Julia Stiles of Hulu's Blue, Anthony Anderson of AOL On's Anthony Eats America, Kid President of Soul Pancake, David Arquette of Crackle's Cleaners and YouTube star Tyler Oakley are just some of the nominees for this year's Streamy Awards, which have been announced by Dick Clark Productions and Tubefilter.
The Streamy Awards recognize excellence in original online video in 47 categories, including audience choice award. Fourteen category winners will be announced at The Beverly Hilton on Sept. 7 at 10:30 p.m. ET/7:30 p.m PT and that celebration of the 4th Annual Streamy Awards, presented by Coca-Cola, will be streamed live at www.streamys.org. Winners in the remaining categories will be revealed ahead of the live-stream at a reception Sept. 4 at YouTube Space LA.
New categories this year include gaming, beauty, sports, pranks and Vine video. Also, traditional television shows (including NBC's Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon and ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live) that are engaging audiences with use of online video and best practices in social media are up for an award in a special category.
There are other big names among the list of nominees: Jerry Seinfeld's Crackle.com series Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee is a nominee in the non-fiction/reality category. And The Fault in Our Stars author John Green's Mental Floss series on YouTube is up for an award in the science and education category.
