The winners of the 2010 Streamy Awards were announced in a ceremony in Los Angeles this evening. We’ve got the complete list of winners below.
The Streamys are awarded to web TV series by the International Academy of Web Television — they’re similar to the Oscars, Emmys or Grammys.
Crackle’s The Bannen Way (which we recently profiled) took away Best Drama Web Series, Best Directing for a Drama Web Series and Best Male Actor in a Drama Web Series while Funny or Die’s Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis landed Best Comedy Web Series and Best Male Actor in a Comedy Web Series.
The Guild walked away with Best Female Actor and Best Directing for a Comedy Web Series. The Audience Choice Award went to Agents of Cracked, and Anyone But Me’s Rachel Hip-Flores won Best Female Actor in a Drama Web Series.
The ceremony was streamed live on the web, so Twitter users have been reacting in real-time to each reveal.
The consensus is that ceremony didn’t go swimmingly. It was marred with technical challenges, timing problems, and humor that just wasn’t funny, judging from the responses of Twitter users and a sometimes silent audience. The most common complaint was that the ceremony was filled to the brim with crude or sexist humor; many viewers felt that this was a setback for content makers who want to be taken seriously.
Did you watch the ceremony? Do you think it was appropriate, or do you think it was a misfire? And do you agree with the winners who were selected? Let us know in the comments.
