Bravo blog TelevisionWithoutPity.com -- the motto of which is, "Spare the snark, spoil the networks" -- won the "best entertainment weblog" Bloggie award.

The awards, now in their eighth year, were given out March 10 at the South by Southwest Interactive Festival in Austin, Texas.

The winners gets $20.08 apiece (it is a nonprofit competition) and bragging rights, plus a discount to attend their own awards ceremony.

TelevisionWithoutPity.com provides a forum for recapping, rehashing and skewering TV shows of all stripes. For example, its “Question of the Moment” is what adorable American Idol contestant David Archuletta will have to do to lose (forgetting the words was apparently not one option if this week's episode was any gauge).

Answers provided by TWP included: "Be carried off in the talons of an owl" and "Become tangled in his own eyelashes."
