The event — which celebrates Asian and Pacific Islander excellence in film, TV and culture — took place Saturday at the Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles, bringing out a slew of big-name honorees including Hamnet director Chloé Zhao, Saturday Night Live alum Bowen Yang and KPop Demon Hunters voice actors Arden Cho and Ji-young Yoo.
GoldenTV CEO Takashi Cheng kicked off the event before jumping into the awards. Beef season two star Charles Melton presented Zhao with the global icon award. The actor gave a moving introduction to the director, recalling a conversation the two had when Melton told her that he hadn’t fully grasped Shakespearean prose and sharing how needed Zhao is to the world as a storyteller. “We need her films. We need her voice. We need her way,” he told the crowd.
