The 2020 Streamy Awards are officially wrapped, having handed out more than 40 awards and honors to top movers and makers in the digital video space.
Like pretty much everything else this year, the tenth annual Streamys looked a little different. Instead of bringing winners onstage at its usual venue, the Beverly Hilton hotel, the Streamys surprised them at home with the help of their friends and fellow creators. In fact, there wasn’t a venue–or a live audience–at all. For the first time, the Streamys (which are produced by dick clark productions and Tubefilter) hit the road, with hosts Trixie Mattel and Katya broadcasting from the Glamtram as it traveled the streets of Los Angeles.
Even 2020 can’t change some things, though. As always, the Streamys featured numerous creator guests, including MrBeast, David Dobrik, Charli and Dixie D’Amelio, Casey Neistat, Mark Rober, James Charles, LaurDIY, MatPat and Stephanie Patrick, Brittany Broski, ZHC, Bretman Rock, Dream, Rebecca Zamolo, Camila Loures, Shalom Blac, and Tabitha Brown. It also featured musical performances from Doja Cat (“Say So”), Lewis Capaldi (“Before You Go”), and Tones and I (“Dance Monkey”).

This year’s most-winning creator was famously generous YouTuber MrBeast (47.5 million subscribers), who snapped up a record four wins: Live Special for his YouTube Original Creator Games, which donated $250,000 to charity; a Social Good Award for his and Mark Rober’s iconic #TeamTrees initiative, which raised more than $20 million for reforestation; a Social Good Award for his efforts with Feeding America, where he donated $1 million worth of food and encouraged fans to give as well; and, last but certainly not least, he was named 2020’s Creator of the Year.
Along with those familiar award categories was a new section, the Streamys Creator Honors. This special category allowed past Streamys winners to present tributes to the creators whose work most affected them this year. Those honored included Brent Rivera (chosen by Juanpa Zurita), CalebCity (Kyle Exum), Elsa Majimbo (Lilly Singh), Laviedunprince (Patrick Starrr), Tyler Cassidy (Liza Koshy), and Kurzgesagt (Marques Brownlee).
