The nominations for the 2008 ALMA (American Latino Media Arts) Awards are in, and Grey's Anatomy star Sara Ramirez (Callie Torres) has been given a nomination for Outstanding Actress in a Drama Television Series!

Sara's competition in the category include:

• Valerie Cruz (The Dresden Files)
• Roselyn Sanchez (Without A Trace)
• Cote de Pablo (NCIS)

Sara Ramirez was also nominated last year in the category of Outstanding Actress – Television Series, Mini-Series, or TV Movie.

The ALMA Awards have rearranged categories slightly this year. In '07, Sara represented Grey's Anatomy and went up against the likes of America Ferrera (the winner, for Ugly Betty), Constance Marie (George Lopez) and Alexa Vega (Walkout).

We're happy to see Sara Ramirez get recognized - and with the exciting Callie and Erica developments in Season 5 of Grey's Anatomy, perhaps a Golden Globe or Emmy Award nomination isn't out of the question for next year at this time!
