While we’re a bit sad that Animal Collective fans didn’t win the award for Best Fan Forum, the winners of MTV’s first O Music Awards — streamed live from Las Vegas on Thursday night — all embodied the concept: The digital music space is open as much as it is ongoing, and ever-evolving. Here’s a roundup of OMA winners announced throughout this week.

In the Best Tweet category, Kanye West edged out, well, himself, with this brilliant statement: “I hate when I’m on a flight and I wake up with a water bottle next to me like oh great now I gotta be responsible for this water bottle.” [O Music Awards]
Chiddy of Chiddy Bang set a new Guiness World Record for longest Freestyle, clocking in at nine hours, 18 minutes and 22 seconds. Congrats! [MTV]
