PASADENA, Calif. - "Babel" won four awards, including outstanding motion
picture, while the quirky TV comedy "Ugly Betty" also captured multiple
honors Friday at the 2007 ALMA Awards, which honor achievements by
Hispanic artists.
"Babel," which wove together stories in several languages on three
continents, also earned the movie director award for Alejandro Gonzalez
Inarritu, movie actress honor for Adriana Barraza and outstanding
screenplay for Guillermo Arriaga.
The outstanding movie actor was Jesse Garcia for his work in
"Quinceanera."
"Babel" was nominated for seven Academy Awards and won an Oscar for best
score this year.
"Ugly Betty" earned the ALMA award for outstanding television series,
miniseries or TV movie. Based on a Colombian telenovela, the ABC
comedy-drama centers on a dowdy young Latina with a blazing spirit who
intends to make her mark on the world.
Its star, America Ferrera, was named outstanding actress, Ana Ortiz
earned the supporting actress award and Silvio Horta received a writing
nod for the pilot.
The National Council of La Raza, the country's largest Hispanic advocacy
organization, created the ALMA Awards in 1995 to honor Hispanic
performers and promote positive images of Hispanics in entertainment.
ALMA stands for American Latino Media Arts and also means "soul" in
Spanish.
The awards were presented at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium. The ceremony
will be televised June 5 on ABC.
