A video of a twerking routine gone horribly wrong has won one of the internet's highest honours.
The "Twerk Fail" clip, which was later revealed to be a fake created by US chat show host Jimmy Kimmel, was named best viral video at the Webbys.
Other winners included the Guardian newspaper, which was honoured for its interactive coverage of the NSA leaks.
The BBC also won two "people's choice" awards for its mobile news app, and its foreign language services.
The Webby Awards were established in 1996 as a way to recognise "excellence on the internet," according to the company's website.
There are dozens of categories, each with two winners. One is decided by a jury from the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences - which includes Netflix star Kevin Spacey and Ariana Huffington - and the other voted for by the public.
