YouTube hosted its first awards show tonight. I've only seen a few minutes of the live stream, but it seemed pretty weird. Or cheap. Yeah, I think that's the word I wanted.
The most interesting thing to come out of the show was Girls' Generation's "I Got A Boy" winning Video of the Year.

The competition for video of the year included Justin Bieber's "Beauty and a Beat," Miley Cyrus' "We Can't Stop," and One Direction's "Best Song Ever." Even though the winners were apparently based on fan votes, something at which kpop fans have proven their mastery, they had their work cut out for them against equally rapid Beliebers and Directioners and whatever other -ers were also voting.
But yeah, I'm torn about this. I don't particularly like "I Got A Boy" winning anything, but I don't like any of the other songs, either.
Here's Tiffany's acceptance speech. Warning: It's a bit cringe-tastic.

It surprised many, I believe.
