15 Movies To Watch if You Love Transformers
Fans of the Transformers franchise have a great catalog of films to enjoy, rewatch, dissect, and everything in between. But when they run out of Transformers films to watch, they, thankfully, have another, even larger, catalog of films to view that are just like the robots in disguise, whether because they share similar characters, thematic ideas, or even action sequences.
It doesn’t matter if it’s a film with giant robots or giant beings fighting each other. It can be an entry in a franchise soon to be connected with Transformers or even a movie that simply features a large, city-wide disaster. Whatever the case, plenty of films resemble the Transformers saga, making them ideal for fans to enjoy before the next installment in the franchise arrives. It’s also safe to say that a lot of the films below are arguably better than most of the Transformers films, anyway, so that’s a much-appreciated bonus.
15
‘Pacific Rim: Uprising’ (2018)
Be warned: Pacific Rim: Uprising is not nearly as good as its prior installment (most mecha movies, in all honesty), but it finds itself differing from it in a way that could most definitely appeal to fans of the Transformers franchise. It serves as a complaint from fans of the Pacific Rim franchise, because it’s different from the original film in a way they didn’t like, but Pacific Rim: Uprising‘s Jaegers move far faster and more agile than the likes of the first project.
This aspect makes the action a lot faster-paced in its choreography, which is a landmark of the action in Transformers. They may be giant robots, but boy, do they move fast. So, while the quicker movements in Pacific Rim: Uprising may be a bit of an antithesis to the physical language in Pacific Rim, it serves fans of Transformers relatively well. That doesn’t stop the movie from being quite mediocre, though, so go in with lower expectations.
14
‘Robot Jox’ (1989)
While it may be an older film, and some Transformers fans are most certainly more used to the high-octane visual effects from the more modern films, Robot Jox is a great watch for fans of the classic era of the franchise. The original series in the Transformers franchise, The Transformers (also called Transformers: Original Series), first aired just a few years before this movie came out: 1984.
This means that fans of this original show can bask in the glory of those, well, glorious 80s vibes that can be found in the series. Robot Jox is a staple of mecha projects from the 80s (and even early 90s), which means it’s also a pretty monumental movie when it comes to mecha projects. It can’t balance tone too well, but over the years, it’s found a niche fanbase who see it as a “so-bad-its-good” film, which can make it a comedic watch for those looking for something new, too.
13
‘Godzilla vs. Kong’ (2021)
Titanic creatures kicking the crap out of each other will always have great cinematic appeal. It doesn’t matter if it’s giant robots, kaiju, monsters, or aliens; there is something spectacular about larger-than-life beings making Earth their battle ring. Such movies keep audiences’ eyes glued to the screen for hours.
Godzilla vs. Kong features a giant monster fighting another giant monster before they eventually team up to fight another robotic monster. It’s a great parallel to the Transformers saga, capturing the sheer awesomeness of the monster-battle concept. Opening at the height of the pandemic, Godzilla vs. Kong proved to be a much-needed distraction by simply being one of the best recent monster movies. Thankfully, Warner Bros. Pictures seems to have zero plans to halt production on their MonsterVerse films, so fans can expect many more giant monsters fighting more giant monsters.
12
‘Cloverfield’ (2008)
From the brilliant mind of Matt Reeves, the man who directed The Batman, Cloverfield remains a groundbreaking film that changed the cultural zeitgeist. When a giant monster begins rampaging in New York, a group of friends struggles to get out alive while attempting a daring rescue.
Fans of Transformers will love Cloverfield for its giant monster and the sheer amount of destruction it causes throughout the film’s 1-hour and 25-minute runtime. One of the strongest aspects of any Transformers film is the excitement that comes from watching giant robots destroy everything in their wake. The robots in disguise also do a pretty good job of making the humans in the films feel small and at the mercy of something much larger, which Cloverfield does pretty much perfectly.
11
‘Kong: Skull Island’ (2017)
Another film that does a great job of making humans feel small among giant action sequences is Kong: Skull Island. However, it differs from Cloverfield in the sense that the film’s protagonist is the giant creature, getting to fight other gargantuan monsters on the island he calls home. Meanwhile, the humans unexpectedly exploring the island attempt to survive the rampage.
