Interview. The five great candidates for the Goya: "The platforms have already won the battle"
Interview: Few open their eyes like Andrea Fandos, the Goya girl
Nominations: Adú, by Salvador Calvo, favorite against the odds of the Goya Awards with 13 nominations
Controversy. Academics protest against the telematic Goyas: "If the culture is safe, why suspend the gala?"
The adjective strange is undervalued.
So far from March of last year to this one, everything that was strange before has already passed into the family.
Even Fernando Simón.
That one especially.
And vice versa, everything that at the time seemed normal to us, we have now forgotten.
The year of the worst box office of all time has also been the year of the best screen share of Spanish cinema.
It was the year that theaters closed and precisely the year that we watched the most movies on
streaming
.
And so.
Today's Goya ceremony does not resist such extravagance and for the first time the '
show
' scheduled for 10 p.m. on Saturday will be presented in a format that has been called
hybrid
or mixed or blended or just crazy.
The nominees will show us their house via Zoom (the great master of ceremonies of all this time) and Antonio Banderas and María Casado will dance from the stage of the Soho theater in Malaga.
Impossible to miss it.
So, and to anticipate the comings and goings of Wi-Fi, if we trust the previous route in both the Forqué and the Feroz awards, everything seems to indicate that
'The girls
' should also win here.
Not in vain, the film by
Pilar Palomero
follows point by point the route of '
Verano 1993
', by Carla Simón in 2018. After being presented in Berlin, it won in Malaga and in the Goya he won the statuette of best debutante.
The latter seems more than assured.
He did not finish winning completely because '
The bookstore
', by Isabel Coixet, prevented him.
But there it was.
Among the rest of the nominees for best picture, two of them have already won.
Both
Cesc Gay
for '
Truman
' in 2016 and
Icíar Bollaín
for '
I give you my eyes
' in 2004 can boast of having been moved live, not in '
streaming
'.
In the beginning, the data does not have to play against.
However, it does the fact that '
Sentimental
', from the first, and '
Rosa's wedding'
, from the second, are comedies and that never seems to play in favor.
It's unfair, but it's true.
Of the other two, '
Adú
', by
Salvador Calvo
, claims to be the most nominated with 13 nominations, as corresponds to the only production the list endorsed by a large production company (Telecinco cinema).
There is money, there are more guilds in it and even more promotion
.
However, its distant premiere (before the pandemic) makes it a complete anomaly from the outset.
Never before has a film that hit theaters so far from the gala celebration has managed to win.
It is true that there has never been an epidemic before.
'
Ane
', by
David Pérez Sañudo
, has already won the glory.
For being there and for that more than certain Goya to its protagonist
Patricia López Arnaiz.
In any case, it is never advisable to lose sight of the fact that the category for best film is voted by all the academics registered in any of the 15 guilds or specialties and 10%, those not registered, who only exercise their right to vote in this section.
They are the academic by work and grace of honor.
That makes the traditional chain vote (all for the same movie) tend to destabilize in the end.
In the last count of academics, the '
outsiders
', let's call them that, numbered 179 out of a total of 1,768.
The rarity extends to the category of steering.
Only two of the films that compete for the jackpot appear in this section.
Salvador Calvo and Icíar Bollaín.
Cesc Gay is misunderstood and Palomero is well understood since hers is the mention of the novices.
That
Juanma Bajo Ulloa
and
Isabel Coixet
slip in
,
the two practically alone (that is, with just another nomination for their films) is definitely unheard of.
One more piece of information to add to the extravagances of the year.
As for the interpreters, and beyond the aforementioned
López Arnaiz
, all forecasts are doomed to fail.
Maybe
Milena Smit
, for '
You will not kill
', and
Chema Blanco
, for
'The plan
', as revelations.
On the other hand, it would be strange if the documentary
'The year of discovery'
, by Luis López Carrasco, did not win after being the first to be nominated in the montage category and after having swept every festival it has stepped on.
Thus, it only remains to wait for the celebration of a "
hybrid
"
gala
in which the candidates wait at home for the announcement of their names.
At the Soho theater in Malaga starting at 10 pm, Antonio Banderas and María Casado will be the hosts and
Pedro Almodóvar, Penélopez Cruz, Alejandro Amenábar, Juan Antonio Bayona
and many others as givers.
Robert de Niro, Al Pacino, Dustin Hoffman, Helen Mirren
and other international stars will greet from planet Zoom.
May God distribute wifi.
