Are there previews of AGS awards 2012 or older in videos?
AFAIK, AGS Awards Ceremony 2012 was held on a default IRC program. So, you'll have to read the log of that one. :)
Regarding the earlier ceremonies' videos: probably there are some out there but you'll not like them because many of those ceremonies had lesbians' jokes.
Cut it out, Adeel. I know you're just making a joke, but that subject has been dropped now.
Not entirely sure, but wasn't one of the first ceremonies even entered into the database as a GAME file? I'll check, I remember I did some artwork for that. Will put up the link here if I can find it. Or if someone's quicker... ;)

edit:
I just realised that you specifically asked for 2012. :X But it's still a very nice ceremony, the 2008 one.
Before the live IRC AGS Game ceremony, there were a couple of years when the whole thing was a regular AGS game. Well, "game"; it consisted 100% of a non-interactive cut-scene. That's probably what's in the db. (Edit: Confirmed)
I don' think the first AGS/IRC ceremony (for the 2010 awards, I think) was recorded: as far as I can recall there's just the chat log. But I'm pretty sure the second (for the 2011 awards) was, and I might even have the video lying around somewhere. (As Adeel says, the 2012 awards were just held over IRC.)
Since I am a big fan of it

I saved the video recording of the 2 hours from the AGS Awards 2010 live ceremony

... and also a 5 min. snippet from the AGS Awards 2011 live-ceremony.
So if someome is interested I can upload it (just needs a bit of time because of my super-duper-connection (roll) ).
I uploaded the 2010 ceremony to Youtube:

Unless, I'm mistaken, we've had the awards on a game 3 times now, this one being the third, and since I was sure this one and the third one were recorded, do we have a recording of the second one? 2011 I believe.
