The nominations for the Webby Awards, the annual extravaganza of accolades for just about anything connected to the Internet, have been announced. Leading the pack of nominees for the 13th annual Webbys are The New York Times' nytimes.com with 13 nominations, NBC.com with 12, and The Onion with 8.
Soaps were reprsented in the list of nominees.
UGLY BETTY presents: Mode After Hours was nominated in the Best Writing category. Andrew Miller's IMAGINARY BITCHES starring Eden Riegel received a nomination for Best Invidual Performance. LIFE IN GENERAL/GREENVILLE GENERAL was nominated for best Drama: Invidual Episode.
A complete list of nominees can be found at webbyawards.com.
As always, Webby winners are limited to five words for acceptance speeches. Last year, when late-night comedian Stephen Colbert accepted his award for "Person of the Year," his chosen five words were, "Me, me, me, me, me!"
In 2008, there were separate awards shows for the Webby Awards proper and the Film & Video offshoot. This year, perhaps because of budget cuts, both sets of awards will be presented at the same show on June 8, in conjunction with Internet Week New York.
