This past weekend’s iQiyi Scream Awards was basically a popularity contest of the current tableau of high profile mixed with rising stars.

So this was a major trending topic on C-ent last week, but it’s kinda already happened before type of news in that similar callouts have happened before with this actor yet he’s still getting big gigs.
