The Winners of the 28th Annual Webby Awards will be celebrated during a star-studded awards ceremony at Cipriani Wall Street on Monday, May 13. Multi-talented writer, comedian, producer and Late Night with Seth Meyers mainstay, Amber Ruffin, will host this year’s ceremony. Ruffin also hosted her own series, The Amber Ruffin Show, on Peacock, and wrote for TV shows such as Detroiters and Drunk History. Her book, You’ll Never Believe What Happened to Lacey is a New York Times best-seller. She also co-wrote the most Tony-nominated musical of 2023, Some Like It Hot. Ruffin is writing the current Broadway revival of The Wiz.
“This year’s Nominees represent the very best in innovation and creativity on the Internet,” said Claire Graves, President of The Webby Awards. “Individually the work is outstanding and collectively they represent a commitment from brands, creators and technology companies to human-centric design and storytelling. We are so excited to celebrate our 28th Annual Webby Award Winners with Amber Ruffin as host. She is the epitome of laugh out loud funny and we can’t wait to LOL, literally, with her on the Internet’s biggest night on Monday, May 13.”
This year, a brand new suite of AI Apps and Experience categories recognize the innovation and continued impact of AI across tech, pop culture, advertising, art, public service, activism and beyond. Nominees include TextFX, Adobe Photoshop, Pinterest, Flora AI, Canva, descrybe.ai, Captions AI, DataGPT, Immerse, Remix AI, Ai for Alpha, Missjourney.ai, Clay, PhotoRoom, Peridot, RunwayML and more. With these categories, The Webby Awards hope to highlight and inspire work that reimagines the default ways we do things online – including using machine learning as a tool to address environmental and social concerns.
