The winners are in! Youtube Awards go on their second edition this years, and many awards have been given to various videos in different categories, including best music video, best instructional video and … best adorable video.

But among all of them, the one everybody’s talking about – again – is Chocolate Rain by Tay Zonday. Zonday, 25 went form unknown to a star in just days, and his song was even used on TV. He’s pretty happy with the award.

“It’s definitely exciting to receive a YouTube Video Award,” said Zonday. “YouTube’s provided me with a place to experiment, showcase my creativity and share my identity. It’s really an honor to get a YouTube Video Award. I’m looking forward to seeing future winners.”

Here’s his video in case you missed it:

He also talks about what he thinks of the new generation of awards with Associated Press:

“It’s the new Emmys,” Zonday, 25, said of the video-sharing site’s awards in a telephone interview with 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).”

Other winner include:

Laughing Baby
