She clearly LIKED it (as can be seen from her follow-up comment). I'm sure it must be the Cybil AWARDS she's referring to.
From the blog that started them, here's the introduction to their winners' list for 2006 (the first year of the awards) -
"The Children’s and Young Adult Bloggers’ Literary Awards, or Cybils, were won by nine books in eight categories, from picture books to graphic novels and even fantasy and science fiction."
Here's the main site (a blog, of course!):

Now the one problem is that they do NOT include awards for videos... but maybe that commenter does not know that... or thinks they SHOULD.

Cybil was a young woman with multiple personalities. there was a movie about her ( starred sally field ).... so i suppose that is what they could have meant

a 'cybil' is an award that recognizes childrens' and YA books with a mix of literary quality and kid appeal.

..
"The girl's name Cybil \cy-bil\ is pronounced SIH-bul. It is of Greek origin. Variant of Sibyl, the name given in Greek mythology to a prophetess or fortune-teller"
