"KPop Demon Hunters" Wins Oscar For Best Animated Feature Film At 2026 Academy Awards

“KPop Demon Hunters” has continued its “Golden” streak by winning an Oscar!

On March 15 local time, “KPop Demon Hunters”—which currently holds the title of Netflix’s most-watched film of all time—won Best Animated Feature Film at the 98th annual Academy Awards in Los Angeles.

During her acceptance speech, director Maggie Kang remarked, “Thank you to the Academy and to all the fans who got us here. And for those of you who look like me, I’m so sorry that it took us so long to see us in a movie like this. But it is here, and that means that the next generations don’t have to go longing. This is for Korea and for Koreans everywhere.”

Notably, Maggie Kang is the first female Asian director to win Best Animated Feature Film at the Academy Awards.

Earlier this week, Netflix officially confirmed that “KPop Demon Hunters” would be returning with a sequel.

Congratulations to the cast and crew of “KPop Demon Hunters”!
