The Caleuche Awards (Spanish: Premios Caleuche) is an awards ceremony presented to recognize the best in performances of the season, in feature films, television serials, miniseries and anthology series, and comedy. They were created and organized by the Corporation of Actors of Chile (Chileactores), sponsored by VTR for their first edition.[1][2]
The first awards ceremony was held on 25 January 2016 at the Teatro Nescafé de las Artes in Santiago. It was hosted by Chilean actor Alejandro Trejo and was broadcast by CNN Chile and Radio Bío-Bío, in television and radio, respectively[3]
Background
[edit]The Caleuche Awards are the first Chilean awards ceremony destined to recognize mainly acting performances.[4] Previously, the Altazor Awards were presented from 2000 to 2014 to reward the best in Chilean visual arts, theater, dance, music, cinema and television. These awards included categories for Best Actor and Best Actress, in film, television and theater. During the runtime of the awards, Chileactores was one of the institutions involved in the organization of said awards.[5] On the other hand, the Pedro Sienna Awards were presented regularly from 2006 to 2017. They were presented to award the best in Chilean cinema and also included performance categories, both leading and supporting.[6]
The awards were created in 2016 by Chileactores through their foundation Fundación Gestión (Gestionarte) under the name "Premios Caleuche, Gente que se transforma" (Caleuche Awards, People that transform). The awards name and subtitle make reference to the transformations that actors make for their work and comes from the Caleuche, a ghost ship from Chilote mythology whose name means "transformed people" in Mapudungun.[7]
For the first edition of the awards, fourteen categories were presented, consisting of twelve competitive categories divided between three sections (feature films, television series and miniseries/anthology series) plus two special awards (Lifetime Achievement Award and Breakthrough Award).[4] In 2017, the Audience Award was introduced.[8] The following year, the Best Comedian category was created. Said category has recognized both performances in comedic programs and Stand-up comedy routines in televised events such as Teletón and the Viña del Mar International Song Festival.[9]
Jury
[edit]The awards process is divided in two phases. Prior to the first phase, a set of juries is determined, composed of eleven industry professionals (actors, film directors, television directors, screenwriters, journalists and critics) for each section (feature films, television series and miniseries/anthology series), which change for each edition of the awards. During the first phase, the juries vote for the nominees while during the second phase, all the associate members of Chileactores vote for the winners.[10]
For the special awards, both the Lifetime Achievement Award and the Breakthrough Award are determined by members of a council in Chileactores, while the Audience Award is chosen via popular vote through the awards website.
Trophy
[edit]For the first awards edition, Chilean sculptor Palolo Valdés designed fourteen unique bronze statuettes, inspired by the expressiveness of the body of an actor.[11][12]
Since the second edition, the trophy is a bronze statuette, designed by Chilean sculptor and ceramist Eugenia González, which represents "a genderless winged being that can transform into a thousand characters and species".[13]
Categories
[edit]As of 2023, sixteen categories are presented, including thirteen competitive awards and three special awards:
