7th Annual Streamy Awards: Casey Neistat, Lilly Singh Among Nominees

The nominations for the 7th Annual Streamy Awards were announced today, but instead of doing the traditional ceremony where someone stands at a podium and reads a long list of names, the nominees were announced exclusively via the Streamy Awards Twitter account — an appropriate platform for the digital video accolade.

The Streamy Awards, which is produced by dick clark productions, will take place at 9:30PM ET/6:30PM PT on September 26 at the Beverly Hilton. The event honors the best in online video and the creators behind it. The annual event brings together the biggest names in YouTube and online video for a night of celebration, discovery, and meaningful recognition. This year marks the first ever installment of “The Purpose Awards,” an annual event recognizing individuals and organizations making a difference in their communities and positively impacting humankind, which will take place during Streamy week on Sept. 25.

This year, there have been updates to the awards ceremony to reflect the current state of online programming. There is a greater emphasis on original series with the addition of Comedy and Drama Series awards. The Streamy Awards have also removed gender distinction in the performance categories. In addition, select categories encompassed submissions from creators who distribute video primarily via social media platforms

YouTube personality and filmmaker Casey Neistat and go90’s original series Mr. Student Body President lead with six nominations each. Garnering four nominations each are the drama series Caught, multi-hyphenate Lilly Singh, and Steven Suptic’s Sugar Pine 7. Additional nominees include Cameron Dallas, Dolan Twins, FENTY PUMA by Rihanna, Kevin Durant, Lele Pons, Liza Koshy, Logan Paul and more

The full list of nominees is included below.
