The YouTube Music Awards will take place in New York City on Nov. 3 and will be livestreamed online beginning at 6 p.m. ET. Nominees were chosen based on videos that are at the top of their game in terms of views, shares, likes, comments, and subscribers in the last year, but fans can vote on YouTube by sharing specially marked videos on social media. Based on the full list of nominees, we've highlighted the most awesome ones in each of the six categories.

We like the animation techniques that allow singer “Bat for Lashes” (real name Natasha Khan) to create a new world just by exhaling and also transform her into a gold robot figure that resembles C-3PO. Plus, skeletons ride bicycles in this world, and toothless furries watch her every move, evoking Maurice Sendak’s Where the Wild Things Are.
