Latin Social Media Wrap-Up & Eiza Gonzalez News: Star to Host the MTV Millennial Awards
Eiza Gonzalez may have just taken a vacation in Mexico, but she'll soon find herself there again.
The "From Dusk Till Dawn" actress will be hosting the upcoming MTV Millennial Awards in Mexico. The show will be recorded on Aug. 12, but it will be aired on Aug. 17, notes El Universal.
"I was very excited when MTV asked me to host this year's show," she said. "It's a new experience for me, and a great challenge. This year on the MTV Millennial Awards you will see a new side of me and I am ready to make the show a super party."
The actress is also nominated for two awards: Millennial + Sexy and Bloodsucker of the Year.
Gonzalez shared the news on Instagram, where she posted a video asking people to tune in.
In the caption she wrote, "Surprise!!!! I'm very happy to be the host! Want to know more? Follow @mtvmiaw on Twitter and Instagram."
The show awards the best and the worst of the Internet. For example, Lucero's hunting picture and Cristian Castro's revealing outfit both circulated around the Internet and inspired many memes. They also brought negative attention to the celebrities, which is why they are both nominated for #EpicFail.
The first MTV Millennial Awards took place in 2013. About 25 million votes were cast, notes Viacom.
"After the overwhelming multi-platform success of the first edition, with great honor we confirm the second edition of the MTV Millennial Awards in México and we promise that this year will be bigger and full of moments that you will not want to miss," said Eduardo Lebrija, the VP senior general director of Viacom México. "It is not only an award show, it's the celebration of the incredible millennial generation and what is really relevant to them in multiple categories that range from digital to musical, even the content that went viral throughout the year."
