Weibo Night held by micro-blog site Sina Weibo, witnessing the presentation of 12 awards related to last year's most-talked-about events, topics and people at Shangri-La's China World Summit Wing last week.

Actors, actresses and singers such as Huang Bo, Gao Yuanyuan, musical group Chopsticks Brothers and entrepreneurs including Ren Zhiqiang and Pan Shiyi walked on the red carpet in formal clothes before the ceremony started.

Microblogs have become an important platform for netizens to get access to information, discuss public events and communicate with celebrities. Sina Weibo has more than 600 million registered users, with daily tweets totalling about 150 million.

The 2014 Weibo Night generates award lists in entertainment, public events, trends and industries through votes from netizens. Singer and actor Lu Han, and Yang Ying, who is better known as Angelababy, were crowned as Weibo King and Weibo Queen for their popularity among fans.

Lu, together with actors Chen Xuedong, Tong Dawei, Zhang Hanyu and Zheng Kai, were named the annual Male Gods of Weibo. Six actresses including Yang, Liu Tao and Yuan Quan were elected as this year's Goddesses of Weibo.

"Thanks to Sina Weibo, each of us has become a small news agency, posting whatever we want to share, to tell others what we are doing every day," said actor Zheng Kai.
