Okay so this is massively outdated. The Webby Awards, which recognize online excellence, were held in early June. Here’s a listing of this year’s winners.
What’s great about the Webbys is that everyone is limited to five words in their acceptance speeches. No exceptions. Here are some of my favorites from this year’s event:
“Wait, we didn’t charge anything?” – Trent Reznor, Webby Artist of the Year
“Thank God Conan got promoted.” – Jimmy Fallon, Webby Person of the Year
“Can everyone get closer together.” – Flickr, community award
“Shinehart Wig Company thanks you.” – NBC.com Full Episode Player, broadband award
“Dude we got an A.” – Edutopia, education award
“I didn’t kill newspapers, ok?” – The Huffington Post, politics & blog award
“Robot sharks with lasers in space.” – Wired.com, science award
“Airna, will you marry me?” – Volkswagen Innovations, banner ad campaign award
“Read a freakin newspaper please.” – Detroit Free Press, sports video award
