| The 2009 Fame & Shame Awards | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
On May 8, 2009, more than 350 New Mexico teens attended the 5th annual Fame & Shame Awards at the historic KiMo Theatre in downtown Albuquerque. Co-sponsored by New Mexico Voices for Children and the Media Literacy Project, the event is a mock “Oscars” ceremony, designed to expose the tobacco industry’s influence in Hollywood, and to point out how popular actors and movies encourage young people to start smoking. Youth presenters handed out “Shamie Awards” to actors, actresses, directors and producers who glamorize smoking in youth-rated G, PG and PG-13 movies. Throughout the evening, New Mexico youth portrayed the Hollywood stars, delivering tongue-in-cheek acceptance speeches to a chorus of boos from the audience.
All nominations for the Shamie Awards are from youth-rated (G, PG and PG-13) movies released in 2008.
