María Guerra , president of the Association of Cinematographic Reporters of Spain (AICE), says that if something defines the Feroz Awards, it is her character as an actor (or actress) of character. Or secondary, why not. But without complexes and much honor. They go after the Goya (before, if what counts is the calendar) and imitate without modesty, with or without permission of Ricky Gervais, the Golden Globes. And so year after year. And so until now that they reach their seventh edition based in the Madrid city of Alcobendas in perfect health (from 10 at night live in La Otra ). Of course, in what they are absolute protagonists is in their vocation to teach or make see the other side of the cinema and television that is not only the industrial one. The 235 members of AICE who vote watch the movies and series before voting. It seems obvious, but, do not doubt it, it is not so much among so much inflation of prizes and awards.

On the other hand, and here takes the word Guerra again: "We are the only awards in Spain that understand the audiovisual industry globally . And we are aware that this industry is in full transformation." It is said. As he will be in charge of reminding us all the veteran journalist at the gala that will be presented by actress María Hervás , we must not lose sight of the fact that cinema and series are a good part of that 2.4% of the GDP generated by culture in this country . That is, 690,000 jobs in 2018. "Many of those jobs, beware, are as precarious as that of many journalists," he adds as a claim, protest and coda. And there he leaves.

Actress María Hervás will be the host of the gala.

For the rest, 'Pain and glory' , by Pedro Almodóvar, goes to the appointment as a favorite. He is attended by 10 nominations. More original, and that marks the distances with the long rosary of awards in which the cinema lives this month, is the second film to consider. In the comedy category, 'Advantages of traveling by train', by Aritz Moreno, continues from not far to the production of El Deseo. Seven are his mentions. The winner in Sitges 'El hoyo', by Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia, and 'La trenche infinita', by Jon Garaño, Aitor Arregi and José Mari Goenaga, wear the two six. 'What burns' gets five and 'While the war lasts', four.

Regarding the series, where the division between drama and comedy is also effective, the poster appears headed by Leticia Dolera's 'Perfect Life', which literally sweeps five nominations. It is followed by ' Paquita salas ' with four, while ' Vota Juan', 'En el corredor de la muerte' and ' Hierro ' get three each.
