It was held on November 8, 2019, in the WiZink Center in Madrid, Spain.

[4][5] Actor César Vicente appeared on the stage to present the award for the Song of the Year in an apparent state of inebriation.

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.

[6] 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.

[7] 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.
