It’s that time of the year again, that time when red carpets are walked, tears are cried, and self-important editorial boards hand out nominations to worthy recipients. Yahoo! Video is no exception. It’s time for the 2008 Yahoo! Video Awards. Each day this week we’ll be announcing nominations in seven different categories: Best Comedy Video, Best New Uploader, Best Internet Personality, Best Series, Best (totally) Indie Music Video, Best Animation, and Best Non-Fiction Video.

Unlike other tacky awards ceremonies, we’re letting you, the fans, vote. We’ll be using our amazing new embeddable playlists to showcase the nominees in each category. So if you’re nominated, or you’re a fan of someone who is, we invite you to place an embeddable playlist on your webpage or blog. Additionally, nominees will receive a little nomination badge that will link back to the blog entry where the voting is taking place.

One last bit about our nomination process: We only chose videos uploaded by creators in the year 2007. And the decisions were not easy. There was a lot of strong work in all categories.

Our first category is Best Comedy Video. So view the nominees and begin voting!

Make sure to check out our Yahoo! Video Awards network page for all the nominees as they’re announced.
