The Biggest Night on TV for Latinos!
LOS ANGELES – The stars of “Ugly Betty” and “Wizards of Waverly Place” will be among those lauded at next month’s ALMA Awards, which celebrate Latino achievement in entertainment.
Honorees in film, TV, music, sports and behind-the-scenes categories will be feted at the revamped ceremony, with one person in each category receiving a special achievement award.
Other honorees at the Sept. 17 ceremony at UCLA’s Royce Hall will include Javier Bardem, John Leguizamo, Penelope Cruz and Rosario Dawson. Salma Hayek will be given the Anthony Quinn Award for Industry Excellence while Oscar De La Hoya will receive the Special Achievement in Sports Television. Rita Moreno will present a tribute to the late Ricardo Montalban.
The show, televised by ABC, will be hosted by comedian George Lopez and “Desperate Housewives” star Eva Longoria Parker, who also serves as executive producer. Performers will include David Archuleta, Nelly Furtado, Selena Gomez, Sean Kingston, Pitbull and Luis Fonsi. Adam Rodriguez, Benjamin Bratt, Michelle Rodriguez, Oscar Nunez and Rey Mysterio are among the show’s presenters.
The ALMA Awards were created in 1995 by the National Council of La Raza, a national Latino civil rights and advocacy organization, as part of its effort to promote diverse and fair portrayals of Latinos in the media. ALMA stands for American Latino Media Arts and also means “soul” in Spanish.
Thanks to Archuleta Avenue for the quick find and also to cnbc
All about the ALMA Awards (from Wikipedia)
The American Latino Media Arts Award, or ALMA Award is a distinction awarded to Latino performers (actors, film and television directors, musicians, and designers) who promote positive portrayals of Latinos in the entertainment field. In Spanish, the word alma means spirit or soul.
Created in 1995 by the National Council of La Raza (NCLR), it takes over from the previous Bravo Awards. The awards are part of NCLR’s strategy to counter the alleged negative stereotyping of Latinos in U.S. entertainment. The awards are given during an annual ceremony generally held in the summer.
Yeah! David on ALMA Awards! Hopefully, this will be televised on Philippine TV too! Any news regarding the shows schedule on TV, pls report to us.
