Ms. Venezuela is Ms. Universe 2008

Ms. Philippines, Jennifer Barrientos, didn't make it even to the top 15 of the Miss Universe Pageant held at the Crown Convention Center in Nha Trang, Vietnam, Monday. The countries in the top 15 were Kosovo, Venezuela, USA, Vietnam, South Africa, Australia, Japan, Dominican Republic, Hungary, Colombia, Russia, Italy, Czech Republic, Mexico, and Spain.

The five Latin countries also made it to the top 10. The Latinas obviously dominated the pageant as Colombia, Venezuela, Dominican Republic and Mexico made it to the top 5. They were joined by Russia, the only non-Spanish contestant who made it to the final elimination round.

Ms. Venezuela, 22-year-old Dayana Mendoza, won the crown as the 57th Miss Universe. It was the 5th Miss Universe crown won by Venezuela.

First runner-up was Ms. Colombia, followed by Ms. Dominican Republic (2nd runner-up), Ms. Russia (3rd runner-up), and Ms. Mexico (4th runner-up).

Other winners include Ms. El Salvador Rebeca Moreno (Miss Congeniality) and Ms. Thailand Gavintra Photijak (Best in National Costume).
