Nope, there is no Emmy Latino, there are Grammy Latinos.
And other anons:
About your anons: The International Emmys are awards for tv programs produced and aired outside USA and there’s a telenovela category. The Netflix thing: Televisa broke their deal with Netflix years ago to start their own streaming service (the really mediocre Blim), so now all their content (like AAM) goes to that site. There’s still novelas on Netflix, but most of all are from Telemundo/Caracol.
also, there’s no Latin Emmy… there’s an international Emmy award and it does have a best telenovela category but no Mexican telenovela has won and only one was nominated in like 10 years.
So basically this was in fact the biggest thing people could win for AAM or for any telenovela this year? Maybe that explains the drama that’s sprung up around it. I almost feel a little guilty for all the accusations the AAM actors and the production crew are having to field.
I don’t know how much clearer it could be, Juliantina has a large international fanbase that voted hard. Just because they didn’t see the surge in popularity doesn’t mean it wasn’t there. The accusations going from one thing to the next, corruption, fraud, nepotism, favoritism? And finally landing on the whiny “but one show shouldn’t win them alllll”. Well, the people who voted hard voted for that one show. What, fans of Juliantina and AAM should have been like, sorry, Claudia, Angelique already won so you’ll have to give yours up to someone from another show?
To be honest, I actually do think that it was very weird to only go by public voting for such a big award, it was absurd to not have a jury, but the voting system was known before and nobody objected. You can’t accuse people of cheating for following that system.
Regarding that Netflix thing, yes, I heard about that, but if Blim is failing, Netflix might have a chance? Or as someone else suggested, Amazon Prime?
