Grimes, Frank Ocean & more win at 2013 Webby Awards
The 17th annual Webby Awards was held earlier this week, celebrating the best in online culture and “excellence on the Internet”.
The web and music have long gone hand-in-hand, so much so that Tumblrcore is now conisdered a valid genre. Among the musical guests at the ceremony this year were Grimes, awarded ‘Artist of the Year’, Frank Ocean, receiving the ‘Person of the Year’ accolade, and Tanlines performing live.
Here are a series of highlights from the event:
Grimes picking up her ‘Artist of the Year’ Webby and saying just a little over five words.
Tanlines perform live at the event.
Jerry Seinfeld wins Webby for ‘Outstanding Comedic Performance’.
Steve Wilhite given ‘Lifetime Achievement Award’ for inventing the GIF.
Tumblr win ‘Best Website Community’ and say ‘Fuck Yeah!’ as a response.
