Simu Liu and Fala Chen will co-chair the 2026 Unforgettable Awards, taking place on March 7, 2026, at the Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles. The ceremony honors artists, visionaries and leaders in film, television, music and culture. Presented by GoldenTV and Character Media, the evening will feature live performances, tributes and award presentations recognizing pioneers and trailblazers across entertainment, fashion and culture. “Simu and Fala represent the global excellence and creative influence that Unforgettable was created to honor,” Takashi Cheng, CEO of GoldenTV, said in a statement. “Their leadership and visibility continue to pave the way for countless others in the entertainment industry.” As co-chairs, Liu and Chen will oversee the selection committee responsible for reviewing and voting on this year’s nominees. The duo will also deliver a keynote address during the awards dinner. They join a roster of past co-chairs that includes Daniel Dae Kim, Destin Daniel Cretton, Adele Lim and Lisa Ling. “Working with Fala on ‘Shang-Chi’ was such a formative experience,” Liu said. “I have always admired her artistry and grace, and I am thrilled to be co-chairing Unforgettable together this year. Representation is not just about being seen; it is about belonging, and I am honored to celebrate that with her.” The two stars previously worked together on Marvel’s ‘Shang-Chi’ and the Legend of the Ten Rings.’ Additionally, Chen presented Liu with the Breakout in Film Award in 2021. “It is truly special to come full circle,” Chen added. “I still remember handing Simu his award at Unforgettable in 2021, and now we are co-chairing this incredible celebration together. The show has always been about recognizing how far we have come and how much further we can go as a community.”.
