This week, the Webby Awards announced its 2008 nominees to recognize the best of the Web in the categories of Websites, Interactive Advertising, Online Film & Video, and Mobile. The Webby’s have been hailed as “the Oscars of the Internet” by the New York Times and are presented by the International Academy of Digital Arts & Sciences.

Each category will receive two honors - a Webby Award (as determined by the Academy’s members) and a People’s Voice Award. The People’s Voice Award is decided by popular vote, which means you can vote now through May 1 to help your favorite online companies and services receive major recognition. Check out the full list of nominees here.
