MrBeast, the massively popular YouTube creator who is reportedly approaching investors for a fundraising round that values his media empire at $1.5 billion, topped the list of nominees for the 2022 YouTube Streamy Awards for the second year in a row.
The creator, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, received a total of seven nominations, including in the creator of the year, collaboration and creator product categories. He is followed by fellow YouTube creator Mark Rober, who received a total of six nominations for this year’s Streamy Awards and will compete with returning winner MrBeast in the creator of the year category.
Newcomers this year include the true crime podcaster MrBallen (John Allen), who is recognized in the creator of the year, breakout creator, creator for social good and podcast categories. With four nominations, the podcaster — who is about to begin an exclusive deal with Amazon Music next month — is the most-nominated first-time nominee on the list.
Entering its 12th year, the Streamys have also added new gaming-focused categories that recognize top streamers and virtual YouTubers or VTubers.
The 2022 Streamy Awards, produced by Dick Clark Productions and Tubefilter, will take place Dec. 4 at the Beverly Hilton and stream on YouTube. See below for a selection of this year’s nominees.
