- List of Puerto Rican Academy Award winners and nominees
This is a list of Puerto Rican Academy Award winners and nominees. This list details the performances of Puerto Rican actors, actresses, and films that have either been submitted or nominated for, or have won, an Academy Award. This list is current as of the 80th Academy Awards ceremony held on February 24, 2008.
Acting categories
This list focuses on Puerto Rican-born actors and actresses as well as those with a strong Puerto Rican descent (i.e., Nuyoricans). As of 2007, there have only been three Academy Award winning actors born in Puerto Rico. However, others have been nominated for the awards.
Note: When del Toro and Phoenix were nominated by the Academy for Best Supporting Actor in 2000, it was the first time that two actors born in Puerto Rico were simultaneously nominated for such an honor.
Foreign Film category
Puerto Rico has submitted films for the Foreign Film category since 1985. However, as of 2007, only one film has been nominated. This happened in 1990 when "Lo que le Pasó a Santiago" (from Jacobo Morales) was nominated. The film lost to Italy's "Cinema Paradiso".
Other films that have been submitted for consideration are:
Writing categories
In 2005, José Rivera became the first Puerto Rican writer to be nominated for an Academy Award for Writing Adapted Screenplay for his adaptation of the film "Diarios de Motocicleta".
