I guess the Anchors were like the Golden Globes to YouTube's Oscars. Vote for your favorites here: www.youtube.com/ytawards |

You can vote now. The only nomination for lg15 is for "best series" (using My First Kiss as the proxy video for the series). Its an odd voting format where you have to order the 10 nominees in each category (many of which i have little or no knowledge of in many of the categories) in the order you want, and then submit your ordering.
FYI. Soup of the Day is also listed under Best Series. So, e.g, i voted lg15 #1, and soup of the day #2.
it looks like you can vote hourly.

This voting system is idiotic. You mean I have to watch 10 videos in order to actually vote?! Presumably it's to make sure people see everything and just don't vote their favs and ignore the rest, but if you want to vote right down the ballot you'd literally have to watch like 70 videos. Who has the time for that? Also WHAT is with the total oversight of the Liam Kyle Sullivan video?! I understand his hilarious "Shoes" has a bit too colorful language throughout to make it nominatable, however what about Muffins, which I included below?! It's totally innocent, and yet hilarious and creepy, and with over 8 MILLION views it dwarfs any stupid thing by smosh in comparison. (Not to mention the fact various people have uploaded it and these others have the odd 1 or 2 million views as well.) Seriously what's with this?! www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNxwAU_xAMk |

I just wanted to point out that YouTube is now having a sketch comedy contest, AND THEY ARE USING THE EXACT SAME VOTING SYSTEM. Only this time you have 40 minutes to sort through 20 videos and rank them exactly as you wanted.
Who wants to take bets that one listed first "News Team" by jackbenny will win? Does youtube actually expect fans of 20th ranked "Quake Flakes" by pacoromane to clip the up button about 20 times to get that up to first?! Actually I see now that there is a move to top button, but if one only likes one video and ignores the rest than Quake Flakes automatically gets second place points, whatever that may be as I don't know if they've ever explained how these contests actually work.
This is utterly unfair, but hey they are billionaires and can do whatever the heck they want with their stupid fixed contests I guess. This is round one, so Smosh still might be appearing (I'm pretty sure of it), but I'm glad to see so far in round one they aren't in the list, let alone listed first so they can get a cheap win. Another favorite LisaNova is listed second though so she's got a good chance of winning as well.
