Tom Gustafson's musical drama beat out the favorites in a surprising awards ceremony outcome at the annual film festival.
GUADALAJARA, Mexico -- Tom Gustafson's musical drama Mariachi Gringo pulled off a big upset on Saturday at the Guadalajara Film Festival, winning best Mexican picture here in the nation's mariachi capital.

Thanks, Gil. I'm a big Were the World Mine fan--saw it at the Provincetown film festival in 2008, and Gustafson was there to introduce it.
So, I just watched the clip, and said to myself, That's Jimmy Olsen from Smallville. Wrong. That's his twin! Shawn Ashmore is in Mariachi Gringo and his twin Aaron Ashmore was Jimmy Olsen. Freaky!
