Last week The Streamy Awards returned to The Beverly Hilton, Los Angeles on Sunday, August 27th for the biggest night of the year for digital media creators. Originating in 2009, the award show has evolved over the years from celebrating web series to now cover multiple platforms such as Twitch, YouTube and TikTok as the realm of content creation had expanded over time, as well as continuing to celebrate the work of creators in categories like gaming, comedy, music and many more.
This year saw seven-time Streamy-winner Matthew Patrick step into the role of hosting the evening. Matthew Patrick, who is more commonly referred to as MatPat in the online world, is the creator of award-winning YouTube channel The Game Theorists (@GameTheory), as well as being the creator and host of The Film Theorists (@FilmTheory), The Food Theorists (@FoodTheory), GT Live (@GTLive) and most recently, The Style Theorists (@StyleTheorists). He started the night by honouring the history of content creation before being joined on the stage by multiple presenters throughout the evening, including Dylan Mulvaney, Kris Collins, xQc, Rhett & Link, and Smosh. MatPat also introduced an “In Memoriam” section mourning the loss of The Grimace Shake, Reddit, Twitch and more, as well as a live game of Among Us.
The award show also presented a brand new award this year: the Rolling Stone Sound of the Year Award. The award was introduced to recognise the top songs that had taken over the social media platforms throughout the year and the artists who created them, with Meghan Trainor taking home the award for her hit song “Made You Look.”
Alongside the famous voices of creators such as Smosh, Markiplier, Valkyrae and TikTok star Kris Collins, the 2023 season has also seen the nomination of newcomers to their respective fields including Keith Lee and Dylan Mulvaney in the Breakout Creator category. MrBeast was leading the pack with nominations in five categories including: Creator of the Year; Collaboration; Creator for Social Good; Creator Product; and Streamy’s Brand Awards: Brand Engagement, taking home the Creator of the Year Award for an insane fourth year in a row.
