And the winner for best male performance: a baby who laughs so hard while ripping paper that he falls over.

Actually, the kid won top prize in the "Adorable" category in the second annual YouTube Video Awards. Winners were announced Friday.

It's a voter-driven contest, so already-popular vids have the best chance of winning. Before grabbing top prize, Ethan the happy baby had already scored 10 million views.

"It's the new Emmys," said singer Tay Zonday, who won an award for his bizarre and hypnotic music video, "Chocolate Rain," which has already been morphed into a Dr Pepper ad. "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)."

Winners score a statue and a trip to an awards ceremony, date and place TBD.