Kong: Skull Island is one of the best and most rewatchable movies in the MonsterVerse because of its competent direction and surprisingly emotional story. It succeeds as a summer blockbuster smash hit without feeling too shallow, even if it still prioritizes spectacle and action. It does what most Transformers films honestly fail to do, making the story just as important and resonant as the monster action.
10
‘Mazingrer Z: Infinity’ (2017)
A landmark mecha film that many outside of the anime fanbase unfortunately don’t know about is Mazinger Z: Infinity. The Mazinger franchise has been pretty dang beloved over the years, and for Transformers fans who haven’t visited this universe before, Mazinger Z: Infinity is a pretty great movie to check out.
Fans gave mixed reactions for the exact reason that Transformers fans might enjoy it: they felt it was an unnecessary revisit to the franchise, which also makes it more palatable for newer fans. When the world’s longest era of peace is interrupted, the former pilot of Mazinger Z, Koji Kabuto (Showtaro Morikubo and Wayne Grayson), finds a wild discovery beneath Mt. Fuji, which spawns a conflict with a classic villain.
9
‘Edge of Tomorrow’ (2014)
Edge of Tomorrow can be best described as Groundhog Day meets robotic action and war. The plot centers on William Cage (Tom Cruise), who battles through the same day of an alien invasion over and over, losing the war each time. However, he gets better with each redo, bringing him closer to beating the aliens once and for all.
Most Transformers movies end with an act three big war/invasion battle, which is done perfectly in Edge of Tomorrow. Not to mention that the soldiers in Edge of Tomorrow wear mechanized suits to help them combat the alien threat, capitalizing on the desire to be an automaton, even if just for a while. Edge of Tomorrow also just so happens to be one of the most underrated action blockbusters of all time and is worthy of a watch no matter what someone is a fan of.
8
‘Independence Day’ (1996)
As stated, the end of almost every Transformers film pretty much always has an end-of-the-world scenario where humans must team up with the robots to stop an incoming invasion. As arguably the original apocalypse flick, Independence Day pretty much defined a lot of the typical tropes seen in modern doomsday sequences in film.
The story sees aliens invading Earth, and with far inferior technology, humans must use their sheer indomitable spirit to make it out alive and win the day. This type of scenario is the same that many humans face in the Transformers films. Being far outmatched by the incredible might of the Decepticons, humanity typically needs to get creative and find incredible willpower to make it through to help the Autobots keep the planet safe. Beyond its similarities with the robotic vehicles saga, Independence Day is a seminal and triumphant sci-fi action spectacle that lends itself to multiple rewatches.
7
‘The Terminator’ (1984)
When it comes to robots in the film, it doesn’t ever really get more classic than The Terminator. When a cyborg assassin comes to the present day with a mission to kill the young Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton), she must team up with Kyle Reese (Michael Biehn) to escape. She soon learns her unborn son will lead the fight against the evil Skynet one day, thrusting her into the middle of a deadly adventure.
The Terminator features humans helplessly going up against advanced robotic beings who seek to destroy everything they know and love. Aside from that, The Terminator is one of director James Cameron’s best movies and continues to be a blueprint for filmmaking (especially low-budget filmmaking) to this day. The Terminator is one of the first and best examples of humans fighting against tech greater than themselves to stay alive.
6
‘Promare’ (2019)
In a post-dystopian world in which a massive outbreak of spontaneous human combustion races across the planet, the world finds its response in a team of mech pilots called Burning Rescue. However, not all is easy when they’re facing off against a terror group known as Mad Burnish and the police force, called the Freeze Force.
Depending on the era of Transformers one likes, the post-apocalyptic vibe can fit the vibe of whatever era they are watching, as the destruction during the war for Cybertron can most certainly be considered apocalyptic. And, as most “watch this because you like Transformers” films have, Promare features some iconic mech action.

‘Rush Hour 4’
Production in Fast Lane as Ratner Returns to H’wood
Published
“Rush Hour 4” is off to the races … pre-production is starting within weeks, cementing Brett Ratner‘s return to Hollywood, TMZ has learned.
Understand the words comin’ out of our mouth … the fourth installment in the popular franchise starring Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan was greenlit last November — shortly after President Trump randomly said he missed old-school buddy-cop comedies … specifically saying there needed to be another ‘Rush Hour.’
A source with direct knowledge tells TMZ … ‘RH4’ is absolutely happening — and soon — with pre-production set to begin within weeks, as spring arrives.
