"Shounen Bushido".
By God, that is the best (or worst?) example of a Pander (as in, "Pandering to the anime fan") video that I've ever seen. By that example "It's Tricky To Make a Music Video", another Pander video, should have been "Video of the Year" last year. Now I have to give credit where credit is due, and that Shounen Bushido is a fun AMV and a wonderfully edited video (but too much lip sync for even me to bear, and I've seen "Sappy Self Indulgence" a million times!).... but "Video of the Year"?
Well, there's no denying it, no matter what others may say -- videos with (well-executed) special effects are exponentially more likely to win awards than videos that use few or no special effects at all. This is why I enter contests to be nominated; at least with the nomination my work has been validated by the judges.... but constantly seeing nominated videos with tons of special effects in contests really discourages me sometimes-- especially when your own video doesn't make the final cut. *sigh*
This is all just my opinion. Make of it what you will.
So the Video of the Year in this year's VCAs is....

Viewer's Choice.
Viewer.
I leave the relevance and significance of that sentence decomposition as an exercise for whoever reads this. Hopefully, it's not too hard to figure out.
