Anna says geeks are chic

At the 2011 Webby Awards (giving out awards for the best websites in various categories), Vogue.com won the "People's Choice" award for fashion. The award - presented by Daniel Radcliffe - was accepted by Madame Vogue herself, Anna Wintour. Although some might be surprised that Wintour actually went to the Webby's, the biggest talk of the night (and subsequently, the web) was her five-word acceptance speech. Her short speech - more like a statement than a speech, really - is probably the most famous quote from last night's festivities. And as fab fashion website Fashionista put it: "Even if she did dart of the stage like it was the end of a bad fashion show, Wintour’s presence would seem to indicate her acknowledgement of the importance of the internets. Yay for that!"

Watch Ms Wintour's fantastic speech below.
