The Streamy Awards, which celebrates the achievements and successes of online media, returned to Los Angeles this year on Sunday, Aug. 27. While the award show began in 2009 to recognize web series, it’s now branched out to encompass creators across platforms and continues to honor digital creators in categories like music, beauty, comedy, food and gaming.
The annual awards show delivered a star-studded lineup for its 13th ceremony, and included presenters Dylan Mulvaney, Drew Afualo, Delaney Rowe, Kris Collins, Pinkydoll, Anna Sitar, Brianna Chickenfry and xQc. Seven-time Streamy-winner MatPat, who is best known for creating the award-winning YouTube channel The Game Theorists, hosted the evening. Mr. Beast led the nominations with five noms going into the ceremony, and took home Creator of the Year for the fourth year in a row, while Michelle Khare won Show of the Year for Challenge Accepted and Dylan Mulvaney took home the honor of Breakout Creator.
In addition to major voices in the creator sphere like Amelia Dimoldenberg of Chicken Shop Date, TikTok star Chris Olsen, and makeup guru Mikayla Nogueira, the show also nominated newcomers to the scene: including food connoisseur Keith Lee and one TikTok’s favorite new comedians, Jake Shane. (Disclosure: Dick Clark Productions, which owns the Streamys, is owned by Rolling Stone’s parent company, Penske Media Corporation.)
The 2023 Streamys was also the first year the award show presented the Rolling Stone Sound of the Year award, which recognized the top songs that dominated social platforms. Meghan Trainor took home the trophy for “Made You Look,” while nominees included Kaliii, PinkPantheress, Ice Spice, Doechii, Coi Leray, Armani White, d4vd, Sam Smith, and Kim Petras. (Disclosure: Dick Clark Productions, which owns the Streamys, is owned by Rolling Stone’s parent company, Penske Media Corporation.)
“I’m immensely proud to be a part of the Streamys this year,” said MatPat prior to awards night. “Right now, we’re at an inflection point for the industry, so we’ve designed this year’s show to embody all the wild and weird moments that have defined the last fifteen years of digital content. It’s both a time of nostalgia as well as looking ahead to the future, and as a result, this year’s show will have something for everyone…a Greatest Hits of Online Video, if you will.”
