Audioslave "Be Yourself" Epic/InterscopeFrancis Lawrence, directorCaleb Dewart, producerDNA, production coDescription: A gorgeous performance video as confident, simple and restrained as this song from the supergroup Audioslave. Tricky camerawork captures all the little details, such as guitarist Tom Morello rocking a Wah pedal during the solo, while a constantly shifting focus point and warm lighting effects propel the video until a climax in which large lightboards flicker in time with the beat.

Kelly Osbourne "One Word" SanctuaryChris Applebaum, directorJohn Hardin, producerPartizan, production companyStopmbox, repPierre Rouger, DPNabil Mechi, editorDescription: Kelly Osbourne leaves behind her pop/punk teen angst for something much more existential. The video for this cold electronic pop song stars Kelly in an equally cold and robotic world that seems taken directly from a creepy French new wave flick. When not documenting the ennui of society with her camera, the singer takes subtle steps to spread a message of resistance.
