Earlier today (November 11, 2024), QTCinderella announced the list of nominees for various categories, which includes the highly coveted Streamer of the Year award.
The following content creators have been nominated for the flagship category at The Streamer Awards 2024:
- Darren "IShowSpeed" Watkins Jr.
- Kai Cenat
- Emily "Emiru" Schunk
- Jason Thor "Pirate Software" Hall
- Marc "Caedrel" Lamont
While many fans were delighted to see their favorite streamer nominated for Streamer of the Year, some netizens expressed their disappointment.
A reaction thread on the r/LivestreamFail subreddit has garnered significant traction, with one Redditor questioning why Pirate Software and Emiru were nominated in the category.
"Honest question here, how are PirateSoftware and Emiru even up for nomination?" commented Redditor u/Diidoompdomp.
Redditor u/digitalpizza5 wondered whether the nominations were "tampered with."
"Emiru gets a Streamer of the Year nom, but not one for female Streamer of the Year? Surely, these nominations aren't being tampered with," remarked u/digitalpizza5.
Meanwhile, Redditor u/TrickyGoon expressed their intention to vote for Kai Cenat at The Streamer Awards 2024.
"Voting for Kai because it'd be funny af to see him go up on stage after winning every award. xD," wrote u/TrickyGoon.
Several netizens on X have also shared their thoughts on the content creators nominated for the Streamer of the Year category.
"Kai, Speed, and Pirate really were the best this year," said X user @goodguypurp.
"They should give it to both Speed and Kai, ngl (not going to lie)," commented @inhuman.
"Piratesoftware, but that's because his type of content is the kind I enjoy most out of those choices. Kai would be my second choice. *Note to self* Look up Caedrel," wrote @TheKingofGuam.
"Me hoping that Caedrel wins!" said @richie_farley1.
