Nominated. 12 favorite films for the 2021 Goya Awards
Adú Interview with Salvador Calvo, director of 'Adú'
The
2021 Goya Awards
gala
will be special for many reasons.
Due to restrictions due to the pandemic, the show on Saturday March 6 at the
Teatro del Soho Caixabank in Malaga will
combine
face-to-face with telematics
.
But that does not mean that the tension, the moments of joy and, above all, the musical performances do not appear.
We have selected
seven details
to watch out for on Saturday 6, starting at 10 pm, in La1.
THE SHOW MUST GO ON
Only the presenters of the gala will be at the Soho CaixaBank Theater in Malaga, those who deliver the awards (
Pedro Almodóvar, Penélope Cruz, Alejandro Amenábar, Leonardo Sbaraglia, Emma Suárez, Jon Kortajarena or JA Bayona
, among others) and the artists who participate in musical performances such as
Vanesa Martín, Diana Navarro, Nathy Peluso and Aitana
, together with the Malaga Symphony Orchestra.
Brays Efe will
chat with the guests on the red carpet and connect with some nominees in a
special that can be seen on Facebook
.
This year there will be no nominees sitting in the theater seats, so
the winners will receive their award at their homes or hotels
.
We have already seen something similar at the Golden Globes and Emmys and it worked relatively well.
They took more risks at the MTV Awards, with outdoor performances.
In Spain, the Forqué and the Feroz Awards were organized in the form of face-to-face galas with an audience that strictly complied with the hygienic-sanitary measures imposed by the authorities.
At the Goya Awards,
Antonio Banderas and María Casado
will act as presenters, scriptwriters and managers of the show and have announced an "elegant and sober" ceremony.
Banderas, who knows the way of
working in Hollywood as well as on Broadway
, sure has prepared surprises to attract the attention of viewers.
Last year he surprised everyone with the final number of the gala accompanying the cast of the musical
A Chorus Line
.
WELCOME HOLLYWOOD
One of the great novelties of this edition will be the participation in the gala of actors and actresses from Hollywood and other cinematographies.
As announced, superstars like
Robert de Niro, Al Pacino, Ricardo Darín, Laura Dern, Monica Bellucci, Salma Hayek, Charlize Theron or Sylvester Stallone will
connect and send greetings telematically.
A great detail that, we suppose, is due to the
good contact list
of an artist as international as
Antonio Banderas
.
LEADING WOMEN
Three of the five feature films nominated for Best Picture (
The Girls
,
Rosa
and
Ane's
Wedding
) tell stories starring women.
And there are two directors (Iciar Bollain and Isabel Coixet) nominated for Best Direction, a category with four applicants to win the award.
The aforementioned
Isabel Coixet and Iciar Bollain
, as the most recognizable faces, but also
Nuria Giménez Lorang or Pilar Palomero
, can live their big night.
As seen in the recent Feroz Awards, something is beginning to change in an industry where
women have not always received the recognition
in the form of awards they deserve.
And it has managed to end (finally) with many stereotypes when it comes to telling
stories with female protagonists
.
REALITY AS A BACKGROUND
In
Adú
, by Salvador Calvo, the drama of illegal immigration is very present.
In
One for all
the hard work they do every day is portrayed teachers.
In
Rosa's Wedding,
a woman without a life of her own claims her independence from others.
And finally,
Girls
and
El inconvenient
focus on girls who open up to life and two mature women who share their loneliness, respectively.
All these
stories of overcoming are treated with sensitivity and respect
and it would not be strange that some of the winners this year appealed to the effort necessary to overcome adversity.
Much more in moments as complicated as this.
OTHER CURIOSITIES
In the section for Best Animated Film there will be only one candidate:
La gallina Turuleca.
And
Mario Casas
aspires to take home an award for which he has never been nominated to the delirium of his thousands of fans.
On the other hand, Isabel Coixet could receive her eighth Goya,
Raúl Romanillos
(Special Effects) her seventh,
Candela Peña
the fourth, as well as
Roque Baños
(in Original Music).
And
Natalia de Molina
her third, as could happen with
Javier Cámara
,
Iciar Bollain, Juanma Bajo Ulloa and Cesc Gay.
Raúl Romanillos
and
Nacho Royo-Villanova
have many possibilities to take home an award, since they are nominated for two films in the same category: Romanillos, for
Black Beach
and
Lamentable Histories
in Special Effects and Royo-Villanova for
El plan
and
Black Beach
in Sound.
Or Roque Baños, who makes a double in Original Music and Song by
Adú
.
And, with respect to one of the great favorites in the pools, if
Kiti Mánver
won her second Goya, she would do so almost 30 years after having achieved the first one for
Todo por la pasta
.
LUIS GARCÍA BERLANGA AND ÁNGELA MOLINA
The
Berlanga Year
, which commemorates the 100th anniversary of the birth of the director of films such as
Welcome, Mister Marshall!
,
Plácido
or
La escopeta nacional
, will have a climactic moment with the performance of
Carlos Latre
.
The comedian will appear characterized by Pepe Isbert and accompanied by the voice of Diana Navarro.
A tribute to
Luis García Berlanga
that has been defined by the versatile artist as "emotional".
In addition, Ángela Molina will receive the Goya de Honor in person.
A DIFFERENT TIME
In a different and complicated year,
the industry has undergone many changes.
Although
Adú
, the favorite film with 13 nominations, was produced by Telecinco Cinema and distributed by Paramount Pictures Spain, this time the independent film distributors will have 18 films that have received 60 nominations in total.
A record that rewards your efforts after the cinemas reopen.
More evident to the public will be the absence of
regular nominees such
as
Antonio De la Torre, Javier Gutiérrez, Penélope Cruz, Luis Tosar, Maribel Verdú or Javier Bardem.
