Here's my guess...The "Free Expression" awards creators needed a presenting sponsor for the cash and the platform required to do the show. In a token of ironic quid pro quo it presented the presenting sponsor with the top award.
From Barstool Sports "Ohios Tate" - "Here to present the award on behalf of my company will be me, and here to accept the award on behalf of my company will also be me"
I read the comments and everyone is all up in arms about YouTube and censorship and what not, but I don't care about any of that. You can't help but respect having your own award show and then giving yourself the top award. Basically say that they have evaluated all candidates and concluded that they are in fact the best. The next step would be for the award-winning CEO to give herself a much deserved raise.
Some of the comments are epic -
