It was all about “Babel” and “Betty” at the 2007 ALMA Awards.

Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu’s culture-clash drama was named Outstanding Motion Picture at the annual kudosfest honoring Latino achievements in film and television (which taped Friday and aired Tuesday on ABC), while ABC comedy “Ugly Betty” was deemed Outstanding TV Series, Miniseries or TV Movie.

But while the array of nominees was diverse, the eventual winners list was not, with “Babel” and “Ugly Betty” each scoring a leading four trophies apiece.

“Babel” nearly swept the entire film portion of the ALMAs, with Oscar nominee Adriana Barraza earning a win in the Outstanding Actress category and former longtime collaborator Gonzalez Inarritu and Guillermo Arriaga pocketing honors for directing and screenwriting, respectively. (The duo had a falling-out just days after this year’s Academy Awards, in which their movie lost out to “The Departed” for the top prize.)
