The YouTubscars? The YouTube site now has its own version of the Oscars, with its inaugural YouTube Awards, which honored the best user-generated videos of 2006. The band OK Go won for most creative video, in which the members dance to their song “Here it Goes Again” on treadmills. Another winner was “Ask a Ninja” for best series. “It’s a simple concept,” said Jamie Byrne, head of product marketing for YouTube. “One ninja, one question submitted by a fan and he asks questions about how best to kill someone and stuff like that.” Ummm
