The 2014 Webby Awards took place last night, which featured, among many others, presentations from Questlove, Patti Smith and Stephen Malkmus.

​First up below is The Roots drummer Questlove, who gave a touching tribute speech while presenting the “Artist of the Year” award to De La Soul for their free release of their entire back-catalogue on Valentine’s Day. Then is Patti Smith, who presented the “Person of the Year” award to Banksy. Then, see a co-presentation from Pavement’s Stephen Malkmus alongside Reggie Watts, who struggled (or pretended to struggle? [or both?]) with their teleprompters while presenting the “Best Viral Video” award for Ylvis’s “What Does The Fox Say?” Last up is a little added bonus in the form of a performance from Fred Armisen as Ian Rubbish and the Bizzaros performing their hit “Hey Policeman.”

Watch all four below.
