The 2nd Annual Streamy Awards: The Winners

Finally, after months of preparation, after thousands of Twitter nominations were parsed down to hundreds of shortlist nominees which were then trimmed down to the list of official nominees, the International Academy of Web Television announced the winners of the 2nd Annual Streamy Awards during a live ceremony hosted by actor and comedian Paul Scheer at the Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles. There were quite a few unexpected twists and turns along the way but a brave crowd held their own for the 3 plus hour ceremony celebrating the best and brightest in New Media.

Over 1300 digital entertainment leaders as well as a live global online audience gathered together to celebrate the best in web television programming. The live online broadcast offered closed captioning in five languages. Among attendees and participants were: Streamy Visionary Award Honoree Chad Hurley (CEO, YouTube), Bernie Su, Chris Hardwick, Illeana Douglas, Tony Hale, David Faustino, Robert Englund, Al Thompson, Tatyana Ali, Jaleel White, Jason & Randy Sklar, Eric Balfour, Julie Benz, David Henrie, Justine Bateman, Patrick Duffy, Kevin Pollak, Crystal Chappell, Danielle Harris, Rob Huebel, and top Internet stars Ryan Higa, iJustine, Kevin Rose, Alex Albrecht, Felicia Day, Pete Cashmore, The Fine Brothers, Shane Dawson, Lisa Donavan, Zoe Bell and Nick Kroll.

More extensive coverage of the event will be coming in the next few days (you know, after the real stories that come out of a long night of afterparties…can we expect more streaking? Can we handle any more?), but Tubefilter wanted to be sure to get you the official results.

Please note this includes the complete list of Streamy Craft Award winners, which were presented on Wednesday, April 7th.
