The 2014 NCLR ALMA Awards honor Latinos in Hollywood and tonight we are in for a treat as we celebrate our culture and the strides we've made in the industry. Hosted by Eva Longoria and Mario Lopez, the gala is expected to be spectacular with famous faces we love to see on television, music and film. Confirmed to appear are personalities like Enrique Iglesias, Pitbull, Michael Peña, Stephanie Beatriz, Melissa Fumero, Aubrey Plaza, Charoand Rosario Dawson. The cast of "Devious Maids" Ana Ortiz, Judy Reyes and Edy Ganem will also make an appearance to present alongside Maria Canals Barrera and Fatima Ptacek, the voice of "Dora the Explorer." The ALMA Awards will air live from coast to coast in the U.S. starting at 10pm ET/7pm PT on MSNBC.
This year the acclaimed movie director, Guillermo Del Toro, will receive a special award for "Industry Excellence." The accolade will be presented to him by Zoe Saldana in honor of his strides in Hollywood directing some of the most ambitious films of the big screen. Some of his past work include "Pan's Labyrinth," "Pacific Rim," and "Hellboy" with production credits in movies like the upcoming "The Book Of Life," and "Biutiful," "Rudo y Cursi," "Kung Fu Panda 2" and "Puss In Boots." As this is the 15th edition of the NCLR ALMA Awards and because we love to celebrate "quinceañera's" we won't want to miss the show tonight. A group of 15 ambassadors will share the best moments of the past fifteen years that will show the impact and value the ALMAs are having in the celebration of diversity.
