The Latin Grammys got off to a political start.

The 8 p.m. start time was delayed because of President Barack Obama's speech on immigration. And during the about 15-minute speech, the audience at the Latin Grammys watched Obama speak on a big screen. Obama announced that for 5 million undocumented immigrants, there would be temporary relief.

When Eugenio Derbez started the show, he took the opportunity to talk about Latinos and immigration.

"It was time that Latinos' right were recognized," he said. "We stopped being the minority a long time ago. Latinos are already a part of this country, everyone! So what better way to celebrate this occasion than with music? Latinos have always used music to cross borders!"

And he wasn't the only one making political statements.

Calle 13's Residente gave a powerful rendition of "El Aguante." He yelled that Ayotzinapa was everyone, and he wore a black T-shirt that said that in Ayotzinapa, there are 43 missing.

Host Derbez kept it light for the rest of the show. He brought out a fake baby, which he pretended was his newborn daughter, and he even knocked over and broke an accordion.

Performances

The show didn't bring many surprises. Although there were a series of strange collaborations, all had been previously announced on the Latin Grammy site.

Juanes was one of the most memorable of the night. His set looked deceivingly simple, and he and his band were all dressed in white. As he played a medley of his hits, such as "La Camisa Negra," the background changed to include things like fire and birds.

Ruben Blades' performance wasn't as showy, but he did have two people dance the tango as she sang.

In addition, Marc Anthony and Pitbull performed many times on Thursday night.

Anthony performed with an energetic Carlos Vives and also joined Magic! on stage for a bilingual version of "Rude."

Pitbull teamed up with Wisin and Chris Brown, as well as with Carlos Santana. Santana and Pitbull did an updated version of "Oye Como Va."

The night ended with Enrique Iglesias performing "Bailando" via a pre-taped performance. The Spanish singer was in Paris as part of his tour, but Iglesias, who took home three awards, has been an important part of Latin award shows this year.

Other Highlights

Angelique Boyer and Sebastián Rulli nearly stole the show. The two presented Album of the Year, and as they stood on stage, the audience urged them to kiss. Boyer and Rulli remained professional and presented the award, which went to Paco de Lucia for "Cancion Andaluza." The Spanish flamenco guitarist died in February 2014, but audiences seemed a little more interested in Boyer and Rulli kissing. The award show marked their first big outing since admitting they are a couple.

Carlos Vives won Best Contemporary Album for "Más + Corazón Profundo," and when he went to accept his speech, he did his best Celia Cruz and Tito Puentes impression. Vives said that he appreciated winning. One year, he was nominated for many categories, and he ended up going empty handed.

The Person of the Year was Joan Manuel Serrat, and the artist performed before giving a speech. He explained that he was given the award the night before, but that it was taken away from him so that he could receive it again on the night of the show.

He got a standing ovation, and he thanked his mother, teachers and fans.

The Latin Grammys also took a moment to honor the artists that passed away in 2014. Gustavo Cerati, Cheo Feliciano and de Lucia were among the musicians featured.

Best Dressed

Three women were the clear winners of the green carpet.

Chiquinquira Delgado wore a bright yellow dress with a full skirt. She was easy to spot and went for something that didn't look like what many others wore.

Eiza Gonzalez also wore a beautiful gown. Hers was more embellished, and it featured a sheer skirt. The look was sexy, but it wasn't too revealing.

Alejandra Espinoza proudly showed off her baby bump while on the red carpet. While her dress shows a bit of skin, it was an interesting gown. There was probably no one who was happier than Espinoza on Thursday night.
