Justin Bieber is a Webby Winner
Singer Justin Bieber took home his first honors at the 15th Annual Webby Awards, celebrating the best of the Internet.
Bieber's Funny or Die.com video "Justin Bieber Takes over Funny or Die.com" won in the Comedy: Individual Short or Episode category, despite his competitor, the comedy website CollegeHumor.com and its Twitter campaign to "steal" votes from the young pop star.

From Twitter to Team Coco, this year's awards honored a wide variety of entrants -- in categories such as activism, music, comedy short and sports -- for their excellence in website design, interactive advertising, film and video, mobile and apps.
Other winners included "Hangover" star Zach Galifianakis for Best Web Personality/Host for "Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis" and Lisa Kudrow for Best Comedy: Long Form or Series for "Web Therapy."
This year's top winner? None other than the celebrity-favorite humor website Funny or Die, which ruled this year's Webby Awards with eight wins. For a complete list of winners, click here.
