EL PAÍS asks a screenwriter, a producer and an actor, candidates or winners of the trophy in past editions, about their choices in the awards and the reasons for their decisions


Goya award statuettes.

How do voters think of the Goya?

Who do they vote for and why?

EL PAÍS has asked three academics, two men and one woman, about their choices.

They are a screenwriter, a producer and an actor who anonymously agreed to explain their decisions in the main categories at the Spanish film awards, whose 35th edition will be held next Saturday, March 6.

No one is competing this year, there are three well-known members of the Spanish film industry, two have won the Goya and the third has been a candidate.

Here are their votes and their reasons:

  • Parity at the Goya Awards, between mirage and reality

  • Honest confessions of three Goya 2020 voters

BEST FILM

The screenwriter:

“I haven't seen all of them, but I'm sure that in a democracy nobody goes to all the rallies.

It is better to have hunger, entrails, and mine are with

the girls,

that I have enjoyed it a lot.

It has the makings to be the best of the year ”.

The producer:

“The harvest has been very rare, irregular.

And among the nominees, I am missing

Lamentable Stories,

by Fesser, for me the best of the year and that will probably pay for its premiere on platforms.

Of the candidates, I prefer

Rosa's wedding: it

is the most complete ”.

The actor:

“Because of the cinema that interests me, I feel closer to

Girls.

It has truth and honesty, but it is somewhat stretched out. "

BEST DIRECTION

The scriptwriter:

“Juanma Bajo Ulloa [by

Baby

].

Here you have to vote a position before the cinema, and Juanma is a Martian to take care of.

Not knowing what someone wants has merit sometimes in the cinema.

I would have liked Javier Fesser and his

unfortunate stories

to have entered

”.

The producer:

“I insist: I miss Fesser.

In the end, I voted for Icíar Bollaín [

Rosa's wedding

] ”.

The actor:

“I feel that these four filmmakers have not done the acting direction well.

It's hard for me to choose ”.

BEST NOVEL DIRECTION

The screenwriter:

“Pilar Palomero [director of

The Girls

], because she has done a wonderful job.

I am looking forward to seeing your second movie.

This is the category with the least emotion ”.

The producer:

“With many doubts, to David Pérez Sañudo, from

Ane.

In that film, the actors stand out.

The average quality of the Spanish interpretation is good, and that of Patricia López Arnáiz, its protagonist, is.

But its improvement between previous works and this one is so overwhelming that Pérez Sañudo will have something to do with it ”.

The actor:

“Come on, on the street.

Pilar Palomero ”.

BEST SCRIPT (ADDED BOTH CANDIDATURES)

The scriptwriter

"The girls".

The producer:

"I really like Regrettable

Stories, I

already said that, right?"

The actor:

“I have many doubts ... I don't like

unfortunate stories at

all

.

None of these eight scripts drives me crazy. "

BEST LEADING ACTOR

The scriptwriter:

“Javier Cámara [stars in

Sentimental

] I would award even a Zoom with his dermatologist.

Now, Mario Casas winning [for

You will not kill

] would be cool.

Because he is a star in the classic Hollywood sense, and that he is handsome should not detract ”.

The producer:

“I have let myself go.

I don't think they are the best works of the four ... I voted for Ernesto Alterio [protagonist of

A normal world] ”.

The actor:

“In this country there are actresses who speak low to appear sensual and actors who speak low to be falsely natural.

Anyway, Alterio takes risks because he's crazy, so I voted for him.

I also like how Mario Casas looks for uncomfortable projects, takes risks and I suspect that he will win ”.

BEST LEADING ACTRESS

The screenwriter:

“I love the existence of Candela Peña [

Rosa's wedding

], because she is an actress who never says what you expect before the press.

It is a very strange force of nature.

I never notice the composition or the technique ”.

The producer:

"Patricia López Arnáiz".

The actor:

"Candela [Peña] will take it, don't hesitate."

BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR

The scriptwriter:

“Juan Diego Botto [

The Europeans

] is spectacular.

He has done less comedy than he should, and it comes out. "

The producer:

“Alberto San Juan, for

Sentimental.

Definitely".

The actor:

"Alberto San Juan, without a doubt."

BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS

The screenwriter:

“Verónica Echegui [participates in the musical

Explodes Explodes

], because when someone is a candidate for a film that does not have many more nominations, they have done remarkably well, and they do it in a vehicle not created to win the Goyas.

Now, I am very naive, because it is not usually awarded ”.

The producer:

"Natalia de Molina, although

Girls

bores me a bit."

The actor:

“You have no idea how good Echegui is.

He has a great talent ... He has deserved many awards in his career that he has not received.

Sometimes they haven't even nominated her.

Let's repair injustice

.

"

OTHER CANDIDATURES

The scriptwriter:

“Look, we normally see Ibero-American films as if they were guests.

And this year large ships have joined ... The same thing is that the best films of the year are and the one that wins is as good or better than the one that wins the main prize of the Spanish ones ”.

The producer:

“I loved

The Year of Discovery,

and it's an awesome season in that format.

The crop of documentaries is exceptional, although it is true that it has been a constant in recent seasons ”.

The actor:

"Bad year, huh?"
