In the lead-up to the ceremony to be held this Sunday the 13th, Cris Abrego and Maury McIntyre – representatives of the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences – talk with Culto about this year’s edition. They discuss the inclusion of El Oso and La Maldición de Widow’s Bay in the comedy categories, analyze the latest update of the rules regarding the use of artificial intelligence, and explain the selection of Mariska Hargitay as the host of the gala.
