• On occasion, some winners have been booed during the presentation of the Copihue de Oro. Such was the case with Felipe Camiroaga, awarded as Best Host in 2010, whom the public blamed for the separation of Katherine Salosny from Buenos Días a Todos.^{[5] [13]} A similar situation occurred with the Best Host of 2016, Luis Jara, who was booed after the departure of journalist Álvaro Sanhueza from the morning show Mucho gusto.^[14]