We hear shooting will begin this fall — and, of course, Chris and Jackie are attached to star.
The film is a big deal for a couple of reasons … mainly, it marks Brett Ratner’s return to Hollywood after he was banished from the industry in 2017 amid #MeToo allegations — which he has vehemently denied. Ratner, who recently helmed the record-breaking First Lady documentary “Melania,” will return as the director and co-producer of ‘RH4.’
Our source tells us … while Brett’s success with ‘Melania’ is great … ‘RH4’ was already fast-tracked after Trump voiced his support — which is also a pretty big freaking deal. Paramount’s handling the release on behalf of Warner Bros.
Bottom line … Detective Carter and Chief Inspector Lee are back for some more moo shu!
Spencer Pratt on LA Mayoral Run
Winning Will Be Easy Once Karen Bass Is In Jail!!!
Published
TMZ.com
Spencer Pratt officially entered the 2026 race for mayor of Los Angeles this week … and he says winning will be easy, because he says Mayor Karen Bass is probably going to jail!
Watch the video … TMZ caught up with Spencer at a campaign event Wednesday, where he followed in the footsteps of another famous reality star who ran for office.
TMZ.com
Spencer gave his opponent a pejorative nickname, “Karen Basura” — that’s Spanish for “trash” — and predicted her arrest. Sound like anybody else you know? This man basically took Donald Trump‘s whole flow! Watch the second clip … Spencer also delivered his plans for the city last night.
He told us, “Thankfully, before this event, the L.A. Times came out with what I’ve known since November … that ‘Karen Basura’ has literally obstructed justice and took the LAFD after-action report and altered it, which is a crime.”
Bass has denied the report she allegedly watered down of an after-action report that detailed alleged failings of the LAFD … but Spencer didn’t seem swayed. Bass has previously indicated she’s not too concerned about Pratt’s run.
As we reported … the 42-year-old announced his mayoral bid last month on the first anniversary of the Pacific Palisades wildfire, which destroyed more than 6,000 structures — including the house Spencer shared with wife Heidi Montag and their two sons.

And watch the video above to hear comedian Heather McDonald‘s glowing endorsement of Spencer.

Arguably, the strongest female character in Star Trek: The Next Generation was Dr. Beverly Crusher. Not only was she the Chief Medical Officer, but she had the same rank as Commander Riker, the Enterprise’s swaggering first officer. Given the character’s rank, it would have been perfectly plausible for her to hop in the captain’s chair and take command on a relatively regular basis. However, Dr. Crusher actor Gates McFadden recently revealed why this didn’t happen: Star Trek’s producers kept her out of the captain’s chair to make the arrival of Voyager’s Captain Janeway feel more special.
This information comes to us courtesy of Fan Expo Portland, where McFadden got very candid about her time on Star Trek: The Next Generation. She explained that the producers “knew they were going to have a female captain fairly early on.” Finishing her thoughts, she noted that “while I was put sometimes in the captain’s chair, since I had the same rank as [Will Riker], they were careful about how much they wanted to do that, because they were saving that for when Voyager happened.”
The Doctor Is In (The Chair)
The most notable example of Dr. Crusher being put in command happened during the two-part episode, “Descent.” To help search for Commander Data, Picard inexplicably sends himself, his bridge crew, and half the ship to canvas an unknown alien planet, leaving Dr. Crusher in command of the Enterprise. Her command skills are really put to the test, though, when she has to figure out how to defeat a new type of Borg vessel, which (not unlike the old vessels) is more powerful than her ship in every way.
Using a combination of scientific know-how and more than a little plot armor, Dr. Crusher takes the Enterprise into the planet’s sun. After that, she uses the ship’s phasers to trigger a solar eruption that completely destroys the Borg vessel. After seeing the good doctor kicking butt and taking names in the captain’s chair, it’s understandable that fans wanted to see more of Crusher in command.
No Future In Command
According to Gates McFadden, this didn’t happen very much because producers were busy developing Voyager. The timing of that show’s development generally matches McFadden’s account; Dr. Crusher led the Enterprise to victory over the Borg at the beginning of The Next Generation’s seventh season, which is exactly when the powers that be began working on Voyager. Because the producers knew the spinoff would have a female captain, they wanted to make Captain Janeway’s appearance special, effectively downplaying Dr. Crusher’s capabilities at commanding a starship.
