These \u201cfools\u201d were funny, geeky (we bonded over\u00a0<em>Star Wars<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<em>Doctor Who<\/em>), and, like their fellow web series nominees, pioneers; it\u2019ll be exciting to see where this community takes the entire genre, because taken together, they\u2019re fearless trailblazers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #000000;\">Here\u2019s the list of winners from Saturday night\u2019s Leo ceremony. Tonight \u2014 Sunday, June 1 \u2014 is the big-ticket red carpet gala.
