That’s it! Now that Billboard magazine and the Hollywood Reporter have named America Ferrera “Hispanic Woman of the Year,” (with a gala and whole enchilada included) I decided there is no reason for me not to be nominated for something —whatever (I’m not that picky).
So while I wait for some organization to realize I’m here and contact me with the great news, I am hereby nominating myself as the “Disgruntled, non-Famous, Certainly-not-Mainstream, Harlem-Beaner-Blogger of the Week.”
And if you think I have no reasons to support my claim, check out just a few of the awards that are out there (so many awards so little time to win them all!).
-Hispanic Entrepreneur of the Year (Hispanic Business Magazine)
-Hispanic Businessman of the Year (U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce)
–Hispanic Businesswoman of the Year (U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce)
-Hispanic Engineer of the Year (NASA)
-Hispanic Science of the Year (The Museum of Science and Industry)
-Hispanic Journalist of the Year (Hispanic Media Awards)
-Inspiring Young Latinos (Selecciones magazine)
-Hispanic Heritage Award (Hispanic Heritage Foundation)
-Hispanic of the Year (Hispanic Magazine)
-Latino Lawyer of the Year (Hispanic National Bar Association)
-Hispanic Nurse of the Year (The Hispanic Nurses)
…The list goes on, and on, and on….
MI BLOG ES TU BLOG 
me uno al comentario anterior hispanic ojos verdes of the year!!! creo que van a fluir los admiradores, que tu frances se ponga las pilas!!!
I love the irony of America Ferrera’s career of going from “Real Women Have Curves” and being praised for portraying a “real woman” to “Ugly Betty” and “can you please get on a strict weight loss plan because we don’t want you to be ‘too too ugly betty'”
An award for concise writing would be appropriate, too.

If a market is about incentives, the hispanic market is definitely a market.
You forgot the Hispanic ojos verdes of the year, but you have this prize already.
And there are the statewide awards, in California, Texas, New York, Florida, Illinois, etc. And of course, local awards as well. My favorite are the awards because you’re you, and the, how can I get a celebrity to my event award. I like the approach organizations like Hispanic-net have taken…give an award after you’ve given back to your community award. These are the most meaningful in my book. So ojos verdes, what have you done lately, besides your blog and having green eyes, to receive the CalMagazine.com award?

Yet if there was a White Lawyer of the Year award, people would scream “racism.” Pura hipocresía como siempre.
You missed out on the ADCOLOR™ Awards. Maybe next year.
