After making history for Mexico by being part of the film “CODA”, which won the highest award in world cinema, Eugenio Derbez could not help but remember his detractors, who sometimes tried to humiliate him through his projects. In this edition 94 of the famous Academy Awards, the protagonist of “I don’t know they accept returns”, he talked about how he has overcome those criticisms.
In an interview with Gustavo Adolfo Infante for his YouTube channel, the Mexican producer also talked about last Sunday night when he was part of the celebrities invited to the Oscars 2022 and about the success of “CODA” which led him to pay a tender tribute to his mother by blowing a kiss to heaven in the middle of the award ceremony.
Eugenio Derbez was one of the stars that shone in the edition 60 of the Oscar Awards when taking the stage as part of the cast of “CODA”, a film that won Best Picture and marks a great triumph in the career of the Mexican comedian who recalled the difficulties he faced before.
When asked what he thought while on stage at the Oscars , Derbez pointed out that the first thing that came to his mind was his mother. Although he also remembered all those people and co-workers who made fun of him and they told him that he would never get far because he was “a television actor”.
“I thank the people for my career in the United States, but I also thank those who rejected me because they give me the strength every day to fight and to shut up. Thanks to the fact that they told me ‘you come from television and you are not going to be able to make movies’ and they closed the doors to me, thanks to that I realized that I had to move and make my own film because if not, I would not grow”

The presenter of Imagen Televisión recalled with Eugenio Derbez the discussion he had with Blanca Guerra about the tape “No refunds accepted” that was released in 2013 and meant a triumph in the comedian’s career, as the actress assured that she would not go far and that “she did not have the level”.
Derbez pointed out that he decided to invite Blanca Guerra to the film’s launch, however, with the final scene, that managed to move the viewers, the actress began to mock and laugh loudly accompanied by another person from the Academy who had attended with her.
“It was something that hurt me because I realized that He went with his sword drawn by force to see the movie. It hurt me a lot, but look, these are things that happen and fortunately already overcome. I think I am the least talented of the whole family, I am aware of my shortcomings and I know perfectly well that I still have a long way to go to be a great director, producer, actor, whatever you want, but I make up for everything with a lot of work to reach the level of those who are working”.
