“The Bridge,” “Chicago P.D.,” “Law & Order: SVU” and “John Leguizamo‘s Ghetto Klown” are among the programs nominated for the 29th annual Imagen Awards, which honor portrayals of Latino culture in television and film.
While some of the nominated television series are high-profile, the nominated feature films are less widely known to a mass audience. They include “A Miracle in Spanish Harlem,” “Cesar Chavez,” “Coyote,” “Sleeping With the Fishes” and “After School.”
The nominations were announced on Thursday by the Imagen Foundation.

Those five nominations, all in the Best Actress/Television category, made “Devious Maids” the most nominated television program. “The Bridge” was second, with four nominations, while “Chicago P.D.,” “Law & Order: SVU,” “Switched at Birth,” “Looking,” “Chicago Fire,” “The Haunted Hathaways,” “Dora the Explorer” and “Shake It Up!” each received two.

“Sleeping With the Fishes” was the most-nominated film, with five, while “Cesar Chavez” and “After School” had four each.
“Fixing Paco,” a web series starring comedian Paul Rodriguez that uses a mixture of comedy and drama to give information to the Latino community on kidney disease and diabetes, ran the table in the web series categories. It received nominations for Best Web Series: Drama, Best Web Series: Comedy and Best Web Series: Reality or Informational.
Winners will be decided by a panel of industry executives and Latino leaders. The awards will be presented on Friday, Aug. 1 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, and broadcast on an undetermined date as a one-hour special on PBS SoCal.
