Tonight is the 2017 Latin Grammy Awards, with actors and singers Jaime Camil and Roselyn Sanchez as hosts. The awards show starts at 8 p.m. ET/PT and 7 p.m. CT on the Univision network and there are a couple options when it comes to watch the show online via live stream. Some include free trials so that you do not have to pay to watch the event. Yesterday, the Latin Recording Academy held an additional, special awards ceremony prior to tonight’s big show and Billboard reported that several artists received the Lifetime Achievement award. Lucecita Benitez, JoAo Bosco, Ilan Chester, Víctor Heredia, Los Del Rio, Guadalupe Pineda and Cuco Valoy each took home the award. E! News reports that another honor was also given, the 2017 Latin Recording Academy Person of the Year. Alejandro Sanz was this year’s recipient and he was celebrated by music artists Nick Jonas, Juanes, Camila Cabello, Anitta, and Residente. Natalia Lafourcade, Juan Luis Guerra, David Bisbal, Luis Fonsi, Nina Pastori, Mon Laferte, Jesse y Joy, Rosalia, and Gian Marco also executed performances for the tribute.
At tonight’s awards show, Lin-Manuel Miranda is the recipient of the Latin Recording Academy President’s Merit Award. Gabriel Abaroa Jr., the President/CEO of The Latin Recording Academy, explains the choice to honor Miranda in a statement to the press. Abaroa stated that, “Lin-Manuel’s urban and social poetry have provided strength and encouragement to every Latino motivated to get ahead. He has brought pride to our community by reminding us of the resilience and fortitude we demonstrate on a daily basis.”
Residente is the lead nominee at tonight’s awards, with nine nominations. Leila Cobo, Billboard’s executive director of Latin content and programming, said to Billboard that Residente would be a shoe-in, at least for Album of the Year. Cobo stated, “I would be so surprised if Residente doesn’t win this. A superb album, great backstory, strong Grammy history. Having said that, I love Nicky Jam’s album not just because of the hits, but because of everything it symbolizes in his comeback.” Suzette Fernandez, assistant editor for Billboard en Español, also said that she thinks Residente will win Record of the Year, explaining that, “I think Residente will win. His single and his new album, musically, are really good.” For those hoping to watch the 2017 Latin Grammys online, but you don’t have cable or can’t get to a TV, you can watch Univision online, on your phone or on another streaming device by signing up for one of the following cable-free, live-TV streaming services.
