'08
The 2008 NCLR AMLA Awards, or American Latino Media Arts Awards, were held last night in LA with Eva Longoria hosting. The show will be broadcast on September 12 at 8pm on ABC. The ALMA Awards honor Latino performers and were started in 1995 by the National Council of La Raza, which aims to promote opportunities for Latinos in the US.
Last night’s big winner was the popular show Ugly Betty, with star America Ferrera named Entertainer of The Year:
U.S. TV hit UGLY BETTY was the big winner at this year’s (08) ALMA awards - scooping four of the ceremony’s most prestigious gongs.
The ALMA Awards, which took place on Sunday (17Aug08) at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium in Los Angeles, celebrates the artistic achievements of Latinos in the entertainment industry.
America Ferrera, who plays the title role in Ugly Betty, won the award for Outstanding Actress in a TV Series, while her on-set sister, Ana Ortiz, scooped the gong for Outstanding Actress in a Supporting Role.
The popular ABC show also landed the Outstanding TV Series award, as well as a nod for the series’ scriptwriter, Silvio Horta.
The Outstanding Actor Award was split, with judges failing to decide between Battlestar Galactica’s Edward James Olmos and Michael Peña for Walkout, with both receiving the honour.
In the movie category, Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett’s Babel was voted the Outstanding Motion Picture, with the film’s supporting star, Adriana Gonzalez, taking home the Outstanding Actress award.
Outstanding Actor in a Motion Picture went to Jesse Garcia for his role in 2006’s moving family drama Quinceañera. The event attracted a host of hot Latino stars, including Eva Longoria Parker, Jessica Alba, and Disney sensation Selena Gomez.

Here are photos of the arrivals and press room. Jessica Alba looks amazing, but that dress is a little too prom queen and I would like to see her in something more elegant. She probably doesn’t have much time to pick out a dress with a two month old at home. Also shown are America Ferrera, Ashley Tisdale, Paula Abdul looking ridiculous, Selena Gomez, Eva Longoria and Tony Parker, Ryan Secrest and Amaury Nolasco, Shakira, Charlie Sheen, Karina Smirnoff, Mario, Zac Efron and Rosalyn Sanchez.

Wasn’t Babel released like two years ago? Weird.
America Ferrara & Alba look totally beautiful. Gorgeous girls.
And is Zac Efron a strong Latina now?

“Eva, will you be bringing cupcakes or
finger sandwiches to our next meeting?” -
So, Alba decided she is Latina after all or what?
-
The girl in the yellow dress needs to take that pout back to the drawing board.

hahahha!! eva longoria is cracking me up with that horrible shot of her. she is just not an attractive woman. i don’t understand why is she is such a big deal. jessica alba shouldn’t have her saggy boobs on display like that, either. these are some of the most unflattering photos i have seen in a while. and since when is ashley tisdale latina? that pout looks ridiculous!!
-
Alba’s dress is quite lovely, but the neckline really doesn’t work.
I think America Ferrera looks charming, and I had to do a double-take at Eva Longoria because at first I thought it was Victoria Beckham! -
Put a little more highlights on Zac EFron’s hair and he will look like Florence Henderson (same hairstyle). That Selena girl is prettier than horse toothed Miley Cyrus. You’re right, Paula looks ridiculous in that crap she is wearing. Jessica Alba grew bigger boobs so her career can also grow and she decided to become latina because it is the “in” thing to do. I still don’t like her. I agree Eva Longoria looks like that spice girl Posh except her face doesn’t look all stiff and frozen. I love America Ferrara, she seems so down to earth.
-
Yay, for the not quite the Oscars!!
-
Jessica’s dress looks like it belongs in a bridal store circa 1990. As a bridesmaid, that dress is my worst nightmare.
-
Ugh, I’d like to take a scissors to Paula’s dress. America looks amazing and though I could care less about Eva Longoria, I love, love her dress.
-
Lo: I was thinking the same thing LOL.
Alba’s boobs look strange to me.
America Ferrara looks great, beautiful skin. I wish she would wear sexier dresses. You lost the weight, it’s ok to flaunt it:D
Eva Longoria…… hilarious!
