Overview

• Verónica Lozano questioned the fairness of the Martín Fierro outcomes on her show, citing messages from APTRA members and urging a vote audit as she floated skipping the next ceremony before later softening that stance.
• Luis Ventura, who leads APTRA, defended the awards and said a notary certified the voting steps, pushing back on calls to recheck the counts.
• Susana Giménez, who won best female host and whose program also won, dismissed the criticism, argued her career merits recognition, and said she is unconcerned if Lozano opts out of future galas.
• Later comments from Giménez escalated the exchange as she told critics to “learn math” and asserted APTRA would not conduct an audit, reinforcing her stance that the trophies were deserved.
• Jorge Rial intensified the backlash with harsh on-air attacks on Giménez and her Prime Video show LOL, while other TV figures suggested the distribution of awards looked imposed, keeping the dispute in heavy rotation across Argentine media.
