The heat index in most of the Northeast has been a few degrees into the triple digits for three days. But as your friends here at Appscout will gladly tell you, the Internet never sleep--for that matter, neither do award ceremonies. With that in mind, armies of Web stars in various interpretations of formal attire descended upon NYU's Skirball Center for Performing Arts for the 2008 Webby Film and Video Awards.
Chloe Albanesius is working on a post that will feature a complete rundown of the event, including all the now-infamous five-word acceptance speeches. For me, the high point of the evening was partaking in the red-carpet press gauntlet and getting a chance to chat up some comedy legends such as David Wain (pictured above, a self-proclaimed AppScout fan--I'll refrain from going all fanboy and declaring Wet Hot American Summer the funniest movie of all time), Lorne Michaels, Seth Myers, Tim and Eric, and the night's host, Judah Friedlander. We also spoke with Michel Gondry and Rosie Perez, as well as Web stars like Tay Zonday and the Obama Girl, Amber Lee Etting.
After the jump, videos of Tay Zonday singing Weezer, Amber Lee Etting waxing analytic about VP nominees, Tim and Eric talking about sketch-comedy PC optimization, an utterly confused David Wain, and more.
