The winners of the most important, cherished, and coveted awards in all of pop culture were finally revealed tonight (well, at least some of them) as comedians Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers hosted the fifth edition of Bravo’s Las Culturistas Culture Awards, which is now available to stream on Peacock.
Spun off from Yang and Rogers’ podcast, Las Culturistas, the Culture Awards lovingly spoof the entertainment industry’s obsession with prizes and self-congratulation. There are 100 categories (seriously), the vast majority of them ridiculous bits, and even the semi-serious ones basically gags, too. For instance, the nominees for this year’s Album of the Year prize included actually relevant records released within the past year such as Zara Larsson’s Midnight Sun, Rosalía’s Lux, Slayyyter’s Wor$t Girl in America, but also Slayyter’s back catalog, and Bing Crosby’s entire oeuvre.
On the way more delightfully stupid side of things, the Culture Awards this year bestowed honors upon such things as, “Best Thing That Could Change Your Life for Two Weeks,” “Most Beautiful Name for a Daughter You Haven’t Even Thought of Yet,” “What to Say When the Group Picture Is Taking a Bit Too Long,” and “Best Sauce.” The Culture Awards even expanded their purview in 2026 with the inaugural “Las Cultch 30 Under 30,” which included such luminaries as Punch the Monkey, Blue Ivy Carter, Chase Infiniti, and Windows 98.
