YouTube.com announced on Friday the winners of the site’s annual awards. YouTube users voted the winners of the following categories: music, sports, comedy, instructional, short film, inspirational, commentary, creative, politics, series, eyewitness and "adorable." There were six nominees for each category.

The music award went to Tay Zonday for his song "Chocolate Rain" which proved to be very catchy last year. Zonday turned from an unknown musician into an Internet superstar in not time thanks to the Internet video-sharing site. "It's the new Emmys," said the 25-year-old for The Associated Press. "It's the next Oscars. The next People's Choice Awards. It'll be interesting to see what happens five years, 10 years (from now)," he added.

The best comedy award went to Neil Cicierega's video featuring "Harry Potter" hand puppets, while Guillaume Reymond received the YouTube most creative video award for his "Human Tetris".

The commentary category was also highly disputed between Chris Crocker, with his video over Britney Spears' public meltdown, and Michael Buckley, who actually won the award with a clip from the online show "What the Buck?”

Amber Lee Ettinger - YouTube name: the Obama girl – didn’t win the politics category with her 7-million-views video "I Got A Crush On Obama". She lost to the global organization avaaz.org which made a better impression with its video called "Stop the Clash of Civilizations". "Battle at Kruger", which shows a baby water buffalo surviving a lion attack, was viewed 26 million times and won the award for best eyewitness video.

The best short film posted on YouTube in 2007 was Ben Shelton's "My Name is Lisa", a touching video of a girl and her mom who’s suffering from Alzheimer's. This category was introduced this year.

"The Guild," a funny series of videos about a group of inline gamers won the best Web series award, while the best sports video award went to "Balloon Bowl", a clip depicting a man skateboarding in a balloon-filled bowl.

"Laughing Baby" was voted the best most adorable video on YouTube, while Dan Brown's "How to Solve a Rubik's Cube (Part One)" won the best instructional video award. "These are the (videos) that really will stand out and over time, you know, you'll say, `Hey, do you remember the Laughing Baby'?" said YouTube spokesperson Aaron Ferstman.
