See the full list of nominees from Variety<\/a>.\r\n\r\nIt’s a Web-Based World\"Craig<\/a><\/strong><\/span>\r\nAfter ten years of being contractually obligated by CBS to not have his own website, Craig launched a new site<\/a> this week, along with accounts on YouTube<\/a>, Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> and a tour account on Twitter<\/a>. Run by Craig’s people, the site and new accounts will highlight Craig’s stand up comedy tour. The site had some difficulties at the start because so many people were trying to look at it after Craig’s tweets. But it is fully up and running now. We know the feeling… we’ve had our site slowed down by heavy traffic at times, and there’s not much that can be done except to wait and try again later. It’s a good sign that it’s so popular! Josh Robert Thompson<\/strong> has his own site<\/a> as well, with information about his work opening for Craig on the road. Meanwhile, we’ll continue to have our Live Comedy Tour<\/a> page, information about Craig’s stand up specials<\/a> and of course, news updates each week. It’s a worldwide web of Craigy goodness. Thanks to many hobos, including @colleen_byrne<\/strong>, @hoborobot<\/strong>, @bgrhubarb<\/strong> and more, for scouring the web for newsy items.\r\n\r\nLatest Tour Info<\/strong><\/span>\r\nSince last week’s update, Craig has added shows in New Haven, Connecticut; Nashville, Tennessee and a second show in Washington, DC. As always, the latest can be found on our Live Comedy Tour<\/a> page, including a couple of dates not yet posted on Craig’s site.\r\n\r\nLate Late Update<\/strong><\/span>\r\n\"James<\/a>Future Late Late Show host James Corden<\/strong> was featured this week at the Television Critics Association annual conference, where each network previews what it has in store for the coming season. Variety<\/a> reported on his appearance and interactions with reporters, as well as news that CBS plans to run reruns of prime-time programming at 11:30pm ET this summer, between David Letterman<\/strong>‘s departure from The Late Show<\/em> on May 20th and Stephen Colbert<\/strong>‘s debut on September 8th. Corden will begin on the LLS March 23rd, and the network promised to ramp up promotion to “re-launch” him in the fall to coincide with Colbert’s starting date. Broadcasting & Cable<\/a> also reported on the network’s plans.\r\n\r\nAussie, Aussie, Aussie\"teneleven\"<\/a><\/strong><\/span>\r\nGood news for fans of The Late Late Show<\/em> in Australia: The show will continue to be broadcast after James Corden takes over in March. As the website chortle.co.uk<\/a> adds, there’s no word about whether the show will be picked up in the UK with its new host. The show is scheduled to continue in Canada on Omni.\r\n\r\nDragon Points<\/strong><\/span>\r\n\"03<\/a>As we reported in an update on Sunday evening, the DreamWorks film How To Train Your Dragon 2<\/em>, featuring the voice of Craig Ferguson, won a Golden Globe Award for Best Animated Feature.
