It's that time again, kiddos. The 2017 Webby Awards are here to celebrate and acknowledge all of the best, most fascinating, interesting, thought-provoking and downright entertaining things the internet has to offer us.

Tuesday morning, the official list of winners was announced and boy-oh-boy did Lady Gaga and James Corden clean up.

This year, there were just over 13,000 entries (which, like, FEELS like a lot but if we're talking about everything on the internet ever, that's pretty good) and hundreds of categories broken down into six fields.

The fields are Websites, Social, Film & Video, Mobile Sites & Apps, Podcasts & Digital Audio and Advertising/Media & PR. They also handed out People's Voice Awards based on fan votes.

Lady Gaga brought home three awards for her Lady Gaga + Intel performance at the Grammys and Corden scored the People's Voice Award for Entertainment (Social).

And ya know what, THEY WOULD, YOU ASSHOLES. They are literally two of my favorite people of all time and they deserve it.

I mean, look.
