Colombia’s Caracol Televisión claimed a pair of prizes and Mexico was the most awarded country at the second edition of the Rose d’Or Latinos Awards, which took place in Miami as part of Content Americas on January 21.
Caracol’s wins came in the telenovela and reality show categories, which were won by “Devuélveme la Vida” and “Desafío 20 años” respectively.
Mexican projects took home four statuettes: “Los 43 de Ayotzinapa: un Crimen de Estado,” by Max and PAR Media, won best docuseries; “Radical” (3Pas Studios, The Lift and ViX) won best film; Spotify’s Mexican podcast “Caso 63: Enigma” won in the audio category; and “Me caigo de risa S9” (Endemol Shine Boomdog and Televisa) took best comedy or variety entertainment content.
Meanwhile, Spain took three awards, Colombia took two, and Argentina, Brazil and Chile all received one award.
Argentinian drama series “Iosi, el espía Arrepentido” from Amazon Prime Video and Oficina Burman, part of The Mediapro Studio, was one of the big winners of the night, taking the best drama award for its second season. It beat off competition in the category from “Familia de Medianoche” (Apple TV+), “Rapa S3” (Movistar Plus+), “Las Azules” (Apple TV+), “Ciudad de Dios: La lucha no para” (Max) and “Memento Mori” (Prime Video).
In other scripted categories, Spanish series “Tierra de Mujeres” (Apple TV+, Bambú Producciones, UnbeliEVAble and Hyphenate Media Group) won best comedy or dramedy, while “La Mesías” (Movistar Plus+, Suma Content), also from Spain, was best miniseries or limited series. In unscripted, Spanish title “100% Únicos” (Shine Iberia and Mediaset España) was named best factual show.
For the first time, this year’s awards separated the children’s and youth categories. Brazilian series “Perfekta” (Mixer Films, Globo) won best children’s content and Chilean title “Baby Bandito” (Fábula, Netflix) took best youth programme.
In addition to the awards chosen by the jury, the Rose d’Or Latinos presented this year’s lifetime achievement award to Mexican actor, director and producer Eugenio Derbez, who was recognised for titles such as the award-winning “Radical,” “Acapulco” and “No se Entregan Devoluciones” (“Instructions Not Included”).
