We haven’t attended in a couple of years but we wanted to give a shout out to the winners of this year’s 29th Annual Imagen Awards, which took place on Friday, August 1 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.
This year’s special recognition went toPrime Time Emmy® nominee Fred Armisen, star of Portlandia who received the Norman Lear Writer’s Award—and a funny thing, most people don’t know he’s part Latino. Also honored were television host and model Daisy Fuentes who received the Imagen Foundation’s President’s Award and Manny Coto co-creator, writer and producer of 24: Live Another Day, who received the Imagen’s Creative Achievement Award.
The event will be broadcast on Saturday, September 27 at 10 p.m. on PBS SoCal.
