Trying to Translate

I'm trying to learn Spanish by watching telenovelas. Please share your comments about the shows, too. I know I'm not the only English-speaking person who's hooked on telenovelas!

Hey -- why didn't Jaime Camil win?

No es justo! Why didn't Jaime Camil win Best Actor on the "TV y Novelas 2007" awards show? I'm sure Eduardo Yáñez did a good job on his show, but NO ONE could have been better than Jaime Camil as Fernando on La Fea Mas Bella.

Come on -- this gorgeous man had to make us believe he was truly, madly in love with Lety -- who wasn't just "fea" but seriously ridiculous with her grandma clothes and goofy laugh -- and he pulled it off. When he cried over his silly screen saver of Lety, we believed him! When he showed his very silly photo of Lety to total strangers and raved about how beautiful she was, we believed him! He gave a great comic performance AND a great dramatic performance. El es el mejor actor del mundo! Esta es un however-you-say-travesty!

And while I am complaining, "Heridas de Amor" should have won best direction and best theme song. And what was up with Diana Bracho not winning best primer actriz? Maybe she should have been nominated for best female villain instead. Anyway, she deserved a prize.

Oh well. Jaime and Diana -- on this blog, you're always winners.

My wife gets 'TV y Novelas' magazine at home, and right on the cover is Yanez saying "Jaime Camil should have won." So at least he agrees with you and made it public!

Good for him! I noticed that Jaime Camil congratulated him enthusiastically when he won. So they are both good sports. I would like to know the inside story on the judges' decision.
