La exitosa estrella colombiana se suma a la selecta lista de hispanas nominadas a los prestigiosos premios en la categoría "Mejor actriz de reparto en TV" .
(Beverly Hills, CA, 15 de Diciembre 2011) - Latin WE tiene el orgullo de anunciar que su estrella exclusiva, Sofía Vergara, ha sido nominada en los prestigiosos Premios Golden Globes, como "Mejor actriz de reparto en TV" por su papel en la comedia "Modern Family", siendo una de las pocas latinas en alcanzar tan anhelado reconocimiento. Vale la pena anotar que es la única actriz de comedia nominada en la categoría este año. Ya Vergara había recibido una nominación el la pasada entrega de estos galardones además de dos en los Emmy.
Con su talento, espontaneidad y profesionalismo, Sofía suma un nuevo logro en su cada día más afianzada carrera en Hollywood. Su gran trabajo en "Modern Family", serie de mayor rating de la cadena ABC y la comedia más vista en el país, la ha llevado a tener no sólo el reconocimiento del público, sino también de la industria, de sus colegas y de la crítica en general.
Sofía Vergara, tuvo a su cargo darse ella misma la feliz noticia de su nominación, pues era una de las elegidas para anunciar las categorías y nominaciones junto a los actores Gerard Butler, Woody Harrelson y Rashida Jones.
"Estoy feliz, y es la segunda vez que anuncio mi propia nominación. El año pasado sucedió lo mismo en los Emmy. Es chistoso ver tu nombre. Para mí es un honor y una motivación muy grande para seguir dando más de mi," expresó Sofía. "Estoy celebrando rompiendo la dieta y comiéndome un cake completo".
"Modern Family", además de la nominación de Sofía, se alzó con dos más: "Mejor comedia" y "Mejor actor de reparto" para Eric Stonestreet.
"Modern Family" se ha convertido en la serie preferida de la televisión en Estados Unidos, allí Sofía le da vida a Gloria Delgado-Pritchett, una temperamental colombiana que tiene un hijo de un matrimonio anterior y se casa con un hombre 20 años mayor que ella.
Vergara no sólo asistirá los prestigiosos Golden Globe como nominada, sino también en calidad de presentadora de un premio el próximo 15 de enero del 2012. La gala será transmitida por la cadena NBC bajo la conducción del popular y controversial cómico británico Ricky Gervais.

JIGGA MAN’S HISTORIC EVENT!
Shawn “Jay Z” Carter sets the stage for HISTORIC evenings at the legendary CARNEGIE HALL. He will headline the first ever hip-hop focused series at Carnegie Hall, in the Stern Auditorium, raising millions for United Way of New York City and the Shawn Carter Scholarship Foundation. Performances will be on:
February 6, 2012 at 8pm and
February 7, 2012 at 9:30 pm.
“It’s every artist’s dream to play a venue as legendary as Carnegie Hall”, commented Jay Z. “The fact that I can use the arts and my talent to benefit the education of the next generation of artist, entrepreneurs’, and great thinkers makes for a legendary night. I’m proud to be a part of the continuing work of United Way of New York City and the expanding Shawn Carter Scholarship Foundation”.
The mission that night is most important. Poverty has the strongest correlation to dropout rates. New York City has the largest income gap in the U.S., and 30% of children in New York City live in poverty. Along with the statistics that show 39% of our New York City students who enter High School will not graduate on time.
The Shawn Carter Scholarship Foundation (SCSF) was conceived with his Mother Gloria Carter in 2002 and established as a public charity in 2003. The vision and mission is to help individuals facing social-economic hardships further his or her education at institutions of learning. Shawn and his mother kicked off the Foundations efforts by awarding one student with full college tuition in 2003. To date, the foundation provides up to 120 scholarships to students in 50 different states. Since the SCSF inception, over 750 students have received awards totaling over $1.3 million dollars.
Executive Director, Dania Diaz of the SCSF, states “this a very simple mission. Lets give young people who are really struggling in opportunities to live their dreams, go to college and pursue higher education.” “We are delighted to begin what I believe could be a great partnership with United Way and really expand the educational opportunities for many students along the educational pipeline. We are focused on increasing college access; we are focused on increasing opportunities’ for higher education, whether that’s vocational education, at a trade school, at a community college level or a 4-year college. We are looking at all avenues for success and we have been doing that for some time because we know that one third of the low income population will enter college and about one seventh will actually graduate from college. So we’re really looking at support systems throughout the pipelines to make it easier for young people to succeed and to really supports the President’s national call to “to get that lead back.”
United Way New York City is a wonderful organization that has dedicated more than 20 years of hard passionate work. Working with early childhood centers, public schools, families, students and educators to address barriers to success inside and outside of the classroom. Fighting poverty across five boroughs, they have designed and invested in evidence-based programs that help low-income New Yorkers achieve educational success, income stability and good health.
I can’t think of a better way to support our future. Education is the key to success. Whether you can attend this historic event or not look up these Foundations and make a donation, volunteer at your local public school. Encourage your children to study. Our children’s education is so important to our country’s future. Make a difference starting today!
