Comic Patton Oswalt hosted the 24th Webby Awards digitally Tuesday, and joked of confusing coronavirus stats and treatments: “Back when [the awards] started, most people didn’t understand concepts like broadband and memes. Now it’s 2020, and people don’t understand things like vaccines and math.”
Tom Hanks, John Krasinski, Miley Cyrus and Kristen Bell were honored for their online responses to the coronavirus; former First Lady Michelle Obama presented to D-Nice for his Club Quarantine parties; and Dr. Anthony Fauci introduced an award to high-schooler Avi Schiffmann, who created a Web site to track the spread of COVID-19 across the world.
