Somebody give some smelling salts to the people of Babalu Blog

¡Óyeme caballero, qué pesa'os son esos cubanos de Babalú blog!

The cats at Babalú are virtually fainting over the fact People En Español has given their first ever "Best Actor Of The Year" award to Benicio del Toro for his portrayal of Ché Guevara: Our Dear, Dear, DEAR “Hispanic brothers and sisters” again hail Che Guevara… | Babalú Blog: an island on the net without a bearded dictator

Our dear, dear, DEAR, Latino brothers and sisters over at People magazine (en Espanol) have crowned Benicio del Toro as "Best actor of the year" for his depiction of Che Guevara.

Yet we search People (en Espanol) in utter, utter vain for any mention of Andy Garcia's Lost City?

Claro, because the Cuban always has to win Sticking out tongue

Here's my question to them: Would they be as offended if the movie had been a biopic of Fulgencio Batista or Augusto Pinochet?
