A relatively new award show is generating a lot of buzz, as it should as more and more people are seeking alternate methods to get their humor, information, human oddities, news, food and lifestyle tips, political incorrect bits, cute visuals, dramas, shock value items, cultural insights and more, all by way of streaming.
The 7th Annual Streamy Awards took place on Sept. 26 at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles, California to celebrate excellence in online video. The show was hosted by popular YouTube personality/musician, vlogger Jon Cozart, also known by the name of Paint. Top winners of the night include Steven Suptic’s Sugar Pine 7 for Show of the Year and the Dolan Twins were named Creator of the Year and streamed live on Twitter.

The Streamy Awards, affectionately called the Streamys, came about in 2009 thanks to executive producers Drew Baldwin, Brady Brim-DeForest and Marc Hustvedt of Tubefilter and Joshua Cohen and Jamison Tilsner of Tilzy.tv. In 2013, Tubefilter was joined by Dick Clark productions to produce the Streamys.

This award recognizes excellence in all areas of online video including acting, directing, producing and writing. More than 30 awards are presented annually in the categories such as comedy, lifestyle, food, branded video or series, acting in comedy and drama, ensemble cast, breakthrough creator and more. They also have the Purpose Awards that celebrate creators, brands and nonprofits that make a difference in their communities and making the world a better place.
Some categories actually feature a fan voted category where people were encouraged to vote from Sept. 12 through Sept. 26.
The Streamy Premiere Awards went out last Sunday with Ariana Grande, Honest Trailers with Ryan Reynolds and The Young Turks being among the award winners.
Something a bit odd to note is that five out of the ten nominees for Creator of the Year were not present for the awards. Maybe they all will choose to show up for the 10th year of the show? However, many of the winners and losers will likely vlog about it soon.
