The black-tie gala will be held on December 16 at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles. This is the second time Liu will host.
“Unforgettable is one of my favorite events of the year, and I’m excited to return to emcee and celebrate with all the incredible talent in the room,” said Liu, according to Variety. “Despite a challenging year for the entertainment industry, Asian creatives in Hollywood are more resilient than ever, and we’ll continue to push forward for more representation.”
