What do you get when you pair funnyman George Lopez with gorgeous gal Eva Longoria? An unforgettable fiesta in celebration of the nation’s leading Latinos.
“Alma” in Spanish means “soul” – and that’s exactly what the 2011 NCLA ALMA Awards are all about. Hosted by a dynamic duo, the one-of-a-kind tribute to pioneering Latinos in television, film and music kicks off Hispanic Heritage Month. While the awards show took place last week at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium, the show airs tonight at 8 P.M. EDT on NBC.
Target couldn’t wait to applaud the enriching contributions that Latinos make to American culture and to celebrate Hispanic heritage. Even Bullseye was on the carpet to cheer on his celeb friends!
