Lisa Kudrow Hosts The 15th Annual Webby Awards (Photos & Video)

6/13/2011 by

Tonight was The 15th Annual Webby Awards, hosted by Lisa Kudrow in NYC at Hammerstein Ballroom, and it was a huge night for the Internet!

One of the top 5-word acceptance speeches came from Dan Savage of It Gets Better who said “Tracy Morgan can suck my…” in response to the comedian’s recent controversial remarks.

In another notable five-word speech, Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour delivered remarks clearly aimed at her audience: “Sometimes geek can be chic,” the legendary editor said.

And, ignoring the famous Webby Award five-word speech protocol, funny man Will Ferrell accepted Funny or Die‘s award via video alongside site co-founders Adam McKay and Chris Henchy with a haiku. “Thanks for this award. I will put it in my house next to my instructional poetry textbooks. Thank you.”

Other big-named attendees included Daniel Radcliffe, Adrian Grenier, John Mayer, Will Ferrell (via a special surprise video speech), Brooke Shields, Lisa Lampanelli, Marlon Wayans, Norah Jones, James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem, Antoine Dodson, Damian Kulash of OK Go, and Darrell Hammond, amongst many others.