Why was it so important for Voyager to have a female captain, though? While Deep Space Nine had proven to be a very successful TNG spinoff, Paramount wanted to create yet another Star Trek television show. Deciding that the new show would take place on a starship (hey, you can only do the space station gimmick once!), the producers faced a unique problem: how to make a new Star Trek show with this familiar setting that didn’t just feel like a lazy copy of The Next Generation.
Star Trek Leans In (At Dr. Crusher’s Expense)
Part of what would ultimately make Voyager unique was its setting: namely, in the largely uncharted Delta Quadrant that the Borg call home. The crew would also be a mixture of Starfleet and Maquis personnel, which would provide (on paper, anyway) the potential for more character conflict than we ever saw on The Next Generation. Mostly, though, what set Voyager apart was that it was led by a female captain, a first for a franchise whose first show infamously claimed that women couldn’t become Starfleet officers.
Sadly, the production of Voyager kept Dr. Crusher sidelined from possible command duties. This is doubly painful because her character was often written very poorly, and she went from drunkenly throwing herself at Picard in Season 1 to boning down with a ghost in Season 7. She was also written out of Season 2 altogether by Maurice Hurley, the worst showrunner The Next Generation ever had.
Gates McFadden ultimately got the last laugh, though: Picard brought her character back for its third and final season, and both Dr. Crusher and her son became pivotal parts of the entire plot. This was arguably an even beefier revival of her vintage character than Kate Mulgrew got by voicing Captain Janeway in Prodigy. Furthermore, Picard even made Crusher an admiral and the new Head of Starfleet Medical, finally giving the dancing doctor her due after more than 35 years of writers holding her back!

This Disgustingly Fun Horror Romance Gives Frankenstein a Truly Twisted Upgrade [Exclusive]
They say there’s someone out there for everyone. That sentiment rings grossly and carnally true in Grace Glowicki’s sophomore feature-length production Dead Lover. Straight from the graveyard and onto your screen, today Collider is excited to exclusively debut the first look at the helmer and scribe’s newest project, which also sees her step into the starring role. Blending horror with comedy and using German expressionist cinema as its north star, the grotesque project follows a kooky beyond-the-grave love story and darkly depicts the lengths we’re all willing to go to in order to find and hold onto that special someone.
Known only as Gravedigger (Glowicki), the very first seconds of the trailer set the tone and mission of the main character behind Dead Lover. Stinking of the rot of the corpses that she buries, Gravedigger longs for someone to take her as their own. Eventually, her wishful thinking ends up paying off when a man known as Lover (Ben Petrie) shows her that there are other folks out there who are just actually into that deadly stink. Quickly becoming enamored with one another, the pair feels they’ve finally found their match, but soon, tragedy strikes and Lover is killed in a boating accident. With only the severed finger of her beau left, Gravedigger goes to grotesque lengths to hold onto the love that she’s unwilling to lose.
Dead Lover is far from the first time that Glowicki and Petrie have worked alongside one another, with the pair first joining forces for Petrie’s Sundance Film Festival entry, Her Friend Adam. In the time since then, the duo have starred in four feature films together, including Glowicki’s SXSW-debuting title, Tito. Most recently, ahead of their work in Glowicki’s new darkly comedic, neon-drenched, and brutal film, the two actors worked alongside folks like Jason Isaacs and Kate Dickie in Madeleine Sims-Fewer and Dusty Mancinelli’s thriller, Honey Bunch.
Who Else Is Behind ‘Dead Lover’?
In addition to starring opposite one another, Petrie and Glowicki worked behind-the-scenes in multiple roles to bring Dead Lover to vibrant life. For starters, they co-penned the script and additionally served as producers alongside Yona Strauss. Filling out the lineup of executive producers are Rhianon Jones, Tristan Scott-Behrends, Matthew Miller, Lexi Tannenholtz and Olivia Niuewland. Allowing Dead Lover to jump off the screen, grab on and not let go is the title’s director of photography, Rhayne Vermette, who previously found success through her debut feature, Ste. Anne, which celebrated its premiere at the Berlinale Film Festival followed by additional screenings at the Toronto International Film Festival and New York Film Festival.

Roommates, Melinda French Gates is speaking out as some jaw-dropping documents once again put Bill Gates in the spotlight. The latest revelations, connected to Jeffrey Epstein, hint at private and personal allegations that are raising eyebrows across the internet. While details are still emerging, Melinda is opening up about how the new documents have affected her personally and what questions remain unanswered.

