John Leguizamo will receive a Career Achievement Award from the Critics Choice Association after more than four decades on screen.

The 66-year-old actor will lead the honourees at the sixth annual Celebración of Cinema and Television on 2 October at the Four Seasons Los Angeles at Beverly Hills, with his honour arriving as his latest film, The Odyssey, continues its record-breaking run at the global box office.

The event, previously called the Celebration of Latino Cinema and Television, recognises Latino and Hispanic talent working on and off screen.

John's award follows his appearance in Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, which has become the highest-grossing film of the director's career and the highest-grossing R-rated movie worldwide.

The Homer adaptation, starring Matt Damon, Tom Holland and Anne Hathaway, has now passed $1.35 billion at the box office globally.

The recognition also marks a career that has included roles in Carlito's Way, Romeo + Juliet, Moulin Rouge!, When They See Us and the Ice Age franchise, in which John voiced Sid the sloth.

He is an Emmy winner, a Special Tony Award recipient and a four-time Tony nominee.

The 2026 line-up of honourees at the Celebración of Cinema and Television will also includes Judy Reyes, 58, Oscar Núñez, 67, Aimee Carrero, 38, Laysla De Oliveira, 34, Inde Navarrette, 25, and James Ortiz.

Inde will receive the Breakthrough Actress Award - Film for her performance in Focus Features' Obsession.

The Critics Choice Association said the horror film has grossed $495.5 million worldwide, with Inde's performance as Nikki helping turn the movie into a box-office hit.

James will collect the Innovator Award for his work on Amazon MGM Studios' Project Hail Mary.

The Broadway puppeteer performs, voices and operates the alien Rocky opposite Ryan Gosling in the space epic.

His stage design credits also include the Tony-nominated The Skin of Our Teeth.

Judy will receive the Trailblazer Award for her television work, including ABC and Hulu crime drama High Potential.

She plays Lt. Selena Soto in the series and has also returned to one of her best-known roles - nurse Carla Espinosa in the revival of Scrubs, having originally played the character for nine seasons.

Oscar, meanwhile, will be presented with the Vanguard Award for Peacock comedy The Paper.

The actor is best known for playing accountant Oscar Martinez in the US version of The Office, a character he reprises in the mockumentary series.

Aimee will receive the Supporting Actress Award - Series for Apple TV's Your Friends and Neighbors.

Her previous work includes voicing Elena in Disney's Elena of Avalor and Adora/She-Ra in She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, as well as appearing opposite Ralph Fiennes in The Menu.

Laysla will receive the Breakthrough Actress Award - Series for Lioness, Taylor Sheridan's Paramount+ espionage drama. She has appeared across its three seasons opposite Zoe Saldaña, who was previously given the Groundbreaker Award by the Critics Choice Association.

Behind the camera, Rodrigo Teixeira, 49, will receive the Producer Award for Neon thriller Paper Tiger, his latest collaboration with director James Gray.

Rodrigo's RT Features has previously been behind Luca Guadagnino's Call Me by Your Name and Walter Salles' I'm Still Here.

Spanish filmmaking duo Javier Ambrossi and Javier Calvo - known as Los Javis - will receive the Director Award for Netflix's La Bola Negra.

The pair, whose previous work includes Paquita Salas and La Mesías, won the directing prize at the Cannes Film Festival for the multigenerational drama inspired by unfinished work by Federico García Lorca.

Beth de Araújo will receive the Breakthrough Director Award for Josephine, starring Channing Tatum and Gemma Chan.

The filmmaker won both the Grand Jury Prize and Audience Award at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival for the movie.

Clayton Davis, Variety's chief awards editor and a Critics Choice Association member and co-programmer of the Celebración, said: "To honour this remarkable class of Latino and Hispanic artists is nothing short of a gift, especially during a time that has been difficult for our communities.

"Latino and Hispanic storytellers keep creating from a place of joy and defiance, turning our histories and culture into art that moves the culture forward. Their work builds a larger, more inclusive tent for everyone to be invited to join."
