Inde Navarrette, John Leguizamo and Cannes title “La Bola Negra” among honorees named for Critics Choice Celebración of Cinema & Television

The Critics Choice Association has announced the full honoree slate for the 6th annual Celebración of Cinema & Television, an awards and recognition event honoring Spanish-language and Latino talent in film and television. The organization said the ceremony will be held in October, with the honorees spanning breakout performances, international hits and established creators whose work crosses movies and series.

Among the announced honorees is Inde Navarrette, recognized for her role in the breakout film Obsession. The Critics Choice Association also highlighted John Leguizamo, whose work is cited in connection with the film The Odyssey, one of the titles included in the event’s recognized body of work.

The honoree list additionally includes the Cannes hit La Bola Negra, which the Critics Choice Association is crediting as part of the programming for this year’s Celebración. The inclusion reflects the event’s emphasis on performances and productions that reach audiences across major festivals as well as mainstream viewing platforms.

Deadline’s report also notes that Project Hail Mary is represented through the actor and puppeteer credited as the creative force behind the character Rocky, a role that brought Leguizamo into broader public view through a high-profile studio science fiction release. The Celebración honorees therefore include both on-screen stars and creators responsible for major characters and performance styles.

The Critics Choice Association said it selected the honorees for the 6th annual Celebración of Cinema & Television as part of its ongoing recognition efforts for cinema and TV, building on prior editions of the event. Deadline’s announcement described the new lineup as a mix of breakthrough and audience-visible projects, alongside internationally recognized films.

Details of the date, venue, and the full list of additional categories and recipients beyond the names and titles highlighted in the announcement were not included in the reported item. The organization’s full slate is expected to be distributed with event coverage closer to the October ceremony.
