KPop Demon Hunters was nominated for two awards at the 98th Academy Awards... and managed to take home both.

The Netflix film won Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song for "Golden," which was performed live at the ceremony by Ejae, Rae Ami, and Audrey Nuna. Ejae accepted the award for Best Original Song alongside her co-songwriters, telling the crowd, through tears, that the song and the award are about "resilience." Overall, the film has been nominated for a total of 190 accolades this awards season, winning an impressive 132. Still to come are the iHeart Radio Music Awards and the Music Awards Japan.

Directed and written by Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans, the animated film follows a KPop girl group known as Huntr/x, who protect the world from demonic entities with the power of their voices. The girls end up battling the Saja boys, a rival boy band whose members are (secretly) demons. The cast includes Arden Cho and Ejae as the speaking and singing voice of Rumi, respectively, May Hong and Nuna as the speaking and singing voice of Mira, respectively, and Ji-young Yoo and Ami as the speaking and singing voice of Zoey.
