Penélope Cruz Scores Latin Grammy Nomination
Penélope Cruz is an official Latin Grammy nominee.
The Oscar-winning actress earned a nomination for best short form music video for Residente’s “313,” which starts with Cruz delivering a poetic narration. She also stars in the music video.
The track also earned a nomination for song of the year — a nomination that goes to songwriters, including Residente, featured artist Silvia Pérez Cruz and Leo Genovese for “313.”
Cruz, 50, won the best supporting actress Oscar at the 2009 ceremony for Vicky Cristina Barcelona. She was nominated for outstanding supporting actress in a limited series or movie at the 2018 Emmys for her role as Dontella Versace in The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story.
Songwriter-producer Édgar Barrera leads the 2024 Latin Grammy nominations for a second year. He’s up for nine awards, including three bids for song of the year. Karol G and Bad Bunny follow with eight nominations each.
The 25th annual Latin Grammys will take place on Nov. 14 from the Kaseya Center in Miami. The three-hour telecast will air live on Univision, Galavisión and ViX. Final voting begins Sept. 27.
“As we approach the 25th edition of the Latin GRAMMYs our Awards Process is more robust than ever, with our membership evaluating over 23,000 entries this year,” Manuel Abud, CEO of The Latin Recording Academy, says in a statement. “The Latin GRAMMYs have grown in an amazing way to become a fundamental platform for music and culture. We are proud to share this year’s nominees, an international and diverse group of creators representing the richness and vastness of today’s Latin music.”
