• Goya Awards 2021 List of all winners

  • Antonio Banderas. It was the 2021 Goya Awards: "There is no greater nightmare than empty movie theaters"

Sober, original, exciting.

And even fast.

It ended

even before its time.

Never seen.

It's going to be hard to get back to normal after this.

The one that took place on Saturday night from

Malaga

and from the whole world via zoom was by far the best Goya gala that these eyes have seen.

Eliminated the clumsy races through the corridors, the stupor silence on stage and the always renewed surprise at the weight of the statuette, were the tears, laughter and hugs.

In raw.

Memorable.

Everything developed as conscious of the moment that he occupies himself as attentive to what is to come.

Everything's fine.

Above awards,

the award went to the ceremony itself.

«Do I speak already?».

It was the first sentence that was heard from the

zoom.

The second:

«Come here hosts»,

from a Basque winner to a Basque husband.

And from here all shot (to that same "host", to quote the expert) and with the phone book of Banderas on fire.

Of all the possible mutes, only one.

And of all the voice couplings, a few.

But all, what things, they sounded sincere.

Girls,

by

Pilar Palomero,

thus ended up being the movie of the year.

The most exciting gala for the most exciting film.

Thrill for thrill.

It was logical and therefore predictable.

But he did it at the same time that some Goya to remember were distributed in a polite and almost proportionate way among almost everyone.

Nobody left empty.

It would seem that that was fair.

In a strange, rare, pandemic and even miserable year, all those who dared to release may deserve a prize.

And to this the

Academy

applied

.

And then there is the matter of

Santiago Segura.

The four Goya of the film that portrays the childhood of an entire country from the eyes of a girl in

Zaragoza

made the film's own trajectory good since it was presented at the Berlin Festival.

Then he won in Malaga.

And then in the

Forqué.

And then the

Feroz.

And now, finally, the Goya.

The newcomer director puts the entire film to rest on the absent gesture of the very young actress Andrea Fandos.

The film wants to play on contrasts.

On the outside,

Spain

(that is the country we are talking about) receives a new and multicolored time where

the Expo, the Olympic Games and the AVE

shine

.

Inside, everything insists on the gray color of the immutable, of the eternal, of the stale.

The result is a meticulous film in the description of each of the lies that make up the memory, beautiful in its drawing of sadness, clear in its most intimate paradox.

And thus become the movie of the year.

Ana María Ruiz López, a

nurse,

gave him the award

and each of the seconds of his brilliant intervention was gold.

That he also received the highest awards for novel direction, screenplay and, not least, photography, which for the first time in history receives a woman, the Colombian

Daniel Cajías,

highlights the obvious.

At his side,

Akelarre

left the ceremony converted into the most honored.

All the technical awards, five in total, went to the Basque film by Argentine director

Pablo Agüero

who attended the

San Sebastian Festival

competition

.

Not far and with the same Goya as

The Girls, Adú.

His 13 nominations ended up being four statuettes.

Among them, the best director,

Salvador Calvo,

and new actor, the French

Adam Nourou.

The Academy awarded in this way the only film of all those that appeared as candidates for something that has been among the 10 most viewed of the year.

The sixth to be precise.

It would not have made sense otherwise and even more after completely putting

Father

aside

there is only one 2,

the most seen of all of them.

But, that we said, is another matter.

However, in the natural order of the extraordinary in an extraordinary year, it is not advisable to miss what happened with

Ane,

by

David Pérez Sañudo,

and even with

The Year of Discovery,

by

Luis López Carrasco.

The first corresponds to the benefit of what explodes.

The film by the Basque debutant, although also somewhat from Madrid, proposes an angry and brilliant study of the recent past of

the Basque Country

that is also a metaphor for the abyss that separates generations.

Actresses

Patricia López Arnaiz

and

Jone Laspiur,

rather than just acting face to face, bite.

Among them and the screen itself.

It is fair that together with the award for writing (adapted script) they were the two.

Facing.

To bite.

And then there is the Murcian film

The Year of Discovery

which, not content with honoring the evidence by becoming the documentary of the year and of all the festivals it has passed through, also got the montage for

Sergio Jiménez.

For the first time something like this happens.

It is a film built on two screens where the past is mixed with the present in a virtuous diorama that turns the recent history of Spain into cinematographic living material.

Memorable was the gala, memorable, at least, these last two successes.

That

Rosa's wedding,

by

Icíar Bollaín,

was awarded with the song by

Rozalen

and the work of

Nathalie Poza

(supporting actress) and that

Mario Casas

finally got his Goya for

You will not kill

was part of the fair cast, of the fair ceremony , of the brilliant know-how of a huge flags.

"To all host".
