Singer/songwriter Shakira has three nominations (“Best Moves”) and popular rocker Juanes has two with “Favorite Rock Star.”.”

In the film category, Antonio Banderas is nominated for “Can he act or what?” along with fellow thespians Andy García, Jaime Camil and John Leguizamo. The films nominated for “Favorite Flick” are “7 Días,” “Four Brothers,” “Rosario Tijueras,” “The Legend of Zorro” and “Voces Inocentes.” In the sports category, Alex Rodriguez, Cuauhtémoc Blanco, Oswaldo Sánchez, and Guillermo “Memo” Ochoa rival for “Most Electrifying Player”. And in what has come to be the next day’s most talked about category, “Hottest Romance,” the celebrity contenders are Ana Bárbara and El Pirru, Araceli Arámbula and Luis Miguel, Dulce María and Memo Ochoa and Luis Fonsi and Adamari López.

In addition to the many awards that will be bestowed on Latin stars, several scholarships will be awarded to Hispanic youths for their academic achievement. Applications and additional information can be obtained at Univision.com and must be submitted by May 26, 2006.