Shocking Emails Allegedly Link Bill Gates To STI Claims
In a new interview on NPR’s ‘Wild Card’ podcast, Melinda Gates opened up about the latest batch of private communications connected to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. In emails, Epstein claimed that Bill Gates approached him seeking help with personal encounters and medication related to an STI from “sex with Russian girls.” The documents, which include millions of pages of Epstein’s personal emails, allege that Bill Gates sought medication to treat an STI and even tried to secretly give it to Melinda.
One email from Epstein details his frustration over having to delete emails “regarding your std, your request that I provide you antibiotics that you can surreptitiously give to Melinda.” A spokesperson for Bill Gates has dismissed the allegations as “absolutely absurd and completely false,” calling the emails a reflection of Epstein’s attempts to entrap and defame powerful figures.
Melinda Gates Speaks Out, Filled With Pain Over Claims
French Gates explained that reading the released documents filled her with “unbelievable sadness,” reminding her of the struggles she faced during her marriage.
“I’m able to take my own sadness and look at those young girls and say, my God, how did that happen to those girls?” she said.
Melinda also revealed that reading the documents brings back “very, very painful times” from her marriage. She added that while she has moved on personally, she hopes the women affected by Epstein’s crimes see justice.
TSR Comment Section Can’t With This Gates Drama
As soon as the news broke, folks ran straight to TSR’s Instagram comment section and were absolutely shook. Some said they believe the claims because “she said a whole lot even though she said very little,” while others celebrated that Melinda got out of that marriage. Meanwhile, a few commenters joked about running to unplug all their Microsoft products just in case it’s true.
One Instagram user @aivanelli commented, “I cannot fathom that pain 💔”
This Instagram user @lets.get.ready.to.stumble said, “Takes a strong person to turn her own pain into empathy & compassion for younger victims 💗”
And, Instagram user @hope_esq wrote, “She said so much without saying it“
Meanwhile, Instagram user @coach_ag3 added, “We hear you sis! We believe you sis and we understand you sis! She has overly explained this world to outsiders“
While Instagram user @womanownednetwork shared, “😢😢😢😢 I can only imagine what she has endured and how it impacting her emotionally. 🙏🏼”
Lastly, Instagram user @tsyagirldannieb said, “Melinda be thanking God every day you got out of it alive and well!! The things women go thru❤️”

“Our family is devastated. Everyone could take a lesson on how to live life from Chris.”
The 40-year-old former Pro Bowler also thanked friends, fans and supporters who stood by his family during Chris’ health battle … showing appreciation for the prayers and messages they’ve received during the incredibly difficult time.
Chris, who was just 42 years old, was known for his larger-than-life personality that made everyone feel his love. As his condition worsened in recent weeks, family and friends traveled from across the country to visit him in Little Rock, where he was receiving care.
Greg has previously spoken about their tight bond … with the brothers leaning on each other constantly as Chris fought the disease.

Netflix’s ‘The Lincoln Lawyer’ Showrunner Just Delivered Devastating News to ‘Bosch’ Fans
The Lincoln Lawyer is back for a fourth season on Netflix, and the legal drama keeps getting better. Based on Michael Connelly‘s books, the Manuel Garcia-Rulfo–led adaptation is among the highest-rated adaptations. The series is not the first time Connelly’s works have been adapted; the Prime Video series Bosch is based on his book series. In the fifth season of The Lincoln Lawyer, based on The Resurrection Walk, the two worlds collide as Harry Bosch (Titus Welliver) and Mickey (Garcia-Rulfo) — who are half-brothers — team up to investigate and exonerate a woman wrongly accused of murdering her husband. Unfortunately, fans won’t see this team-up.
Since the rights to Harry Bosch are owned by Prime Video, Netflix cannot use the character in The Lincoln Lawyer. However, this family aspect of the story is important, and Netflix has a workaround. The Lincoln Lawyer‘s showrunner, Ted Humphrey, confirmed to TV Fanatic that while Bosch is not coming to help, they have a replacement lined up. “We are certainly allowed to create new characters, and we can certainly expand the world. If we have an interesting idea for how to expand the world of Mickey’s family, we can look at how to do that,” he said, before adding,
“There are a lot of interesting guest stars and new faces to the show this season. I think the audience will have to look out for who they are.”
