With more than 1,000 episodes under their belts, How Long Gone podcast hosts Chris Black<\/a> and Jason Stewart<\/a> brought their singular formula to the New York stage for the premiere edition of the \u201cGoneies\u201d this Tuesday. The evening of pomp, circumstance, and tongue-in-cheek rhythm wasn\u2019t unlike their weekly episodes, which feature top talent and voices across entertainment and pop culture for conversations punctuated by (playfully) snide remarks and musical finishes.<\/p>\n By the night\u2019s end, silver chalices had been awarded to an array of tastemakers and friends of the pod, including John Early<\/a> as \u201cAlly of the Year,\u201d and Black himself as \u201cGaybaiter of the Year.\u201d<\/p>\n The Location: Racket, the Chelsea performance space featuring a rotation of indie rock, punk, and electronic acts, morphed into an impromptu trophy room for the night\u2019s festivities, including special build-outs of the podcast\u2019s green-and-blue-branded world.<\/p>\n The Guests:\u00a0This year\u2019s awardees included It-girls and -boys from the Internet\u2019s halls including musician Mark Ronson; comedians Jacqueline Novak, Mary Beth Barone, John Early, and Joey Dardano; stylist Nicky Campbell; writer Emily Sundberg<\/a>; chefs Andy Baraghani<\/a> and Alison Roman<\/a>; and podcast hosts Dan Rosen and Brian Park.<\/p>\n Cause for FOMO: There\u2019s a specific brand of light-hearted chaos that occurs when extremely online people take something seriously. For those in the room, that meant watching a crowd of major personalities flex their comedic muscles in real-time.<\/p>\n Memorable Moment: The evening was punctuated by live performances from musicians including Kevin Morby, Blondshell, and J Mascis, all sharing the same stage that the illustrious winners would make their speeches from after receiving each \u201cGoneie.\u201d<\/p>\n The Categories and Winners<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n It Girl of the Year<\/p>\n Rachel Sennott<\/p>\n Audrey Hobert<\/p>\n Ch\u2019lita Collins<\/p>\n Veronika Slowikowska<\/p>\n Mary Beth Barone <\/p>\n Jake Shane<\/p>\n Ivy Wolk<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Best Dressed of the Year<\/p>\n Luke Fracher<\/p>\n Samuel Hine<\/p>\n Mark Guiducci<\/p>\n \u201cOur Friend Tim\u201d<\/p>\n Matty Matheson<\/p>\n Mark Ronson<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Ally of the Year (For the Gay Guy Who\u2019s Rocking With Us the Most)<\/p>\n Mel Ottenberg<\/p>\n Ryan O\u2019Connell<\/p>\n Rostam<\/p>\n Derek Blasberg<\/p>\n Max Stein<\/p>\n John Early\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Best Chef Who Doesn\u2019t Work at a Restaurant<\/p>\n Molly Baz<\/p>\n Pierce Abernathy<\/p>\n Andy Baraghani<\/p>\n Alison Roman\u00a0<\/p>\n Ben Lippett<\/p>\n Matty Matheson<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Album of the Year<\/p>\n Kevin Morby<\/p>\n Kurt Vile<\/p>\n Madonna<\/p>\n Drake<\/p>\n Charli XCX<\/p>\n Role Model<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Best Internet Personality<\/p>\n Taylor Lorenz<\/p>\n Delaney Rowe<\/p>\n Giovanni Luciano<\/p>\n Hannah Bronfman<\/p>\n Pia and Davide Baroncini<\/p>\n Kareem Rahma<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Best Normal Restaurant<\/p>\n Borgo<\/p>\n The Odeon<\/p>\n Hillstone<\/p>\n Lenwich<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Gaybaiter of the Year<\/p>\n Lukas Gage<\/p>\n Benson Boone<\/p>\n Kendall Jenner<\/p>\n Jojo Siwa<\/p>\n Chris Black<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The Hunter Seagroves Award for Physical Fitness<\/p>\n Tyrell Hampton<\/p>\n Naomi McPherson<\/p>\n Joe Holder<\/p>\n Andy Baraghani<\/p>\n Dua Lipa<\/p>\n Gracie Abrams<\/p>\n Terrence O\u2019Connor<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n More of our favorite stories from CULTURED<\/p>\n The 15 Must-See Solo Gallery Shows in New York This Month<\/a><\/p>\n What Does It Take to Make It as an Independent Fashion Designer in 2026?
