YouTube Awards

Another day, another Awards show: The YouTube Music Awards are out with actor Jason Schwartzman and musician Reggie Watts presiding over the unscripted and unrehearsed "frenetic ceremony" with each winner presented with a gold-plated DMCA takedown notice which is faintly amusing. Who won? Well the six were:

Artist Of The Year: Eminem

Video Of The Year: Girls' Generation - I Got A Boy

YouTube Phenomenon: Walk Off The Earth +  KRNFX I Knew You Were Trouble

Innovation of the Year: DeStorm - See Me Standing

Response Of The Year: Lindsey Stirling and Pentatonix - Radioactive

Breakthrough Of The Year: Macklemore & Ryan Lewis

Indie actress Greta Gerwig kicked off proceedings at the sprawling Pier 36 venue in New York, performing in a live video for Arcade Fire and their new song Afterlife and Lady Gaga performed her single Dope for the first time. The ceremony was streamed live.
