Meet the Latinos nominated at the 2023 Golden Globes

It’s almost time for the 80th edition of the Golden Globes. After last year’s boycott and the changes promised by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), this 2023, the Golden Globes will once again be broadcast on NBC and will once again be a public event.

In December of last year, the HFPA announced the nominees, including several Latinos, who in this edition are represented in approximately half of the award categories with nine nominations for actors, actresses and filmmakers. In addition to the Latino presence, the nominees represent a young generation in Hollywood, as six of them are under the age of 40. In addition, some have earned their first Golden Globe nominations this year, most of them for leading roles in film or television.
