"Puan" could not win a Goya award, the "Spanish Oscars" where other Argentines did win. The Argentine film by María Alché and Benjamín Naishat competed in the category of best Ibero-American film.

The successful film The Snow Society swept the awards and surpassed its main rival, 20,000 Species of Bees. The gala was attended by the great American actress Sigourney Weaver, who traveled especially to accept an honorary Goya in person.
