YouTube joins the awards field
Lonelygirl15, OK Go and other YouTube sensations will get an opportunity to walk down a virtual red carpet.
The video-sharing website announced Monday that it would hold the first YouTube Video Awards to recognize the best user-created videos of 2006. The awards will be handed out in seven categories: most creative, most inspirational, best series, best comedy, musician of the year, best commentary and “most adorable video ever.”
The nominees, picked by YouTube, are compiled in a gallery at www.youtube.com/YTAwards. YouTube community members can vote on their favorites through Friday. The winners will be announced Sunday. Each will be prominently featured on YouTube and receive a trophy.
