Incidents Actor César Vicente appeared on the stage to present the award for the Song of the Year in an apparent state of inebriation. He was hardly able to read the script and called for "those who come from an after" to say hello. Fellow actress Ester Expósito, who was co-presenting the award with him, tried to get him to focus on the task at hand as the crowd in attendance booed Vicente off the stage. At another point in the show, Javier Calvo admitting to having "drunk a lot" when he was presenting an award alongside partner Javier Ambrossi. César Vicente later attributed it to his "nerves" and admitted he had drunk "3 [glasses of] wine", while at the same time denied accusations of drug consumption.
The ceremony was also criticized for constant sound issues, the most notable one occurring during Sofía Reyes' performance when the show had to be stopped for five minutes because two tracks were playing at the same time.
