JimCarrey.com won in the celebrity/fan site category, Kudrow's work in "Web Therapy" was honored in the comedy series space and Rosselini's award came for experimental work in her "Green Porno" series.
Brad Pitt's "Make It Right" received a nod in the activism category and The Muppets earned a Webby for best viral video, among other things.
Among other winners, Next New Network's "Reel Good Show" will get the award for best variety video offer, "Texts from Last Night" will receive the mobile entertainment honor and College Humor's Amir Blumenfeld gets a Webby for best individual performance.
Judges for the awards included Martha Stewart, Matt Groening and Arianna Huffington.
