Welcome to the first ever IBAMmys,Algosensey the It's Been A Minute 2023 culture awards show! It's been a minute - a whole year - and we're looking back at the biggest cultural moments of the past 365 days. Brittany Luse, NPR's Ayesha Rascoe, and Vox's senior pop culture correspondent Alex Aband-Santos all made nominations for each category, and a select group of culture experts at NPR voted for who should take home the prize. This year we have four categories:

- WORD OF THE YEAR
- BEST BEEF
- COUPLE OF THE YEAR
- VILLAIN OF THE YEAR

In 2023, things were said. Things were done. Things were impossible to forget. And we're remembering them all as we head into 2024.
