 During the press conference, the Academy of Motion Picture, Arts & Sciences (AMPAS) was bestowed with a Premio Platino for their contribution to Ibero-American Cinema. AMPAS president John Bailey was honored to receive this award.

“We need look no further than this year’s Academy Award for the Chilean film “Una Mujer Fantastica” starring Daniela Vega and directed by Sebastian Lelio to understand the growing importance of Ibero-American cinema on the world stage,” said John Bailey. He continued,“Los Tres Amigos” from Mexico, Guillermo del Toro, Alejandro Inarritu, and Alfonso Cuaron continue to be leaders in the Hollywood mainstream, as well as international cinema ambassadors for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. On a more personal level, I am honored to have worked with and be friends with the extraordinary actor/ director from Mexico, Eugenio Derbez.”

After his outstanding performance as a presenter at the recent Academy Awards, Eugenio Derbez, one of the most internationally renowned and multi-faceted males in the Mexican audiovisual industry (actor, director, producer and screenwriter), will host the awards ceremony that will be held on April 29 at the Teatro Gran Tlachco in Xcaret (Riviera Maya, Mexico).

An event of these characteristics represents a clear benefit to the economy of the country that hosts the awards, which is why Riviera Maya has made a strong commitment to the PLATINOS. “Given that tourism is culture, economy and society, whenever we support culture, like we’re doing now, we demonstrate tourism’s capacity to be a transforming power for people,” says Marisol Vanegas, Secretary of Tourism of Quintana Roo.
