| The O Music Awards is an awards show presented by Viacom to honor music, technology and intersection between the two. The 1st O Music Awards ceremony was held on April 28, 2011 on Fremont Street in Downtown Las Vegas. The 3rd O Music Awards was held on June 27, 2012. The show continues all year round in the form of a music and tech blog, The O Music Blog, and a New York-based live events series called Unboxed that features music, tech, art and interactivity. Past winners include Spotify, Björk, Way Out West, CrowdJuke and Lady Gaga. The show has also featured up-and-coming acts like Foster The People and Alabama Shakes, as well as icons like The Flaming Lips and Robyn. Running in tandem with the awards and performances, O Music Awards have successfully made its way into the history books by carving out 3 Guinness World Records. During the inaugural O Music Awards in Las Vegas in April 2011, rapper Chiddy of Chiddy Bang snagged Guinness World Records titles for the Longest Freestyle Rap and the Longest Marathon Rapping record after rapping for 9 hours, 16 minutes and 22 seconds. For O Music Awards 2, the show took on an even more ambitious goal: Longest Team Dance Marathon. A group of 13 dancers assembled at LA’s famed club The Roxy on Halloween Eve to take on this epic attempt. Twenty-four hours later, all 13 were still standing and seized the record. The effort also raised more than $32,000 to fight bullying, with the money divided equally between The Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network, The It Gets Better Project, The Gay Straight Alliance Network, Human Rights Campaign, Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation and The Trevor Project. |
