The winners of the 16th annual Webby Awards have been announced, and among the celebrities being honored by the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences (yes, that’s a real thing) are Louis C.K., whose wildly successful $5 distribution method for his “Live at the Beacon Theater” comedy special earned him Person of the Year; Will Ferrell, who scored Best Individual Performance for his portrayal of George W. Bush in a Funny or Die clip about the death of Osama Bin Laden; and Bjork, who will receive a Special Recognition Award for Artist of the Year.

Other winners of note include Graydon Sheppard and Juliette Lewis, who nabbed Actresses of the Year for their “Shit Girls Say” videos; Funny or Die’s cameo-packed “Drunk History Christmas,” which won for Best Online Film or Video Comedy; and Pinterest and Spotify, which were selected as the top social media site and music app, respectively.
