2006 Webby Award winners
Last night was the awards ceremony for the 10th annual Webby Awards. I can't believe it's been ten years already.

See the Webby web site for the complete list of winners as well as all the five-word speeches, or if video is your thing take a look at Amanda Congdon's highlights reel over at Rocketboom.

Yeah but Wikipedia is not the most reliable source either, that's probably why it was excluded.
