Omg, that’s so true. Especially Val’s, where we spend so much time. It’s cute and I love the lighting but it’s tiny!
Now I’m wondering if she found it comforting as a child to have it so cozy and snug and then just grew up there. She could have switched to Eva’s when she moved out and looking at Lucia’s, it’s not like tiny bedrooms were the norm.
I imagine she’d only actually move from there when it was time to live with Juls so she’s basically always going to have lived in a place with other people, lol. But then so will Juls, now that I think about it. Which is not unusual in many cultures. Awww, they’re gonna move from their family homes to their forever home. :’)
Oh, I wouldn’t say in general but the night of the awards show? Yeah, along with Angelique they were the ones the interviewers and non-celebrity attendees and viewers from home were most interested in. You could hear people chanting for them during the red carpet and if you followed the livefeeds you could see the comments all about them.
Oh, I see what you mean, and that’s a good point. I wonder if, had it been longer and the show had a chance to see how big it was going to get while still filming, if maybe that would have affected things, like an extension/renewal or modifying the plot. Even if was written to be a closed story, networks aren’t necessarily known for their artistic integrity.
But anyway, I think no matter how or when they experienced this response they would be grateful for it and return it. I think we and they all realize this was something special and nobody expected it to be like this. And part of it is because of them, their acknowledgment and gratitude feeding ours in turn. It’s all just really nice, since nobody expected it to be this big and I’m sure some of the actors in the side roles didn’t think they’d be caught up in this too and be getting their awards and fan appreciation the way they did. 🙂
Yes, the Aristemo ship started exploding last year and their show was extended and they got their spinoff. Their fandom is much more local to Mexico, so I think Juliantina’s very recent popularity, and much of it international, wasn’t as apparent to people who didn’t think they could compare to MMTF in size or reach.
I think it’s going to be a spinoff or nothing, even without Angelique, I don’t think the parts are in play for a season 2. Even though they seemed to set it up, with Lucia’s implied transmigration and Jacobo still alive to look for her and not knowing what happened to Leon’s body or Beltran. A lot of loose ends but so many people have commented on there not being a season 2 so that’s that.
Oh, they’ve just had to continue to face scrutiny for the awards.
For example, Raquel Garza, who played Barbara, the #1 Juliantina shipper, had to face this tweet from a radio host (who incidentally interviewed Barb and Maca some weeks back and was nice to them) the very actual night of the awards. She saw it and responded in a super classy way but imagine not even getting a day to enjoy it without people saying you didn’t deserve it.
Like others have, Maxine specifically also brought up Patricio Wills, founder of W Studios (that made AAM) and recently appointed president of Televisa and she essentially claimed that these awards were him rewarding his company. This was a particularly tenacious rumor and Claudia was asked about it personally.
At around 4:40, the interviewer brings up Wills and questions the credibility of the awards now, can it be a coincidence that his company received so many awards, how does Claudia think that’ll affect the popularity of the awards.
Claudia: Look, I think the awards have always been inside the company, and they always award Televisa’s projects, right? That’s what happened in this case. I repeat, I saw Juliantina fans being very active, it’s a phenomenon even now that the telenovela has ended, every day there are so many tweets they send, and I believe…what happened is that they played a major part in us winning so many awards, it was their support.
Interviewer: Don’t you think there was some sort of corruption?
Claudia: I don’t see why. At the end of the day the telenovela did great in Univision, it did great here, and that’s it. If the voting had only been in Mexico maybe we would’t have had the same results, but they opened the voting to all countries, a lot of people from Spain voted, and Angelique, what can I say? She has a lot of fans from 15 years, she has a long career and she always wins her awards. Just saying.
Nope, there is no Emmy Latino, there are Grammy Latinos.
And other anons:
About your anons: The International Emmys are awards for tv programs produced and aired outside USA and there’s a telenovela category. The Netflix thing: Televisa broke their deal with Netflix years ago to start their own streaming service (the really mediocre Blim), so now all their content (like AAM) goes to that site. There’s still novelas on Netflix, but most of all are from Telemundo/Caracol.
also, there’s no Latin Emmy… there’s an international Emmy award and it does have a best telenovela category but no Mexican telenovela has won and only one was nominated in like 10 years.
So basically this was in fact the biggest thing people could win for AAM or for any telenovela this year? Maybe that explains the drama that’s sprung up around it. I almost feel a little guilty for all the accusations the AAM actors and the production crew are having to field.
I don’t know how much clearer it could be, Juliantina has a large international fanbase that voted hard. Just because they didn’t see the surge in popularity doesn’t mean it wasn’t there. The accusations going from one thing to the next, corruption, fraud, nepotism, favoritism? And finally landing on the whiny “but one show shouldn’t win them alllll”. Well, the people who voted hard voted for that one show. What, fans of Juliantina and AAM should have been like, sorry, Claudia, Angelique already won so you’ll have to give yours up to someone from another show?
To be honest, I actually do think that it was very weird to only go by public voting for such a big award, it was absurd to not have a jury, but the voting system was known before and nobody objected. You can’t accuse people of cheating for following that system.
Regarding that Netflix thing, yes, I heard about that, but if Blim is failing, Netflix might have a chance? Or as someone else suggested, Amazon Prime?
