Spanish cinema is preparing for its reunion at the Palau de Les Arts in Valencia to celebrate the Goya 2022 awards ceremony. Elsa Fernández-Santos, the film critic for EL PAÍS, explains in three minutes the films and the names they have more chances to win the main statuettes.
In the video that accompanies this news, Fernández-Santos also makes her bets and cites some of the tapes that, in her opinion, were missing from this gala.
The good patron
with 20 nominations, and
Maixabel
with 14, start as favorites for the two most relevant Goyas: film and direction.
A duel that critics believe is very close and could end with a statuette for each.
Where Fernández-Santos has no doubts is in the award for best actor: "The recognition of Javier Bardem seems as sure as the Goya of Honor of José Sacristán."

On the way to the Goya 2022: “The question that I have been asked the most this year has been: 'When will your film be on Netflix?'
The pools for the Goya for best actress point to Blanca Portillo taking home the award: "She is an actress who is not too prolific in the cinema and is greatly admired by her peers, in addition to doing a great job in

," she says Fernandez-Santos.

The specialist believes that Emma Suárez and Penélope Cruz also deserve to get the long-awaited figure this year, but having won in previous editions makes it difficult for them to win the prize.
Fernández-Santos highlights how striking it is that two works that this week have been selected as candidates for the Oscars are not present at this gala: Alberto Iglesias' music in
Parallel Mothers
and Alberto Mielgo's animated short film
The windshield wiper
.
Iglesias is a candidate but for the Maixabel
