\n\tComedians Bowen Yang<\/a> and Matt Rogers<\/a> opened their first televised Las Culturistas <\/em>Culture Awards<\/a> with a delirious, inch-perfect rendition of Lady Gaga\u2019s \u201cAbracadabra.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n \n\tThough obviously not\u00a0quite as elaborate<\/a>\u00a0as Gaga\u2019s own video and\u00a0performances<\/a>, Yang and Rogers still pulled out as many stops as they could.<\/span> There was a troupe of cane-wielding back-up dancers, some committed<\/em> vocal runs, and stomping choreography. They even had fellow comedian Patti Harrison<\/a> introduce the performance in a full \u201clady in red\u201d get-up.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tYang and Rogers started the Culture Awards in 2022, spinning off the awards show send-up\/tribute from their hit podcast, Las Culturistas<\/em>. The first three iterations of the Culture Awards were held as a live-only show in New York City, but a more amped-up affair was held this year in Los Angeles after Bravo secured the TV rights.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tThe categories for the \u201cCultch Awards\u201d themselves are absurdly broad and irreverent, running the gamut from vaguely legitimate (\u201cBest New Artist\u201d) to completely nonsensical (\u201cEva Longoria award for tiny woman, huge impact\u201d). The nominees are similarly silly. For instance, Best New Artist found two SNL<\/em> characters \u2014 Domingo<\/a> and Miss Eggy \u2014 competing against Dr. Victoria Frankenstein, Sorry, Baby <\/em>filmmaker Eva Victor<\/a>, and reality star Gabby Windey<\/a> (who won).<\/p>\n \n\tTo that end, \u201cAbracadabra\u201d was one of the five nominees for Record of the Year, a category that, for the most part, comprised songs released within a respectable \u201cRecord of the Year\u201d timeframe: \u201cAbracadabra,\u201d Addison Rae\u2019s \u201cDiet Pepsi,\u201d Jensen Mcrae\u2019s \u201cMassachusetts,\u201d and Remi Wolf\u2019s \u201cSoup.\u201d The outlier was Aerosmith\u2019s 1998 ballad, \u201cI Don\u2019t Want to Miss a Thing.\u201d<\/p>\n
