The 23rd Annual Imagen Awards take place Thursday, August 21 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills.

Nominated in the Best Variety or Reality Show category is "Mi TRL Awards," an annual awards show that recognizes and honors the people and music that make "Mi TRL" the "must watch" show for U.S. Latinos and sends winners home with a shiny "Gallo" (rooster) trophy. The nominated show was packed with some of today's hottest artists, such as RBD, Wisin y Yandel, Will Smith, Jessica Alba, Menudo, Snoop Dogg, Chris Brown, and Jaslene Gonzalez and Zuleyka Rivera performing, accepting and presenting awards, along with a surprise appearance by Diddy who opened the show to the delight of the fans who attended the awards show.

"Beyond Borders: An MTV Tr3s Immigration Forum," a network special that gave voice to Latino youth who were ready to go beyond the politics and rhetoric of the immigration debate, was nominated for Best National Informational Programming. The historic, first-ever of its kind on network TV event, brought together artists such as Ana Ortiz, Calle 13's Residente and Malverde; young people from Cal State L.A; and U.S. Congressman Xavier Becerra to explore solutions to the immigration crisis and discuss its impact on their families, education and everyday lives. It was hosted by journalist Gustavo Arellano.

MTV Tr3s' multiplatform music discovery initiative, "Descubre & Download" earned two nominations in the Best On-Air Advertising category for projects with newcomer Colby O'Donis and West-coast rapper Malverde.

Also earning nominations in Best On Air Advertising were three MTV Tr3s "Tu Pride" entries, "Sylvestre," "Elan," and "Ruben." "Tu Pride" is a series of mini-documentaries about young Latinos growing up today with a mix of cultural influences.

"The entire MTV Tr3s familia is dedicated to the positive and uplifting portrayal of the U.S. Latino experience and we are humbled to be recognized with these nominations by the Imagen Foundation," said Lucia Ballas-Traynor, Senior Vice President and General Manager, MTV Tr3s.

MTV Tr3s (mtvTr3s.com) is in 6.4 million Hispanic TV households and 34 million total TV households, making it the most-widely distributed TV network dedicated to superserving today's bicultural Latino youth. MTV Tr3s programming is rooted in the fusion of American and Latino music, cultures, lifestyles and languages. Music programming is at the core of MTV Tr3s and the channel features hitmakers, emerging artists and new sounds that resonate with young U.S. Latinos. In addition to music programming, the MTV Tr3s programming slate also features lifestyle series, news, documentaries and other long-form programs that celebrate US Latino hybrid identity and culture.

I write on the occasion of these awards to observe that the genius of popular entertainments is that they can seek and they often find the correlation between fear and desire. Americans fear what we have always feared -- a history that is out of our control. The genius of popular entertainments is that they give us a way of transforming objects of fear into objects of desire."

The winner was announced at a private reception Tuesday, March 27, at the Beverly Wilshire in Beverly Hills, California. Fox Sports en Español bested finalists ESPN Deportes and TuTv/Bandamax for the network’s second win in the category in three years. The NAMIC Vision Awards is the only entertainment industry event recognizing achievements in multi-ethnic, original cable programming. “What started out as one of The Vidal Partnership’s many innovative client solutions evolved into a groundbreaking branded entertainment property that not only struck a chord with viewers and consumers alike, but also delivered huge dividends for our advertisers,” said Tom Maney, senior vice president of advertising sales for Fox Sports en Español. “We are delighted to share this award with our partners at Vidal, Animus Group, Zeal Productions, and Nissan North America as it’s a perfect example of the true power of collaboration and what can happen when you put clients and viewers first.” In 1997, Mexico and the U.S. competed against each other twice to qualify for the 1998 World Cup. Both games resulted in a draw. “El Reto Final Nissan,” a five-part reality show that aired exclusively in Spanish on Fox Sports en Español in April and May 2006, tells the story of the original matches and of the intense competition that characterizes them through archival footage of the games and interviews with the players and devoted fans. In five, unscripted episodes, players who qualified for the U.S. and Mexico teams nine years ago were ambushed, persuaded to join their former colleagues, and put through intense training sessions and practices to prepare them for the ultimate rematch. El Reto Final 2, the second installment of the branded entertainment program which will pit former World Cup teams from Mexico and Argentina, will debut on Fox Sports en Español in April of this year. The NAMIC Vision Awards is the only industry event of its kind to honor cable television entities that have demonstrated a commitment to producing quality, multi-ethnic and cross-cultural programming content. The Vision Awards are judged by professionals from the entertainment industry, media, education and civic community. In addition to foreign-language, categories include comedy, drama, music and variety, news and information, children’s programming, documentary and comedic and dramatic performance, among others. Fox Sports en Español’s Premios Fox Sports, the network’s signature annual awards show honoring the contributions and accomplishments of U.S. Hispanic and Latin American athletes, was also recognized as NAMIC’s “Best Foreign Language Program” in 2005. “El Reto Final Nissan” previously nabbed “Best Variety or Reality Show” honors at last year’s Annual Imagen Awards. About Fox Sports en Español Fox Sports en Español features more than 1,500 hours of live, exclusive sports programming in Spanish and, with few exceptions, English SAP each year, including InterLigaTM, the Copa Toyota Libertadores, Copa Nissan Sudamericana, CONCACAF Copa de Campeones, and the FIFA Club World Cup soccer tournaments; the Major League Baseball playoffs, All-Star Game and World Series; the Caribbean World Series; and premier combat sports including championship boxing from Mexico and the U.S., Ultimate Fighting Championship and kickboxing.
