The YouTube Award winners for 2006 have been announced, and the trophies are presumably being shipped to points around the world. Unfortunately the closure of voting came with little fanfare, as the YouTubers aren’t spending their billions on an awards ceremony.
NewTeeVee contributor Minic Rivera has a nice summary of each winner for the Blog Herald. To all the nominees, NewTeeVee offers Most Inspirational winner Free Hugs.
The innovative voting system asked users to rank the nominees in each category once a day for the five days of voting. (See explanation.) The voting page, which included easy access to each video, is still up to reflect the final rankings in each category (though no numbers have been announced).
If you’ve gotten a thirst for ranking videos that’s now unquenchable, The Video Awards announces a new batch of winners every month.
YouTube’s winners:
Most Creative: OK Go
Most Inspirational: Free Hugs
Best Series: Ask a Ninja
Best Comedy: Smosh
Best Music: Terranaomi
Best Commentary: The Wine Kone
Most Adorable Video: Kiwi!
