On TV, Heated Rivalry won Outstanding New TV Series. Connor Storrie, Robbie GK and other cast members accepted the award.

Stranger Things won Outstanding Drama Series, while Palm Royale scooped Outstanding Comedy Series.
On the film front, Kiss of the Spider Woman starring Jennifer Lopez earned the Outstanding Wide Theatrical release gong.
