Host EVA LONGORIA PARKER and CRISTIAN DE LA FUENTE announce nominations for The 2008 Alma Awards at The Universal Studios Backlot, California.

The annual ALMA (American Latino Media Arts) Awards recognizes and celebrates the outstanding artistic achievement of Latinos in film, television, and music. The ALMA Awards was created by NCLR in 1995 as part of its strategy to promote the diverse, accurate and balanced portrayals of Latinos in the media and the enhancement of the Latino image in the entertainment industry. The show is an example of how inclusion strengthens the entertainment industry, just as diversity strengthens our country.

This year, the executive producers are Michael Levitt, Janet Murgua, Eva Longoria Parker and David Chavez.
