An e-mailing ninja, a band dancing on treadmills and a ranting nude man were winners of the first YouTube Video Awards.

Chicago rock band OK Go won the most creative video category for dancing, skipping and tripping over eight moving treadmills in the video for their song Here We Go Again.

The clip has been watched more than 13million times on the site.

Canadian Wine Kone beat elderly British war veteran Peter Oakley (aka Geriatric1927) to the best commentary award, with an eightminute ramble about the heat as he sat half-naked at his computer.

Mr Oakley, 79, of Leicester, has become known as the Internet's favourite grandfather since posting his first video about life during World War II.

Best series went to Los Angeles duo Kent Nichols and Douglas Sarine for their Ask A Ninja films, featuring their regular sign-off: 'I look forward to killing you soon.'

The series beat one of YouTube's biggest names, Lonelygirl15, the blog of a fictional American girl played by Jessica Rose.

Smosh, a film about a drug user sitting on a beach and hallucinating that he is on a desert island, earned students Anthony Padilla and Ian Hecox the best comedy trophy.

Footage of a man offering 'free hugs' to strangers took the prize for the most inspirational video.

An animated short about a kiwi dreaming about flying was picked as the most adorable.

YouTube marketing boss Jamie Byrne said: 'As the masses learned about online video, many of the creators of these videos established themselves as personalities, going from the seemingly unknown to international celebrity, overnight.'
