1. Kpop Demon Hunters Wins Big at the Golden Globes
We're going up up up it's our moment... KPop Demon Hunters continues its amazing awards show run, taking home the Golden Globe for Best Original Song, "Golden," and Best Animated Feature. This particular awards show is kind of a joke and I do not take it seriously. But damn if I didn't tear up watching EJAE's acceptance speech, talking about her dreams, rejections and disappointments. She dedicated the award "to people who have their doors closed at them, and that, I can confidently say 'rejection is redirection,' and so never give up... It's never too late to shine like you were born to be."
