The top award of the night went to the most-watched creator, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, for the second year in a row.
The 2021 YouTube Streamy Awards honored the best in online video Saturday night.
The event, which streamed exclusively on YouTube, featured digital creator and comedian Larray as maser of ceremonies; special guest Issa Twaimz; presenters Charli D’Amelio, Rhett & Link, Brittany Broski and Philip DeFranco; and performers including Ari Lennox, Måneskin, TikTok star Dixie D’Amelio, Addison Rae, Bella Poarch, and Christina “Tinx” Najjar.
Going into the night, Jimmy Donaldson, best known as MrBeast, led the nominations with seven nods. MrBeast ended up picking up two awards, including creator of the year, and tying for the night’s best with Bailey Sarian, Bretman Rock, Mark Rober and The Game Theorists, Matthew Patrick and Justin Kuiper — all who picked up two trophies each.
Bella Poarch took home the coveted breakout creator award.
The 2021 YouTube Streamy Awards are produced by MRC Live & Alternative and Tubefilter. MRC is a co-owner of The Hollywood Reporter through a joint venture, called P-MRC, with Penske Media Corporation.
