Latin Grammy Awards of 2001

The Second Annual Latin Grammy Awards winners were announced during a press conference October 30, 2001 at the Conga Room in Los Angeles, California.

The awards were to have been presented in Los Angeles, CA with a CBS national telecast September 11, 2001, but the telecast was cancelled because of terrorist attacks that morning in New York City, Arlington, Virginia, and Shanksville, Pennsylvania. The show's original hosts were Jimmy Smits and Christina Aguilera.

The live webcast and press conference were hosted by Jimmy Smits and Paul Rodriguez.
