Hollywood stars
Nor surprises here as Oscar-winning filmmaker Bong Joon Ho, Ali Wong, Dwayne Johnson and others have made it to the A100 List to celebrate Asians and Asian American and Pacific Islanders (AAPIs) and their transformative contributions to society. The celebrities are now being honored as a part of nonprofit collective Gold House's third annual list.
What’s interesting is that the voters have, for the first time, selected the single most impactful Asians per category.
Other celebs who have made it to the list are designer Prabal Gurung for fashion and lifestyle, actress and musician Awkwafina for media and entertainment, and former presidential candidate Andrew Yang for social activism.
The inaugural Legend Honor for lifetime achievement was given to Miky Lee, vice chairman of CJ Entertainment.
The A100 list, which honors 100 of the most esteemed and impactful Asians in media and entertainment, fashion and lifestyle, technology, business, social activism and politics from the past year, also includes Hasan Minhaj, Lilly Singh, CNN's chief medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta, and The Hollywood Reporter's Rebecca Ford.
