“There are only four Latinos among the Academy Award nominees this year — and two of them are facing each other in the Best Documentary Short category.

Director Isabel Vega’s film “La Corona,” about a beauty pageant in a Colombian prison, and producer Francisco Bello’s “Salim Baba,” which follows a projectionist in India, are nominated for the first time.

Both Vega and Bello are young filmmakers with links to New York.”*
