At the 25th annual Imagen Awards, which celebrate the achievements of Latinos in television, America Ferrara picked up her third award for her work on "Ugly Betty" as reported by the LA Times. Of course, it was a bittersweet moment, since Ferrara's Betty made her final appearance last April."I'm going to try and not cry right now," Ferrara said through her tears as she accepted the award. When someone shouted that he was sad from the audience, Ferrara agreed. "Me too. I just love her. I love the show. It was a period of my life that was just magical."
Not that she's concerned. "I'm not afraid I'm not going to work again. That's not why I'm crying," she clarified.

Congrats to America- she was well deserving of that award, as we saw her character in season 4 really make strides and progressed forwards, both in her career and personally as well. Not only was the writing for Betty great in that last season, but yet again America's performances delivered.
I'm sure many of us will echo her sentiments when she remarked: "Me too. I just love her. I love the show. It was a period of my life that was just magical."
Ugly Betty will undoubtedly be sorely and hugely missed by many of us fans, especially come this fall TV season in the U.S, and around the world. America Ferrera, we salute you as our Betty! :-)
