Eminem, Macklemore top inaugural YouTube Music Awards

Crying babies, Win Butler's Kanye moment, a faked double suicide, face painting, a makeup-free Lady Gaga in plaid and a trucker's cap.


There were a host of unexpected moments at the first YouTube Music Awards, as imagined by Spike Jonze and carried off by the odd couple hosts Jason Schwartzman and Reggie Watts.


Eminem won artist of the year. Taylor Swift and Macklemore & Ryan Lewis were among the winners during Sunday night's live webcast from New York.


But the awards were secondary as Jonze and others directed live videos with Eminem, Gaga, M.I.A. and Earl Sweatshirt.


Meanwhile, Schwartzman and Watts careened about the soundstage without a script and only notecards to point the way.
