Justin Bieber Wins People's Voice Award
The 15th Annual Webby Award winners, known as the “Oscars of the Web” have been announced and Justin Bieber is a fan favorite.
The nominees in the Comedy: Individual Short or Episode were Zach Galifinakis, Justin Bieber, College Humor, The Onion and 72andSunny. The winner of the Webby went to Zach Galifinakis with Justin Bieber receiving the People’s Voice Award for his comedy Justin Bieber Takes Over Funny or Die
Of course not everyone was happy with that outcome. College Humor tweeted, “If Justin Bieber wins this Webby, we’re pretty much opening the door for Ke$ha to win an Oscar. SAVE US ALL. Vote CH”
Zach Galifinakis did fairly well at the Webbys, winning in two categories. The other category he won in was Best Web Personality/Host.
The winners are selected by the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences. There will be a live online broadcast of the Webby Awards on June 13th.
The Webbys have been in place since 1997 and honor the best of online entertainment and news. There are close to 70 different categories with websites making up the majority of the winners, nominees, and honorees. Some of the sites are recognized for their appearance and others for their usability. Some qualify for both. Being selected among the best is quite a milestone and worthy of some praise.
