Jazz Tangcay Artisans Editor Gold House and CAPE (Coalition of Asian Pacifics) in Entertainment released the fourth annual Gold List, which spotlights outstanding work and talent within the AAPI community over the past 12 months. “The Gold List was created to ensure awards seasons and mainstream society are up to date on the most worthy creative work — particularly work from communities that have been historically overlooked or excluded,” Jeremy Tran, executive director and chief operating officer of Gold House, said in a statement. “Every visible success leads to numerous unseen doors that are opened for new creative development, production, and distribution opportunities for these communities.” Celine Song’s “Past Lives” leads the list which is voted on by the community’s industry leaders and used to guide voters during awards season.

It received a nod for best picture, director and original screenplay for Song and performance in a leading role for Greta Lee.

Teo Yoo also received an honorable mention for his supporting performance. Hayao Miyazaki’s “The Boy and The Heron” was recognized for best animated feature, while Olivia Rodrigo’s original song “Can’t Catch Me Now” from “The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes” was also honored. “May December’s” Charles Melton was lauded for his supporting performance in the Todd Haynes film. “It is incredible to witness the tremendous work our community continues to bring to the global stage.

Let us continue to empower and uplift one another through new portrayals and experiences across artistic mediums,” Melton said in a statement.
