The Streamer Awards, which happen to be the first-ever streamer-oriented awards show, are back for the 2025 ride. Broadcast live on December 6, 2025, at 3 pm PT, the popular affair was held at the Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles, California, with QTCinderella, aka Blaire, and Maya Higa as the evening’s hosts.

Indie rock band Good Kid, VTuber Ironmouse & MarcoMeatball and American R&B icon Ty Dolla $ign took the LA stage as A-list performers over the weekend.

Even if you’re not necessarily a fan of the boom of live streamers and digital media personalities, it’s hard to ignore high-profile names like Kai Cenat (or KaiCenat) and IShowSpeed (aka Darren Jason Watkins Jr or Speed) from the real-time viral fame era.

Cenat, who is known for his one-of-a-kind comedic personality and unexpected collaborations with top celebrities and public figures across walks of life, was leading the event with the most nominations ahead of the live ceremony. Even with the show still ongoing, he had already leapt ahead of other streamers to take home the most number of trophies from the Streamer Awards 2025.

However, Cenat lost his past consecutive two-year streak, as he wasn’t the one to bag the biggest award of the night – Streamer of the Year! Scroll down to find out who did.
