A Reuters story identifies my biggest problem with the Webbies, and most other US-based awards:

Choices by the 350-member International Academy of Digital Arts & Sciences put an overwhelming focus on English-language, U.S.-centered sites, defying the very notion of the World Wide Web, and the fact that a growing majority of Web users live outside the United States, and prefer sites in a smorgasbord of languages.

The sites nominated are great, really, but they are also overwhelmingly American.
