PSA: YouTube's tamer music awards show takes place March 23rd
The YouTube Music Awards is finally happening this Monday after taking a year off. There probably won't be spontaneous antics and cake-digging this time, though -- like the Google-owned video website announced in 2014, it's doing away with the traditional awards show format. Instead, it will upload 13 brand new videos on the official awards channel at 1PM Eastern time, with YouTuber Tyler Oakley providing commentary on his own channel. The website's announcement says the videos were created to celebrate the 50 winners, whom it already named a couple of days ago (see below the fold). We have no idea how exactly the awardees will be honored, though... guess we'll just have to wait and see.
YouTube Music Awards 2013 nominees revealed, voting starts today
YouTube has announced the shortlisted artists and videos for its first annual Music Awards, with the voting process starting today. Based on views and 'fan engagement', the usual internet suspects are all here, including Miley, Lady Gaga, Girls Generation and PSY (still). At the same time, the users and less mainstream artists that make YouTube what it is are also represented in categories like "Response of the Year" and "Innovation of the Year." Scrutinize the full list of nominees after the break, place your vote at the source link and expect to hear who the winners are at YouTube's live event in New York on November 3rd.
