Webbys Gala: Watch It

Where else are you going to get reps from the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum sidling up to Victoria's Secret models sidling up next to Star Wars action figure collectors? We can only think of one place: The Webby Awards gala.

Hosted in New York last night, videos from the glam shindig are now available on a bang-up YouTube site, so you can fritter away your lunch break watching all those five-word acceptance speechs, including from celebs like Sarah Silverman, Trent Reznor, Jimmy Fallon, Molly Sims, and, of course, the hot Victoria's Secret models.

Side note: When BayNewser first watched the VS models' acceptance speech, we thought they said (through heavy accents): "Victoria's Secret, sexy lunch break." Which we thought was pretty original. But when they added a "yeah" on the end, we realized there were too many words. Using complicated voice decoding software, we eventually determined that they'd just said, "Victoria's Secret, sexy lingerie, yeah." So disappointing. But, the attendees probably didn't mind—I mean, how many were actually listening to chicas in the first place?

Bay Areans honored include: Wired, Mission Local, Qik, Lonely Planet Publications, the George Lucas Educational Fund, and, of course, Twitter.

Oh, and the Star Wars action figure collectors' site? That's here. Pretty cool, no?

The list of all winners and nominees is here.
