“Wakanda Forever” won prizes for costume design (Ruth E. Carter) and original song (“Lift Me Up” by Tems, Ludwig Göransson, Rihanna and Ryan Coogler).

“Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio” won two prizes for animated film and adapted screenplay. In addition, the LEJA membership selected Guillermo del Toro as the recipient of the 2023 Rita Moreno Lifetime Achievement Award.

In a statement, the organization said, “The highest honor for a career that has exemplified Latino excellence, Guillermo del Toro has been a tireless advocate of cinema in all its beautiful forms. Never tied to a single genre, he’s made an indelible impression in Hollywood with various ambitious endeavors such as “Cronos” (1992), “Mimic” (1997), “The Devil’s Backbone” (2001), “Hellboy II: The Golden Army” (2008), “Pacific Rim” (2013) and “Crimson’s Peak” (2015). An Oscar winner, del Toro’s most recognized films have been “Pan’s Labyrinth” (2006), “The Shape of Water” (2017), “Nightmare Alley” (2021) and “Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio” (2022), for which he is nominated for nine awards including best picture and director. He’s the first director of an animated feature to be nominated by the organization. The Latino Entertainment Journalists Association salutes the Mexican auteur and looks forward to more stunning work throughout his lifetime.”
