Los Angeles is bestowing their highest honor in comedy to none other Sacha Baron Cohen.

As Cohen is definitely a star of this latest era of comedy, you might be tempted to think such a distinction might be a little premature, but do realize that Ali G was on the air 15 years ago.

So, booyakasha.
