Monday night the third annual Shorty Awards took place at The Times Center. The event honors Twitter users' entire content rather than an individual tweet and featured presenters like Kiefer Sutherland, Jerry Stiller, and Jim Gaffigan.  The Daily Show's Aasif Mandvi played host while Miss USA and Miss Teen USA made stage appearances. Conan O’Brien, Mayor Cory Booker, Neil Patrick Harris and the Jonas Brothers were amongst the winners. After, everyone head to Tribeca Grand to party. More»
