Webbys 2008: The Photos

As promised, here's some picture i.d. from last night's award show. Also, those of you who are still fascinated by the five word speech challenge may want to relinquish your frantic facebook status updating for a moment and check out this...it's a whole extra word even!

The Webbys: Thanks For Sleeping With Us

100_2487.jpgSo, it became clear half way through last night's Webby Awards why the winners were limited to five word acceptance speeches: so many awards! (Seriously, so many that the winners were requested to come to the stage in "clusters"). Still, five words is a lot of pressure and, as we shortly discovered, it was all about the presentation and making your fifteen seconds (literally) count. A couple of speeches of note from the many we heard last night:

But the crowd favorite came from the Trapeze who won in the Retail category for their Ikea bed campaign: Thanks for sleeping with us.

Seth Meyers did an admirable job of holding the long, packed event together (so packed one attendee told us they'd had and easier time getting in to the Sex and the City premiere). From his opening monologue: "Tonight we are honoring the two percent of the online industry that's not pornography." We'll be back with the photo evidence later in the day.

Five Words: The Webby Awards Gala Tonight

scolbert4545df3.jpgYep, it's time once again for your favorite digital folks to come off the internets and into real life, at least for the night. We already know who the winners are and now we get to see them in action when they take the stage tonight at the 12th Annual Webby Awards Gala. The ceremony will be hosted by Seth Myers and feature David Byrne (Webby Lifetime Achievement), Stephen Colbert (Webby Person of The Year), will.i.am (Webby Artist of the Year), Arianna Huffington of The Huffington Post (Best Political Blog) all of whom will be alloted exactly five words for their acceptance speech No wonder entire event is sold out to capacity! Every awards show should institute such a rule.

Anyway, FishbowlNY was lucky enough to get an invite, so we'll be there twittering the night away as usual, with photo proof to follow sometime tomorrow. In the meantime a complete list of winners and nominees can be found here.

Writing With Your Stomach: James Beard Award Winners Announced

maar_dominican01_608.jpgThe James Beard Awards, also known as the "Oscars of the food world" were announced yesterday. The two big winners, with two awards each, were New York Magazine and Gourmet. As WWD notes, in "true magabrand/multiplatform fashion" the magazines' won for both long-form journalism (Manny Howard's article on Brooklyn farming in New York, Junot Diaz on Dominican food in Manhattan for Gourmet), as well as, online and television contributions (the Grub Street blog at nymag.com and Gourmet's "Diary of a Foodie" on PBS). A full list of winners can be found here. In the meantime, from Diaz's piece:

But if you want to see the real El Malecon, visit after midnight. When everyone is returning from a dance, a party, a drive, a long stretch of work. Past midnight is when you will see the community best. When all the impediments fall away and the X-ray of who we are is almost perfect. And yes, no matter what, order the vaunted rotisserie chicken. Sometimes you'll catch a bad bird and it will be dry — well, my friends, dust off the middle-school Spanish and send it back for another. The juicy ones are worth enduring the rolled eyes of the servers and your inability to conjugate querer properly; the juicy ones, you see, are divine.

Ellies '08: New Board Members

a10161.jpgAs expected, David Willey, senior vice president of Rodale, was elected president of the American Society of Magazine Editors today at the annual ASME luncheon. He replaces outgoing president Cindi Leive. Willey, who is the editor-in-chief of Runner's World and the editorial director of Running Times, is the first ASME president based outside of New York in more than a decade.

Elle EIC Roberta Myers will serve another term as vice president, while New York's Adam Moss and Self's Lucy Danziger get one more year as secretary and treasurer, respectively.

Joining the board for two-year terms are Larry Hackett, managing editor of People, James B. Meigs, EIC of Popular Mechanics, and Ladies' Home Journal's Diane Salvatore.

Full release after the jump.

opc_header_map_robin.jpg

The Gray Lady will be the big winner at the 69th annual Overseas Press Club ceremony tonight at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in New York. The New York Times will receive six of the 21 awards, the most any single organization's won in one year. Getty Images will take home three of the four photography awards.

Ann Curry will host the ceremony, while The Wall Street Journal's former managing editor (no, not that one) Paul Steiger will serve as the featured speaker, presumably sans pie to the face.

Full release post jump.

Best Of The Web 2008

MinOnline's Best of the Web 2008 awards, which recognize "outstanding Web sites and digital initiatives among consumer and b2b magazines" were presented this past Monday at a luncheon at New York's Grand Hyatt Hotel. And while it's probably safe to assume the ceremony was wholly lacking in long-winded musical numbers and over-styled starlets with categories like "Microsite/Custom Website" and "Uses of Interactivity" how could one resist.

This year's big winners included Newsweek.com's "Voices of the Fallen" - a feature that gathered together the emails, journal entries and letters of one hundred soldiers who'd died in Iraq - for "Best Integration With Print;" Meredith's Better Homes & Gardens, which snagged "Online Team of the Year;" and thedailygreen, winner of best "New Site."

Perhaps in some small measure of the times in which we are living Passport, a blog by the Editors of Foreign Policy, beat out nymag.com's entertainment blog Vulture in the "Blog/s and/or Videologs" category. Also of note, the New Yorker, ever at the top of their game (and where short fiction is concerned, often the only one playing) won for its Fiction Podcast.

A complete list of winners and finalists can be found here.
