The last Teen Choice Awards aired in 2019. MTV canceled its MTV Movie TV Awards show after 2023. It's been a rough period for those deserving of recognition as choice hottie or best villain.
Enter the Las Culturistas Culture Awards, now in its fifth year - and coming to television for the first time Tuesday. Conceived by comedians and longtime friends Bowen Yang "Saturday Night Live" and Matt Rogers "I Love That For You" and an outgrowth of their "Las Culturistas" podcast, this year's edition was taped in July and will air on Bravo.
"The thing that's cohesive about Bravo and our brand is the fact that we center fun and that kind of made it a really natural home for us," Rogers said recently over Zoom.
These awards give flowers to a variety of genres. Categories this year include most iconic building or structure Lumon headquarters from "Severance" is nominated, best title for the next "Bridget Jones" "Bridget Jones to Terabithia" is a contender and the Lindsay Lohan in "Parent Trap" award for twins excellence Michael B. Jordan gets a nod for "Sinners".
Rogers' favorite? "They're all my babies," he said, but is most proud of best "Batman" woman. One of the nominees: Robyn - yes, not Robin. "It's the Riddler's assistant," joked Rogers. "Robyn scenes were cut from the movie." The awards aren't even limited to work from the past year - the nonexistent Robyn's competitors include both Michelle Pfeiffer and Anne Hathaway's portrayal of Catwoman.
