The Twitch streamer Blaire “QTCinderella” is once again hosting her award ceremony, the Streamer Awards. Streamers are nominated in various categories and the corresponding awards are presented at an event. However, there is also criticism of the nominations this year.
What is this award on Twitch? The streamer QTCinderella is the organizer of the award ceremony The Streamer Awards. She established the award in 2022, where various streamers are nominated in different categories. The winners are determined by a combination of community votes and jury votes.
This year’s Streamer Awards will take place on December 6. The entire event can be viewed on QTCinderella’s Twitch channel.
QTCinderella just announced this year’s nominations. The announcement sparked a discussion, and there was a lot of criticism questioning the validity of the nominations.
“They just do nothing”
What is the criticism? The criticism of QTCinderella is diverse from various corners. Many are particularly dissatisfied with the selection of nominees. Since the inception of the award, QTCinderella has been told that she only created this event to give awards to her friends.
Once nominations go to streamers who are in QTCinderella’s “inner circle”, either through friendship and/or collegiality, voices arise accusing the streamer of manipulation.
Especially when her own partner, Ludwig Ahgren, who is also a prominent streamer, is nominated, the streamer is accused of favoritism. Last year, for example, the streamer xQc complained that he was not selected in any of the categories, after being included in the previous three years.
The fans of some streamers are the ones who question the nominations the most when their own favorites are not included.
What is the explanation? QTCinderella is aware of the criticism regarding the nominations. Audiences of “problematic” streamers are always very loud when it comes to the supposedly “missing” nomination of their favorite streamer.
However, QTCinderella states that she does not deliberately exclude streamers; rather, their own fans are the reason. In a clip on X, she says: “As it turns out, your [Editor’s note: the streamers’] fans do not show up. (…) The audience complains every year that [the streamers] were not nominated and then does not make any nominations in the stream or calls for voting. (…) They just do nothing.”
In addition to organizing the Streamer Awards, QTCinderella regularly hosts cooking and baking streams. In a Twitch livestream, she even set a record for baking cookies.
