The Hollywood Reporter’s Latino Power 50

“Following is The Hollywood Reporter’s first Latino Power 50 list, a guide to those writers, producers, directors, actors and executives who, through their ideas, perspectives and experiences, are changing show business as we know it.

In selecting the Latino Power 50, The Hollywood Reporter has focused exclusively on behind-the-scenes players within the film and TV industries and only included performers when they also are active as producers. The list does not include the many major figures working entirely within the Spanish-speaking world — either in Spain or Latin America or in the Spanish-language TV networks within the U.S. Nor does it include those working in the music arena.”

Here is a list of the top ten:

1. Alfonso Cuarón, Alejandro González Iñárritu, Guillermo del Toro (writer-director-producers).

2. Nina Tassler (president, CBS Entertainment).

3. Robert Rodriguez (writer-director).

4. Salma Hayek (actress-producer).

5. Armando Nuñez Jr. (president, CBS Paramount International Television).

6. Belinda Menendez (president, NBC Universal International Television Distribution).

7. Santiago Pozo (CEO, Arenas Entertainment).

8. Emanuel Nuñez (agent, Creative Artists Agency).

9. Jeff Valdez (founder of Sí­TV and co-chairman of Maya Entertainment).

10. Jennifer Lopez (actress-singer-producer).
