Webby’s Awards 2016: Kim Kardashian Promises More Naked Selfies as She Accepts the First-Ever “Break the Internet” Award + Red Carpet Photos
Actor & Comedian Nick Offerman played host in a Pizza Rat Onesie at the 20th Annual Weeby’s awards Held at Cipriani Wall Street on May 16th, 2016 in New York City.
Unlike other award shows, which let winners ramble on until they’re ushered off, the 2016 Webby Awards restricted its award speeches to a word count that fits on one hand! As the first winner of the night, Kim Kardashian kicked off the 20th Annual Webbys, with a simple pledge “Naked selfies until I die” while accepting the first-ever Break the Internet award.
Other highlights of the night include Rapper Kanye West’s shortest acceptance speech ever “I hate short speeches”, Opal Tometi, co-founder of the Black Lives Matter’s speech “Stay turnt, black lives matter” after which she received a standing ovation and soul singer Erykah Badu‘s purple tribute to the late Prince.
