If Trejo doesn't get some sort of award, I will be mad. I don't even care if it is a rerun.

His IMDB page is quite extensive and he's definitely a fan favorite. Prob for me is is that I have no idea who is American Latino or not even though I'm a movie buff. So Alfonso Cuaron is not eligible, too bad.

He's Mexican. Javier Bardem is Spanish. I checked the ALMA page and it say 'American Latino' so I suppose those two are ineligible.

I had NO idea that Trejo is 70, good lord!

Saw this thread and I was baffled, I spent my younger days stomping about near Alma, Oregon. See link.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alma,_Oregon

So I looked up this ALMA award thing [wiki link]:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ALMA_Award

From above link:

"The American Latino Media Arts Award, or ALMA Award is an award highlighting the best American Latino contributions to music, television, and film. The awards promote fair and accurate portrayals of Latinos."

************

Perfectly ridiculous.

Didn't Trejo star in some badass movie not too long ago?

What's the over/under on this thread being closed and/or deleted?

Oh, come on now. Machete is a perfectly accurate portrayal of a Mexican ex-Federale with superhuman abilities.

Something, something, something about Hispanic/Latino entertainers being mainstream American entertainers.
