The fifth annual Las Culturistas Culture Awards unfolded last week in Los Angeles, marking a milestone for the podcast‑derived ceremony that has become a staple of queer pop‑culture commentary.
Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers, the show’s longtime hosts, opened the night with a monologue that explored the undercurrents of gay sexual tension in contemporary television, before launching into a spirited cover of t.A.T.u’s “All the Things She Said.”
The performance was elevated by surprise cameo appearances from Britney Snow and Malin Akerman, who joined the duo onstage, adding a layer of theatrical flair that resonated with the audience.

The rendition was positioned among five contenders for the Culture Award’s Record of the Year category, a lineup that blends early‑2000s anthems with newer releases, including Meg Stalter’s recent single “Prettiest Girl in America.”
Fans noted the deliberate nod to the era that shaped much of the award show’s audience, while also celebrating the evolving soundscape that now includes digital‑age artists.
