Achievements receiving Scientific and Technical Awards must demonstrate a proven record of contributing significant value to the process of making motion pictures.

Luna currently stars in and executive produces the Emmy®-nominated and Peabody Award-winning series “Andor,” reprising his role as Cassian Andor from “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.” Recently, he appeared in the limited series “La Máquina,” earning a Golden Globe nomination for his performance. His filmography includes such notable works as “Y Tu Mamá También,” “Frida” and the upcoming film “Kiss of the Spider Woman.” He has also directed several films, including “Cesar Chavez” and “Mr. Pig.” Luna co-founded the production company La Corriente del Golfo, which focuses on developing Mexican stories and talent.