Among some of the various guest stars in The Lincoln Lawyer Season 4 is Cobie Smulders. The actress was cast in an undisclosed role, with the character’s arc expected to extend to Season 5. In the final minutes of the Season 4 finale, she introduces herself to Mickey as his sister Allison after saving him from a targeted mob hit. With The Resurrection Walk chapter of Mickey’s life exploring Mickey’s family and Allison showing the physical prowess displayed by Harry Bosch, Netflix finds a way to seal that gap.
Titus Welliver Is Not Done with ‘Bosch’ Yet
The character might not be appearing in The Lincoln Lawyer Season 5, but fans can catch him in the next season of Ballard. “I’m going to do three episodes [of Ballard] starting in February, so I’ll go and join up with Maggie Q and the whole Ballard group again. So I’m excited for that. It’ll be fun,” Welliver recently said in an interview with FabTV, confirming that he will indeed appear in the spin-off. Fans can also catch him in his post-Bosch era in the fourth season of Dark Winds, premiering on February 15.
The Lincoln Lawyer Season 4 is now streaming on Netflix.

Billie Eilish’s brother, Finneas, is coming to her defense amid criticism over her anti-ICE speech at the 2026 Grammys.
“Seeing a lot of very powerful old white men outraged about what my 24 year old sister said during her acceptance speech. We can literally see your names in the Epstein files,” Finneas, 28, wrote via Threads on Wednesday, February 4.
Eilish, 24, was among the stars who made impassioned speeches about U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement at the Grammys on Sunday, February 1, as she accepted the Song of the Year prize for “Wildflower.” Finneas, the song’s cowriter and producer, joined her on stage.
After thanking the Recording Academy, Eilish said, “As grateful as I feel, I honestly don’t feel like I need to say anything but that no one is illegal on stolen land.”
The 2026 Grammys proved once again why they call themselves music’s biggest night. After an unforgettable opening performance by Bruno Mars, host Trevor Noah helped kick off the annual awards show by spotlighting all the talented stars inside the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. “The Grammys celebrates the best of all music, and when I […]
“And yeah it’s just really hard to know what to say and what to do right now and I just feel really hopeful in this room and I feel like we need to just keep fighting and speaking up and protesting. Our voices really do matter and people matter,” she added.
The singer appeared to say, “F*** ICE,” however, her words were bleeped out on the CBS broadcast of the event.
Both Eilish and Finneas wore “ICE Out” pins to the music awards ceremony, held at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
Bad Bunny, 31, also spoke out against ICE during his acceptance speech for Best Música Urbana Album for his LP, Debí Tirar Más Fotos.

“We’re not savage, we’re not animals, we’re not aliens. We are humans and we are Americans,” Bunny, real name Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, said.
“I want to say to people, I know it’s tough not to hate in these days, and I was thinking we get contaminados — I don’t know how to say that in English,” he added, using the Spanish word for “contaminated.”
“The hate gets more powerful with more hate,” Bunny, who is Puerto Rican, continued. “The only thing that is more powerful than hate is love. So, please, we need to be different. If we fight, we have to do it with love. We don’t hate them. We love our people, we love our family and that’s the way to do it. With love. Don’t forget that, please.”
Fellow Puerto Rican singer Ricky Martin praised Bunny’s speech in an open letter published in Puerto Rican newspaper El Nuevo Día on Tuesday, February 3.
The Grammy Awards are known as “music’s biggest night,” but the Recording Academy also hands out a ton of trophies in non-musical categories — and you might be surprised to find out who’s won them. One of the major sources of unusual Grammy winners is Best Spoken Word Album, first awarded in 1959. This prize […]
“When you defended the immigrant community, when you pointed out a system that persecutes and separates, you spoke from a place I know very well, that place where fear and hope coexist, where millions live between languages, borders, and deferred dreams,” the “Livin’ la Vida Loca” singer wrote.
Martin also lauded Bunny for winning the night’s top prize, Album of the Year, for Debí Tirar Más Fotos. The record is the first Spanish-language album to receive the award.
Martin, 54, wrote, “This achievement is for a generation to whom you taught that their identity is non-negotiable and that success is not at odds with authenticity. From the heart, from one Boricua to another, with respect and love, I thank you for reminding us that when one of ours succeeds, we all succeed.”
