After announcing the cancellation of the Ariel Awards for the best of Mexican cinema, Guillermo del Toro was involved in controversy due to the criticism he made about this situation on his social networks, where he seems to have attacked the movies by Eugenio Derbez and Omar Chaparro.
According to del Toro, Mexican cinema is not only about Eugenio and Omar, and with the words “ya chole” he assured that he was fed up with this type of production.
He also asked that other directors who have better ideas in their projects and good messages to convey be given visibility.
“The Bots only reproduce that empty protest of: ‘All Mexican Cinema is by Omar Chaparro and Derbez’ etc, or they pretend that it is all a political attack”, He expressed in a Twitter thread of his original publication in which he highlighted:
“I already chole with the Chaparro and the Derbez and those empty rhetoric”

For all those who “Botean” about the Academy and stuff: I already chole with the thing about the Chaparro and the Derbez and those empty rhetoric. See what Tatiana Hueso, Alejandra Marquez Abella, Lila Aviles, Fernanda Valadez, etc. are doing. I mean, so the squad is less noticeable.— Guillermo del Toro (@RealGDT) November 26, 2022
Eugenio Derbez broke the silence and spoke of the way in which Guillermo del Toro alluded to him and to Omar Chaparro
Many say that the comments from the director of ‘Pinocchio’ became a misunderstanding after he pointed out that there is more talent in the medium, however, people began to send Eugenio this comment to see what he thought and he already gave an answer.
The cancellation of the Ariel awards was a trigger for del Toro to not hesitate to say what he thinks about this, but Derbez said that he will not get involved in the discussion because he is sure that it is not an attack against him.
“I have a very good friendship with Del Toro, what he is saying Somehow, it is that they leave Omar and me alone, there are other filmmakers that are not only Derbez and Chaparro,” said Eugenio Derbez.
Meanwhile, this was what Internet users thought through social networks about Guillermo del Toro’s anger: “Well, the truth is that Del Toro is right, already chole with Eugenio and Chaparro”, “All the reason. His movies are 🤢 ”,“ Until someone was worth what they thought or said about him. He said what we all think and chole with the programs and movies for fools that Derbez makes ”,“ And the García Bernal and the Luna, etc ”,“ There is more and better talent 👍🏻 ”.
