The 2013 Webby Awards named Frank Ocean as their Person of the Year, due to his 'thank you' letter posted on Tumblr.
The Webbys celebrate internet achievement, and Ocean used his Tumblr account last year to open up about his sexuality with fans and admit that his first love was male - which, according to the Webbys, proved "the power of the Web as a medium for cultural change."
Canadian musician Grimes will also be celebrated as she won the Webby Music Artist of the Year award.
Grimes frequently uses her Tumblr account in order to blog about sexism and other issues and has demonstrated "a deep understanding of the Internet as not only a distribution platform for her music and art, but as a social tool to connect with fans through candid, meaningful dialogue."
Other artists who have won awards this year from Webby include Justin Bieber, who won the People's Voice Award in the Social Media Campaigns category for the launch of his Girlfriend fragrance, and Lady Gaga who won Best Celebrity/Fan Social Presence Webby Award for her social media integration with Barney’s.
Grimes has also been honored with a Webby Award this year
The 'Genesis' star emphasised in the rant that she did not want her words taken out of context or to be labelled as a 'man-hater', but rather that she doesn't want to have to compromise her morals in order to make a living.
