2010 Reception Controversy
The 2010 awards presentation was poorly received by audience members, viewers, and sponsors. Most complaints were in regards to technical problems and lewd jokes. At one point, two streakers rushed the stage. During the presentation, Shay Butler of SHAYTARDS and "HiimRawn" interrupted and molested Chris Hardwick and Lisa Donovan. This caused the International Academy of Web Television to depart from the presentation of the award show, resulting in a two year hiatus of the Streamys and the formation of the IAWTV Awards.

They warn him right then. What does he do next? Goes to a reception at von Ribbentropf’s and keeps yelling for gefilte fish!”
