Martín Fierro de la Radio 2026 awards spark controversy

The 2026 Martín Fierro de la Radio awards ceremony featured controversy surrounding the nomination of actress Andrea Rincón as an entertainment columnist. Rincón, nominated for her work on the Rock & Pop program ‘¿Quién paga la fiesta?’, defended her expertise during the red carpet event following criticisms from media personalities regarding her professional profile.

Rincón addressed claims that she lacked the necessary industry knowledge, stating, “I worked a lot. Just because I don't speak doesn't mean I don't know. I know the work and life of every artist who sat with me in the living room.” She also responded to comments from fellow nominee Marcela Tauro regarding the selection process.

Ultimately, the award in the entertainment columnist category was presented to Marcela Tauro for her work on La 100.
