 PCWorld.com - Webby Awards Announce Finalists
The International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences has announced the nominees for the fifth annual Webby Awards, which is billed as the Oscars of the Internet and pays tribute to some of the most creative, informative, and just plain wacky sites on the Web.

Although the Webbys are often compared to the Oscar ceremony hosted by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the trademark of the online awards is irreverence.

 Salon Technology | Webby or not, here they come   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
The Webby Awards, now in their fourth extravagant year, have been described by founder Tiffany Shlain as the anti-Oscars -- and it's true.
San Francisco Examiner executive editor Phil Bronstein attended, but his movie star wife, Sharon Stone, did not; acceptance speeches were, as always, strictly limited to five words; and Webby Award winner Napster did not -- indeed could not -- kiss its brother on the lips, for reasons that don't need pointing out.
The Onion, which won the Webby for humor and whose award was preceded by the funniest short film in the show (a parody of the Budweiser "Wassup?" ads starring Bill Gates, Alan Greenspan, Janet Reno, George W. Bush and Arnold Schwarzenegger), got a huge hand despite its disappointing acceptance haiku ("They said I could only...").

 Webby Awards Push the Envelope
The biggest surprise at Wednesday night's fifth annual Webby Awards was not that the Web still existed - though many media outlets mined that vein until exhaustion - but that the organizers and participants put on a pretty good show.
Despite the pretensions of Webby honcho Tiffany Shlain and the self-styled International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences, the Webbys aren't the Tonys or the Oscars.
The Webbys will never be a major awards show, thank goodness, as long as the winners are limited to five-word acceptance speeches and aren't even announced by name.
