Liza on Demand and Shane Dawson led the winners of the 2018 Streamy Awards.
YouTube Premium’s web series, created by Deborah Kaplan, Harry Elfont, and Liza Koshy, follows the misadventures of Liza, as she takes on odd jobs and tasks in her quest to become an “elite tasker”. It premiered on YouTube’s subscription streaming service earlier this year, before being nominated in this year’s Streamys for Comedy Series and Acting in a Comedy for Koshy, who also stars. Last night, the series won both prizes at the 8th annual awards, which are produced by Tubefilter and Dick Clark Productions and celebrate the best in online video.
Shane Dawson was the other big winner of the night, winning three prizes, including Creator of the Year, which is voted for by audiences. The Try Guys won the Show of the Year award, also voted for by the public. Vlogger David Dobrik went into the ceremony as the favourite, with six nominations. He won two prizes: the First Person award, and also the Ensemble Cast prize. Other notable winners include Todd the Hero Dog, who was crowned Dog of the Year.
The ceremony, which was hosted by The Try Guys, was streamed live on YouTube in the wee small hours of the UK morning, after being broadcast by Twitter in 2017. The biggest names in online video and beyond came out to celebrate at the Beverly Hilton for this year’s show. The presenter list included Kalen Allen, BlameItOnKway, Molly Burke, Dobre Brothers, Miles Brown, Sofie Dossi, Teala Dunn, Eva Gutowski, Hannah Hart, Mamrie Hart, Gabbie Hanna, Grace Helbig, Katie Angel, Katya & Trixie, Gus Kenworthy, Liza Koshy, The Cast of Ladylike, LaurDIY, Annie LeBlanc, Elle Mills, Laura Marano, Tana Mongeau, Jason Nash, Tyler Oakley, Anthony Padilla, Trisha Paytas, Poppy, Andrea Russett, Patrick Starrr, Alyson Stoner, Members of the Sugar Pine 7 cast, Christine Sydelko, Nick Viall, Sebastian Villalobos and Alex Wassabi.
