MTV finally created an awards show to support categories like �best music hashtag meme,� �most viral dance� and �favorite f- yeah Tumblr.�
The O Music Awards, announced on Tuesday, will be presented in a live web cast on omusicawards.com come April 28. The digital awards show will honor digital music and the web.
�Your life is online, your music is digital, and that�s worth celebrating,� MTV writes on the awards show�s web site.
Each of the 19 categories � ranging from best fan cover to must follow artist on Twitter � boast a different number of nominees. By logging in to Twitter or Facebook, people are able to vote for one of the nominees listed, or submit a new candidate of their choosing.
Are you planning on voting? You might have to act fast. Each category closes at a different time � some in just 10 days.
Favorite animated GIF - a file comprised of different images that are displayed on repeat - is one category we�ve never seen presented at the Kodak Theatre. The nominees in the web-specific category include Lady Gaga�s �Finger Lickin Good,� Nicki Minaj�s �Gum Twirl,� Rihanna and Katy Perry�s �Catgfight� and 50 Cent, Rebecca Black and Bert�s �Which Seat Can I Take?� - among others.
That�s right - viral sensation Rebecca Black is nominated for an O Music Award.
The �O,� which most commonly refers to �online,� �has been purposely left open to interpretation to generate a reaction and spur conversation,� according to a statement Wired obtained from the network.
Will you tune in to the web on April 28 to watch the first ever O Music Awards?
