This Is 2014's 'GIF Of The Year,' As Determined By The Gifys

Forget the Emmys, the Grammys and all the other painfully long, drawn out awards shows.

For the Gifys, you only have to commit a couple seconds per award, and -- bonus! -- there's no self-congratulatory acceptance speech after.

This year's winners, announced March 5, honor the best GIFs from 2014 as determined by public submissions, voting, and a panel of GIF luminaries. In addition to a "GIF of the Year," winners were also announced in 11 other categories, including "Cats," "Film and TV," "News and Politics," and more.

The contest was sponsored in part by Giphy.com, a GIF-hosting site, and CP+B Los Angeles.

And the winners are...

Art + Design:

Can't Look Away:

Cats:

Film + TV:

Music:

Sports:

Throwback:

Weird:

And drumroll please...
