The award itself is not the prize, but the increased attention SNSD will get on Youtube and in the global media for winning.
Good job SONEs, the girls really deserved to win. But, did you see it? The audience was shocked, sepulchral silence. I’m sure they was waiting for Lady Gaga to get the award :)
