Penélope Cruz is nominated again for an Oscar — this time for best supporting actress for her work in the acclaimed Woody Allen film “Vicky Cristina Barcelona.”
If she does win on Sunday, Cruz should be thrilled to receive the statuette from Javier Bardem, her compatriot and partner in Allen’s romantic comedy, who gets the honor for winning best supporting actor last year for “No Country for Old Men.”
Cruz, the only Spanish actress ever nominated for an Oscar, has now done it twice. In 2007, she got a best actress nod for her work in Pedro Almodóvar’s “Volver.”
She is also one of few Hispanics among this year's Oscar nominees, quite the change since two years ago when she was one of more than a dozen Spaniards and Latin Americans nominated.
