When is the Las Culturistas Culture Awards?

What Is the Las Culturistas Culture Awards?

For those who aren’t chronically online, the event grew out of the popular Las Culturistas podcast hosted by actors and comedians Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers. From outrageously specific award categories to unforgettable musical performances — looking at you, Ben Platt — the show turns the traditional awards-show format completely upside down.

And it’s not something you’ll want to miss.

Why People Love the Culture Awards

Part awards show, part absurd comedy special and part celebration of all thing’s internet culture, the Las Culturistas Culture Awards have become a must-watch event for pop culture fans. Hosts Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers bring their signature humor to the stage, shining a spotlight on all the tea, trends, running jokes and cultural moments that defined the year.

The result is an awards show unlike any other — one that feels tailor-made for anyone who spends a little too much time online, has strong opinions about reality TV or can appreciate a category devoted entirely to vibes.

Culture Awards Nominations

One of the biggest draws of the Las Culturistas Culture Awards is its delightfully absurd nominations list. Rather than honoring traditional categories like Best Actor or Best Picture, hosts Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers celebrate everything from iconic buildings and celebrity names to the best vibes and even temperatures. And don’t worry, there’s no eligibility period either — anything is fair game.
