Online Video’s Brightest Stars Big Win At Streamy Awards

The web video stars were out in full force on February 17th as Tubefilter and dick clark productions handed out the Streamy Awards, celebrating the best video content the Internet has to offer. In the end, 35 winners took home the hardware in front of hundreds of attendees at the Hollywood Palladium.

The big winners were Burning Love, which won four awards including Best Comedy Series and Best Male Actor: Comedy for its star, Ken Marino; Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn, which added the Streamy for Best Drama Series to its three technical wins; Grace Helbig, who won Best First Person Series and the Audience Choice Award for Personality of the Year for her DailyGrace vlog; and Philip DeFranco, won Best News and Culture Series for The Philip DeFranco Show while his SourceFed program took home the Audience Choice Award for Series of the Year.
