Reacting to the news, some X (Twitter) users shared their support for the actor, stating that they would love to see Simu Liu hosting the award ceremony. However, not all reactions were positive, as some users criticized the choice of hosts. One of the users also pointed out the lack of female hosts, stating,“Where are the women? Get a woman to host one of these events.”As the spotlight turns to Simu Liu, it would be interesting to see if the actor can bring the charm and connection that fans anticipate.
