OK Go win YouTube 'Oscar' Tuesday, 27 Mar 2007 08:02
Users of the site voted for the winners![]()
Indie pop band OK Go's Here It Goes Again has won the most creative video at the inaugural YouTube 'Oscars'.
The clip sees the Chicago-based foursome doing an elaborately choreographed dance on a number of treadmills.
Proving that quirkiness inevitably wins the day on video-sharing website YouTube, the clip has so far been viewed upwards of 13 million times.
Other winners included the LA comedy series Ask a Ninja. YouTube chose ten nominees in seven categories and asked the public to vote.
And despite Helen Mirren's British trailblazing on the movie awards circuit, the UK's best bet came home empty handed. Sadly British war veteran, known as the internet's grandfather, Peter Oakley (Geriatric1927) lost out to Canadian Wine Kone for best commentary.
"It's always interesting for us to make something in 'the real world' - something like a trophy that would be like the Emmys or the Oscars," YouTube product manager Michael Powers told the Associated Press news agency.
However it's unlikely such awards will see lengthy awards speeches, four-hour-long ceremonies and floods of tears a la Gwyneth, although it is thought acceptance speeches will be posted on the site in due course.
