Webby Awards 2008 Highlights

The 12th annual Webby Awards 2008 highlights, presented in New York City by members of the International Academy of Digital Arts & Sciences, is a lighthearted event where websites are awarded honors for being the best in their category. In 2008, there were 70 Webby Award categories, which means 140 winners, since each category has a People's Voice winner and another winner, selected by members of The Academy. The five-word acceptance speeches are often humorous; here are the ten best acceptance speeches for the 2008 Webby Awards.

1. Speaking of Faith won a webby in the Religion & Spirituality category. Its acceptance speech was "Not bad for an atheist."
