Written by djfrosty on February 29, 2024
The 2024 Oscars will have strong Latin representation. Two Puerto Rican superstars of different generations — Bad Bunny and Rita Moreno — have been added as presenters for the March 10 ceremony, along with Chris Hemsworth, Dwayne Johnson, Michael Keaton, Regina King, Jennifer Lawrence, Kate McKinnon, John Mulaney, Catherine O’Hara, Octavia Spencer and Ramy Youssef.
Moreno won an Oscar in 1962 for West Side Story. In 1977, she became the first Latina (and just the third person overall) to complete the EGOT. In 2022, Bad Bunny made history when Un Verano Sin Ti became the first Spanish-language album to top Billboard’s year-end chart and to receive a Grammy nod for album of the year.
