Actress Salma Hayek didn’t want to pre-record a video acceptance speech for the MTV Movie Awards because of the fact that her category for Best Latino Actor wouldn’t be televised.

She told InStyle magazine, “When they told me I might win, I was asked to tape a message saying thank you. But the thing is, this particular award isn’t televised. Now, believe me, I am so grateful they acknowledge all of our great Latin performers, but I refused to tape the acknowledgement. If we Latinos are not worth their time on television, why should they be worth mine? I think we deserve better than that, so I told them I wouldn’t participate.”
