Youtube Awards, Nominees and Winners
“The most famous video channel announces awards, nobody bats an eye, But if the most famous video sharing platform announces awards, everybody goes crazy!”
Joker’s, now-modified, dialogue seems quite legit here, as YouTube has announced its very own awards, YouTube Music Awards that was held on November 3, 2013, and was broadcasted live on the video hosting giant’s website.
The nominees of all the six categories have already been announced, and the voting lines were open since October 21 2013. The nominees were chosen based on their presence and the response they get on several sites including Facebook, Google+, Yahoo and YouTube. The number of views, shares, and other forms of social media engagement methods will contribute to the rank of the performer.
Here’s a sneak-peak into the various categories, and their corresponding nominees:
