15th Annual Webby Awards - winners [UPDATED]


The winners for the 15th Annual Webby Awards were announced today. Each of the nearly 70 categories had a winner named for the Webby Award and the People’s Voice Award. Winners in multiple categories include Funny Or Die (8), Google Creative Labs (5), Wieden+Kennedy (4), @radical.media (4), Discovery Communications (4), Goodby, Silverstein & Partners (4), MLB Advanced Media, LP (3), The New York Times (3), TED.com (3),  ESPN (3) and AOL (3).

“This year’s Webby winners exemplify the type of profound effect the Internet is having on popular culture and the world at large,” declares Webby Awards’ exec-director David-Michel Davies. “From Arcade Fire’s reinvention of the music video format with The Wilderness Downtown, or the New York Times coverage of revolution in Egypt and the Middle East, the Internet is the driving force of change in the world today.” Among the individual winners are Lisa Kudrow, Conan O’Brien, Arcade Fire, Zach Galifianakis, Angry Birds, and Snoop Dogg.

The awards ceremony will take place in New York City on June 13th. Winners traditionally accept their Webby Awards with five-word acceptance speeches. Past winners include Al Gore ("Please don't recount this vote") and Jimmy Fallon ("Thank God Conan got promoted"). You can like the Webbys on Facebook for your invite to watch a live online broadcast of the awards show.
