Lozano Challenges Martín Fierro Results as Ventura Cites Notary-Certified Count

APTRA president Luis Ventura says a notary certified the vote.

Overview

  • Ventura responded to Verónica Lozano’s objections by saying the count was certified by a notary and noting he fielded hundreds of calls, including complaints, after the gala.
  • Lozano alleged that APTRA members told her winners did not match their votes and urged an audit of the tally, questioning who oversees the counting.
  • She criticized what she called poor award distribution and entrenched interests, arguing the ceremony needs renewal to better share recognition.
  • Lozano initially said she would skip future ceremonies unless guaranteed a win, then later softened the stance on Intrusos, calling her comment a heat-of-the-moment reaction.
  • Susana Giménez won two Martín Fierro awards, including Best Female Host, a result Lozano highlighted as disproportionate given Susana’s limited run last year, fueling broader debate over nominees and omissions such as Georgina Barbarossa.
