Lil Nas X’s “Panini,” NASA’s social media presence, Rihanna’s Fenty Beauty line, and John Krasinski’s Some Good News YouTube show are among the winners of this year’s Webby Awards. The annual awards show celebrates the wide variety of things that happen online, from websites and podcasts to design and data visualizations to video series and social media accounts, and they tend to touch on a big swath of what happened in the preceding year.
This year’s winners, announced on Tuesday, were largely dominated by media and entertainment companies. National Geographic took away this year’s most awards, 15 total, with wins for its science podcasts, travel videos, and photos on social media, among other things. Google came in a close second, with 14 wins, for categories including best navigation and best branded editorial experience.
Other big winners included The Washington Post, Conde Nast, Spotify, ESPN, HBO, and NASA, which won multiple awards for its use of social media. Vox Media, which includes The Verge, won a number of podcast and video awards as well, including for The Verge’s video “Inside the traumatic life of a Facebook moderator.”
Here’s the full list of winners.
