About this episode

In this episode, Freddy and Wilmer discuss the politics behind award season and the challenges Latino talent faces in winning awards.

It’s award season, so Dos Amigos is popping the champagne and lifting the curtain - because is everything that glitters really what it seems?  In Season 2's first episode, Freddy and Wilmer poke at the politics behind those shiny trophies and ask what it will really take for more Latino talent to get their hands on them.
