Winners of the 71st Annual Peabody Awards have been announced. As previously reported, the awards will be presented in a ceremony at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City on Monday, May 21, hosted by stage and screen star Patrick Stewart.

The Peabody recognizes excellence in electronic media - inclusive of radio, television, interactive and new media.

Comedy Central's The Colbert Report won its second Peabody for its deadpan anchor's "Super PAC" segments lampooning the rise of megabucks politics. The show stars Stephen Colbert, who appeared in the New York Philharmonic's staging of the musical Company.

Winners also included HBO's Game of Thrones, which features such theater veterans as Peter Dinklage, Aidan Gillen, and Iain Glen.
