The People’s Choice Awards took place Sunday night at Santa Monica’s Barker Hangar and towards the end of the show, Avengers: Endgame was named as the Movie of the Year.

After winning three Oscars last year for Black Panther, Endgame producer Trinh Tran told ComicBook.com earlier this year it’d be “great” for Endgame to sweep the Academy Awards.

“I mean that would be great, right?” Tran previously told us of the Oscar possibilities. “I think, with RDJ, he spent the last decade bringing this character to life since the first Iron Man. To pay tribute to him in Endgame and where his journey ends, I hope everybody embraced what we felt emotionally was impactful to his character. I think that the Russos mentioning that it would be great that he gets acknowledged for the endeavor that he did.”
