Check Out the 2013 Webby Award Nominees

The Webby Awards announced on Tuesday the nominees for its 17th annual Internet extravaganza of excellence.

Nike led the nominations with 17 nods, followed by Google, HBO and The New York Times with 12 each. Celebs outside of the web like Tom Hanks and Lena Dunham also earned nominations for their work online. Could Hanks be the first multiple-Oscar winner to score a Webby? Your move, Daniel Day-Lewis.

Academy members -- including David Bowie and Instagram founder Kevin Systrom -- select the Webby winners, but regular Internet Joes can also chime in with The Webby People's Voice Awards. Voting starts today and goes until midnight on Thursday, April 25th.

The winners will be announced April 30 with a trophy-collecting shindig to follow on May 21. An online broadcast of the show will air on May 22.
