<i>Piñero,</i> Bratt among Alma nominees (3969)

Pinero, the wrenching film biography of bisexual poet-playwright Miguel Pinero, and the film's star, Benjamin Bratt, are among the nominees for the 2002 Alma Awards, honoring Latino achievements in entertainment. Showtime's Resurrection Blvd., which recently won a GLAAD award for an episode dealing with a character's coming-out, received the most nominations with a total of eight. Laura Elena Harring, playing a mystery woman who enters into a passionate lesbian love affair in Mulholland Drive, was also nominated, as was Julie Carmen, who played Rosie Perez's lesbian lover in King of the Jungle.
