The Gagaism Awards: Winners Announced
The results are in! After weeks of voting, Lady Gaga's little monsters have chosen their favorite things about her Born This Way era. Categories of the Gagaism Awards encompassed Gaga's music, videos, fashion choices, and live performances. Some categories even recognized the little monsters themselves, for things such as Lady Gaga cover songs and fan art.
Listed below are some of the highlights of the awards. (The full list of nominees and winners can be found here.)

There are a few interesting notes to be made about the winners. One, Gaga understands her fan base better than the media. While Gaga's appearance as Jo Calderone was anything but a hit with critics (one went so far as to call it a "brand destroyer"), the fans apparently loved it, voting the costume the most iconic of Gaga's Born This Way album cycle. Two, 'Scheiße' and 'Bloody Mary' were clear fan favorites of Born This Way, both winning multiple awards. And three, Mother Monster's intense creative energy seems to have rubbed off on her little monsters.
