The 2024 ballots are in! ✨ I'm honored to once again be a judge for the 2024 Imagen Awards, a vital platform that not only recognizes but also rewards the outstanding achievements of our Latino community across entertainment. Now more than ever, accurate representation of our rich and beautiful Latino culture is crucial, as it is often overshadowed by divisive mistruths. Despite making up nearly 20% of the U.S. population and contributing $2.8 trillion in economic output, Latinos continue to be significantly underrepresented and misrepresented in U.S. films and TV series. According to the 2023 Latinos in Media report, Latinos represented just 3.1% of lead actors, 1.5% of TV showrunners, and 1.3% of directors. We can and must do better. I am grateful to The Imagen Foundation and Helen Hernandez for their unwavering commitment to uplifting and unifying the Latino community through storytelling. Here's to another year of celebrating Latino talent! Congratulations to all the nominees!
