Foursquare, Twitter, Jim Carrey, Daryl Hall si The Muppets sunt doar cativa dintre castigatorii
Webby care vor fi onorati, alaturi de Roger Ebert, OK Go, Amy Poehler si co-inventorul internetului, Vinton Cerf, la cea de-a 14-a editie a Webby Awards.
Membri ai Academiei ca Martha Stewart, Matt Groening si Arianna Huffington au facut parte din juriul care a selectat castigatorii Webby Awards, in timp ce oameni din jurul lumii au ales castigatorii Webby People's Awards.
A fost atins un nou record Webby: aproape 1 milion de voturi au fost acordate in competitia stransa, in care, proiecte incipiente ca '
Reel Good Show' de la Next New Network (Variety Video), '
Texts from Last Night' (Mobile Entertainment), si
Amir Blumenfeld de la College Humor (Individual Performance) au invins finalisti mai puternici.
Organizatorii au anuntat de asemenea lista initiala de inovatori in internet care vor primi
Webby Special Achievement Awards. In randul castigatorilor din anii trecuti, ca Al Gore, David Bowie si Prince, intra de anul acesta urmatorii:
•
Webby Person of the Year: Roger Ebert, care a ridicat stacheta jurnalismului online prin blogul sau incisiv si extrem de popular
Roger Ebert's Journal, unde scrie despre film, media, politica si despre viata in general.
•
Webby Film & Video Artist of the Year:
OK Go, care au rescris istoria rock&roll-ului prin utilizarea puterii virale a clipurilor video online, pentru a atinge noi audiente. Clipul lor de pe Youtube "
Here It Goes Again" a fost vazut de mai mult de 50 milioane de ori, in timp ce omagiul video adus lui Rube Goldberga trecut de 12 milioane de vizualizari in doar 2 luni.
•
Best Actress: In seria ei online "
Smart Girls at the Party,"
Amy Poehler a luat un concept simplu - interviuri cu tinere ambitioase - si l-a dus la cote neasteptate ale divertismentului.
•
Webby Lifetime Achievement Award: Co-inventatorul Internetului, Vinton Cerf, a realizat protocoalele TCP/IP si arhitectura de baza care a dus la crearea Internetului. De la munca lui de pionierat, de la Universitatea Stanford, in anii' 70, pana la rolul sau actual, de Chief Internet Evangelist la Google, Cerf continua sa modeleze comertul, comunicarea si cultura online.
"E emotionant sa onoram proiecte de succes ca Foursquare, Tumblr si Twitter, alaturi de omul care a ajutat la inventarea Internetului, Vint Cerf" a declarat David-Michel Davies, executive director, The Webby Awards. "Asta face Webby Awards si Internetul atat de speciale. E un loc unde si nou-venitii ca Evernote si Auto-Tune the News si veterani ca New York Times si Isabella Rossellini pot experimenta, isi pot asuma riscuri si pot duce mediul in noi directii".
