Dr Disrespect & Amouranth missing in Streamy ‘Streamer of the Year’ nominees
Instagram: Valkyrae, Pokimane, HasanabiThe official Streamy Awards 2022 nominees have been announced for ‘Streamer of the Year’ but fans of Dr Disrespect and Amouranth shouldn’t get too excited.
This year’s Stream Awards will be held on December 1 and will be streamed on the event’s official YouTube channel for viewers around the world.
That does not mean that the picks are just from YouTube, though, as Twitch streamers have also been selected for the top award.
Streamy Awards nominees for ‘Streamer of the Year’
The official Streamy Awards Twitter account released a selection of nominations on October 27, and it’s a star-studded list to say the least.
They have chosen the following:
- HasanAbi
- iShowSpeed
- Kai Cenat
- Kyedae
- Ludwig
- Pokimane
- Quackity
- tarik
- Valkyrae
- xQc
Nominees respond to Streamer of the Year list
Hasan commented on the post, saying: “Okay this list is insane tho.”
Ludwig was quick to point out an observation he had with the nominations as well.
He tweeted: “Surprised that this list is NA only- especially when international talent pushes the community in a lot of ways it would be cool if there was at least a category for international streamers.”
The ‘Streamer of the Year’ nominations do not include Dr Disrespect and Amouranth – both based in the United States – and as Ludwig mentioned, multiple high-profile creators from other regions appear to have been snubbed from this specific pool, too.
Other categories for the Streamy Awards include Creator of the Year, Show of the Year, International, Short Form, Breakout Creator, Breakout Streamer, Creator for Social Good, Best Collaboration, and more. Among those, TikTok stars Addison Rae, Charli D’Amelio, and others are named for contention.
