Who else besides Justin Bieber was nominated for Anthony Edwards' White Boy of the Year?
Bieber faced some stiff competition for White Boy of the Year. The other nominees included Tom Holland, Erling Haaland, Robert Pattinson, and Travis Kelce.
Any of them could have won, but Bieber has had a busy year. While Pattinson and Holland were busy starring in blockbusters like The Odyssey, he was on stage.
The pop star made waves with his performance at Coachella, headlining the festival on Apr. 11 and 18. He brought Billie Eilish and SZA on stage during his second show.

He performed at the first-ever halftime show, on July 19, alongside the likes of BTS, Madonna, and Shakira. His performance included an acoustic rendition of “Everything Hallelujah.”
It appears Edwards is having one last hurrah before the 2026-27 NBA season begins. The Timberwolves added LaMelo Ball in the offseason, adding another dangerous scorer to the team.
Last season, Edwards was third in the league in scoring, averaging 28.8 points per game. He also averaged five rebounds and 3.7 assists per game.
He was the first overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft out of Georgia. Edwards has been an All-Star in each of the last four seasons, winning MVP of the game in 2026. Additionally, he has made two All-NBA Second Teams.
