It was a great night for AAPI (Asian American and Pacific Islander) entertainment at the 2021 People’s Choice Awards.
Not only did Marvel Studios‘ first Asian-led superhero film Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings beat out multiple other blockbusters, including fellow MCU film Black Widow for “The Action Movie of 2021…”
It's simple #PCAs math: 1⃣ all-star cast

Its star Simu Liu won the award for “The Action Movie Star of 2021!” He beat fellow Marvel stars Scarlett Johansson, Chris Pratt, and Florence Pugh, as well as Vin Diesel, Daniel Craig, John Cena, and Charlize Theron.
When we say Simu, you say Liu.

Also, Mindy Kaling‘s Netflix series Never Have I Ever won “The Comedy Show of 2021” (as it should).

The annual pop-culture awards show aired on NBC and E!, broadcasted from Barker Hanger in Santa Monica, California, as comedian Kenan Thompson hosted. Since it’s a fan-voted awards show, spanning 40 categories across multiple forms of entertainment, such as music, TV, film, and more, the peoples’ voices are heard. And the people are looking for more diversity on screen.
This also means not all the content we consume is from the United States. In fact, four of the 2021 People’s Choice Awards biggest awards went to South Korea.
As expected, Marvel continually swept in categories as Disney+ series Loki won “The Show of 2021” and lead Tom Hiddleston won “The Male TV Star of 2021.”
This is the official shoutout to everyone who helps @twhiddleston wake up in the mornings! #PCAs pic.twitter.com/lNcqwc19RE

Yet, Loki was beaten by Netflix’s Korean thriller series Squid Game for “The Bingeworthy Show of 2021.” It was up against Ted Lasso, The White Lotus, Sex/Life, Outer Banks, Mare of Easttown, and Cobra Kai.
Don’t worry, it takes wayyy less violence to win #TheBingeworthyShow of 2021 than it takes to win Squid Game.

Finally, “Butter” is more than just “song of the summer,” it’s the song of the whole year!
