Webby award winners!
Now, how about this: The Webby Awards were announced Tuesday, and while we here at Watch This Now didn't win anything, it turns out we've featured many of the winners on this very site.
Which doesn't exactly make us winners-by-association, but we feel very cutting-edge right now.
Stephen Colbert of "The Colbert Report" is the Webby Person of the Year. Hopefully this will dull the pain of finishing third in the "100 Most Influential People of the Year."
Here's the link to my recent Colbert entry.
The Black Eyed Peas' will.i.am got a special Webby nod for his pro-Obama "Yes We Can" clip, which Tim Collie posted here back in February. Here's the link to that one.
And finally, director Michel Gondry got props for encouraging people to remake their favorite films and post them online -- also known as "sweding." You can check out all of Andrew Tran's "swede" posts in the "swede" section here, or just click on the category link on the right side of the blog.
Congratulations to the winners!
DAN SCAPUSIO joined the Sun Sentinel's online team in 2008. A self described Internet enthusiast, he says the World Wide Web brings him joy, sadness, excitement, joy and a deep sense of terror all at once. For him, it's a crossroads where college humor and the most valuable scholarly information can be found and, in some cases, even melded.
