First, this page seems good source of information:
https://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/DjangoAndNginx
Now, take note of the "location /site_media" directive in the above
link. This is basically telling the server that when there is a
request for localhost/site_media/some_file then check some_file from /
media. This is the main point here. You are serving the media from
filesystem path /media, and it is accessible from the www.somesite.com/site_media/
URL. I don't know about nginx, but it is probably crucial that the
location site_media is _above_ the other location directives.
If you are able to serve some static files from site_media/ path and
Django from root path you are close to solution. Then, using the above
example where /site_media was mapped to filesystem path /media, you
will need to actually have the media files under /media/ file system
path. This is best done using Django's static media application. You
also need to tell Django to upload the files to /media directory.
Check Django's uploading files documentation for how to do this.

Sorry if some/all of the above is obvious to you. You have so many
questions packed in one post that it is hard to tell what exactly is
your question :)
Handling uploaded files and static media can be a little hard at
first. The new (as of 1.3) static media handling is actually very
good, but many net resources still use the old way of handling media
files adding into the confusion. Try to follow the documentation. If
it is hard to follow, please ask again. And remember that improving
documentation is taken seriously in the Django community, so if you
can't follow the documentation, then there is a chance to improve it.
Also, I haven't used nginx, so this is a learning process for me,
too :)
