The poor reception of the event,[3] and the surrounding controversy,[4] resulted in a two-year hiatus for the Streamy Awards, and the subsequent creation of the IAWTV Awards.[5] The two awards ceremonies are both still running annually, though as completely separate entities.[6]

Winners and nominees

The nominees were announced on March 1 by web celebrity Shira Lazar and Jim Festante. Winners of the 2nd Annual Streamy Awards were announced on April 11, 2010 at the Orpheum Theatre.[7] Winners of the Craft Awards were held four days earlier (April 7) at the Barnsdall Gallery Theater. They were hosted by Jim Festante.

Reception

The presentation was poorly received.[8] This was due to its several technical failures.[9] Such technical failures included the video How to Get Nominated for a Streamy, created by the Fine Brothers stopping midway through its presentation.[10]

Its execution was also poorly received.[9] Streakers and the "molestation" of Chris Hardwick and Lisa Nova also led to negative reception of the presentation.[9][11] This caused the International Academy of Web Television to depart from the presentation of the award show, resulting in a two-year hiatus of the Streamys.[12]
