We announced big news about the Streamy Awards over a year ago. We told you we teamed up with dick clark productions - the producers behind The Golden Globes, American Music Awards, Academy of Country Music Awards, New Year?s Rockin? Eve, and more perennial and iconic entertainment properties - to do two things: Continue Dick Clark?s legacy of shining the spotlight on established, new, undiscovered, and burgeoning talent. Bring back the awards show we started in 2009 that honors the best of online video and the people who make it. A lot?s happened since then. As Tubefilter?s Drew Baldwin told Variety late last night, the speed at which the online video industry is developed is staggering. In the past twelve months alone we?ve seen upwards of a quarter-billion dollars invested in the creation and promotion of online original programming. And that?s just from YouTube. Major entertainment distributors (like Netflix and Hulu), online video destinations (like AOL, Yahoo, and Blip), and the digital divisions of major motion picture studios and television networks (like Disney, Warner Premiere, and Paramount Digital) have followed suit. Together with new media studios (like Maker, My Damn Channel, Alloy, Big Frame, The Collective, Machinima, Fullscreen, Revision3, and more) and the tens of thousands of independent content creators (who devote hundreds of thousands of hours to their dreams of becoming the next Kevin Tancharoen, Lizzie Bennet, iJustine, NicePeter, Vlog Brothers, Phil DeFranco, Felicia Day or whomever their most highly esteemed online video content creator may be), the've invested hundreds of millions of dollars more to bring quality online entertainment to the internet connected masses. And as the investment in the online video space has been on a steady trajectory of booming, so has the quality of the content. Major motion picture studio-backed and basement-born productions have all produced libraries of programming that continue to look, sound, and watch better than they ever have before
