WandaVision Wins Four Awards
WandaVision had six nominations, the most of all shows and movies honored at the event. The Disney+ series focused on Wanda Maximoff (a.k.a. Scarlet Witch) conjuring an alternate reality in which she and her lost love, Vision, live their lives through sitcoms spanning several different decades. Not only did WandaVision win the award for Best Show, its actors won several awards as well.
Elizabeth Olsen won the golden popcorn trophy for Best Performance in a Show. As fans are well aware, Olsen portrays Wanda Maximoff in the series.

In her acceptance speech, Olsen said: “I’ve loved playing this part for seven years. Really, nothing could’ve been better than to have WandaVision. We had so much fun making it, and I hope we moved you. I hope we entertained you.”
Kathryn Hahn won the golden popcorn trophy for Best Villain, honoring her portrayal of Marvel witch Agatha Harkness.
Fans will recall the epic battle between Wanda and Agatha in the season finale. Not surprisingly, that battle won the award for Best Fight.
