The 2025 Golden Globe Awards nominees were announced yesterday, and Latinos were excited to see names like Sofía Vergara, Diego Luna, Selena Gomez, Zoe Saldaña, and Issa López getting their flowers and recognition for their incredible work in film and TV. One of those excited was Salma Hayek, who won a Golden Globe in 2007 as the Executive Producer of Ugly Betty, which won Best Television Series – Musical or Comedy award.
