Actors and Actresses Union Awards

The Actors and Actresses Union Awards (Spanish: Premios de la Unión de Actores y Actrices) is an annual award ceremony organised by the Spanish Actors and Actresses Union, recognising the best performances in Spanish cinema, television and theatre since 1991.[1][2] It also awards a generic award to the best new actor and actress (in any media) and, since the 28th edition, an award category to the best actor and actress in an international production.[3][4] The 30th edition, scheduled to take place in 2021, skipped that year and was moved forward to 14 March 2022, expected to be held at the Circo Price.[5]
