AceShowbiz - Billie Eilish and BTS are among the stars in the running for the 2021 Webby Awards.
The "bad guy" singer will compete for Viral, General Video (Video) for her annual Vanity Fair chat, titled, "Billie Eilish: Same Interview, The Fourth Year", while BTS' "Map of the Soul ON:E" online concert has earned them a nod for Music, General (Virtual & Remote), a category which also includes the "Diplo vs. The World DJ" battle.
John Mayer, Dua Lipa, Cardi B, Megan Thee Stallion, Keke Palmer, and comedians Trevor Noah and James Corden are also shortlisted for prizes, as well as Jennifer Garner, who is recognised for her virtual cooking series.
