Ανακοινώθηκε η λίστα των φετινών υποψηφιοτήτων για τα βραβεία που τιμούν τους πρωτοπόρους του διαδικτύου.

Τα φετινά Webby Awards θα είναι ξεχωριστά, καθώς φέτος θα συμμετάσχουν πολλά μεγάλα ονόματα της μουσικής, αλλά και της μικρής και μεγάλης οθόνης. Ανάμεσα στους υποψήφιους για τα φετινά βραβεία είναι οι Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon, Tom Hanks, Billie Eilish, Leonardo DiCaprio, Lizzo, Idris Elba, Jennifer Garner και πολλοί άλλοι καλλιτέχνες που στράφηκαν στις πλατφόρμες streaming και τα μέσα κοινωνικής δικτύωσης λόγω της πανδημίας.

Η Διεθνής Ακαδημία Ψηφιακών Τεχνών και Επιστημών ανακοίνωσε την λίστα των υποψήφιων για τα βραβεία τα οποία έχουν στόχο να τιμήσουν τους πρωτοπόρους στο διαδίκτυο, αλλά και να αναγνωρίσουν την προσφορά προσωπικοτήτων και οργανισμών που έχουν αξιοποιήσει τα σύγχρονα μέσα για να αντιμετωπιστεί ο κορωνοϊός.

«Το διαδίκτυο είναι η κόλλα μας αυτή τη στιγμή. Είναι το πιο ισχυρό εργαλείο μας για να στηρίζουμε και να εμψυχώνουμε ο ένας τον άλλο και δεν αποτελεί έκπληξη που οι υποψήφιοι για φέτος είναι εταιρείες και άνθρωποι που βρίσκονται στην πρώτη γραμμή. Ανέπτυξαν την εφευρετικότητά τους, χρησιμοποιώντας τις πλατφόρμες τους για να αντιμετωπίσουν αυτήν την κρίση, καινοτομώντας, συνδέοντας, ενημερώνοντας και βοηθώντας ανθρώπους σε όλο τον κόσμο» δήλωσε η εκτελεστική διευθύντρια των Webby Awards, Claire Graves.
