The Webby People's Voice Awards on YouTube

The Webby Awards announced its 24 nominees this week, and many of them originated right here on YouTube, including "The Muppets: Bohemian Rhapsody," "David After Dentist" and "The Pizza Slap."

While Academy judges such as Martha Stewart, David Bowie, and Arianna Huffington select the actual Webby Awards winners, millions of people around the world will also help decide who takes home a Webby by voting in The Webby People's Voice Awards. Fans have until April 29 to vote at youtube.com/thewebbyawards. There are a number of categories, from public service and activism to video remixes and viral.

Here’s a sample from last year, an acceptance speech from Jimmy Fallon that elicited loud laughs:
