After winning Oscars earlier this year for Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song for “Golden,” the HUNTR/X trio from the Netflix animated movie musical sensation KPop Demon Hunters has been honored big once again, this time at the American Music Awards.

Nominated by the AMAs as The Singing Voices of HUNTR/X: EJAE, Audrey Nuna and Rei Ami, the trio was honored Monday night in Las Vegas with four AMAs, beginning with Song of the Year for “Golden.”

Now in its 52nd year, the AMAs are voted on entirely by the fans.

“Truly this movie is fueled by the song and the fans,” said EJAE, while accepting the award onstage with Ami, as Nuna missed the ceremony. “The fact that this vote is voted by the fans, that means so much.”

“Thank you to all the fans that voted. KPop Demon Hunters would not be what it is without our passionate fandom,” Ami added. “Thank you for the hilarious memes, the crazy fanfics and endless support. Thank you for laughing, crying and singing with us for the past year.”
