Sir David Attenborough, Cardi B and more top stars have been nominated for this year's Webby Awards.
Sir David Attenborough
The shortlists for the 2021 ceremony - set to take place on May 18 with Jameela Jamil at host - have been revealed by the International Academy of Digital Arts & Sciences, with HBO and Comedy Central leading the way with 20 and 19 nods respectively across the board.
The likes of Cardi B, Kevin Bacon, Jennifer Garner, Sir David Attenborough, Barack Obama and James Corden are also among the nominees across a range of categories.
Elsewhere, WWE's social media platforms are in the running in the sports category, while the company's 'WrestleMania 36' show is listed under Events & Livesteams (Social Content Series & Campaigns).
Also in the running is Disney's 'Hamilton' Twitter Watch Party, RMG's Black Entrepreneurs Day, Adobe's CoCreate Series and NASA's 'Launch America: U.S. Astronauts Launch from U.S. Soil'.
In a statement, Webby Wards president Claire Graves said: "Despite so much adversity this year, the creators behind our nominated work have found new and exciting ways to use their platforms and creativity to help the world stay connected.”
The event recognises the best internet content and creators, with Attenborough in the running for his Instagram account, while Cardi B appears on the Video Remixes/Mashups shortlist for the 'If Cardi B Did the Sound Effects For Star Wars - Episode II' clip.
With 'The Good Place' star Jameela at the helm, the event will feature the ceremony's trademark five-word acceptance speeches from the winners.
Meanwhile, all nominees are eligible for the top two prizes, including The Webby Award and the Webby People's Voice Award, which is voted by fans.
Voting is open now at vote.webbyawards.com until May 6.
