The MCU shined bright last night and the biggest cinematic universe in history showed, once again, why it remains unprecedented. Marvel won big at the 2021 People’s Choice Awards!
It was no surprise that Marvel and Disney were consistently featured as nominations throughout the night, with Marvel seeming to be a very likely candidate to take some kind of hardware back to Marvel Studios offices.

Black Widow
One of the biggest nabs of the evening was Black Widow that took home the Movie of the Year award, and with the star of the film Scarlett Johansson taking home Female Movie Star of the Year.
Marvel’s first feature film in the post-pandemic era, Black Widow is perhaps the most underrated Marvel movie ever developed. Telling Natasha Romanoff’s first solo story, the film chronicles her reunion with the family that raised her and her ultimate retaliation against the program that took everything from her.

Marvel Studios
The awards didn’t end there for Marvel Studios, however, as Loki earned the award for Best Show of 2021 in a very stacked category; with Tom Hiddleston winning the Male TV Star of 2021 for his work on the series.
In a year that saw streaming services introduce brand new series like the pop-cultural phenom of Squid Games, seeing Loki be announced as the Best TV Show of 2021 clearly displays the public adoration for the content Marvel has put forth thus far.
This is the official shoutout to everyone who helps @twhiddleston wake up in the mornings! #PCAs pic.twitter.com/lNcqwc19RE

Following the halt of production that the pandemic forced upon Marvel Studios, the Peoples Choice Awards are yet another indication that the MCU hasn’t lost a step since its widely adored finale to their lauded Infinity Saga.
As Marvel wins big at the 2021 People’s Choice Awards, it is abundantly clear: things continue to look up for Kevin Feige and Co.
