Artists nominated across the award categories — Video of the Year, Artist of the Year, YouTube Phenomenon, YouTube Breakthrough and Innovation of the Year — include PSY, Lady Gaga, Girls’ Generation and Kendrick Lamar. It’s not all stars though, an additional category — Response of the Year — shines light on fans whose remixes of songs proved popular.
