Ser los Ricardos

, by Aaron Sorkin.

Parallel Mothers

A historic milestone as it is the first time that two Spanish actors will compete for this award.

There are four nominations that each one accumulates, but this is the first joint one.

“On a personal level I am very happy, especially for Penelope.

Mine wouldn't have made sense without his.

It would not have been a celebration.

The fact that it happens at the same time seems magical to me”, declared the interpreter at a press conference granted on Tuesday, February 8 at a Madrid hotel, after the nominations for the most important awards in the film industry were announced.

“We have been very happy, we have given each other a strong hug, it is something extraordinary to be sharing this, very freaked out, very happy, moved,” he added.

For her part, Penélope Cruz declared in her meeting with the press in El Deseo,

the Madrid headquarters of Almodóvar's production company: “The other times I have experienced it with incredible emotion and surprise.

Today was the strongest for me.

I think it's for being nominated together with Javier”.

This is not the first time that they have dedicated a few words to each other publicly.

Since they began their relationship in 2007, there have been several declarations of love that have been dedicated to the spotlight in their speeches of gratitude.

The first was in 2010 at the Cannes Film Festival.

At that time, their relationship was already rumored.

They had not yet officially confirmed it, but they had been seen together on numerous occasions.

It was when he received the award for best actor at the French competition for the film

Biutiful

, by Alejandro González Iñárritu,

when he declared his love for Cruz publicly: “I share this joy with my friend, my partner and my love.

Penelope, I owe you many things and I love you very much, "she said on stage, while she received the award.

That same year they got married.

Thank you, I love you, ”he said to the applause of those present.

At that time, she was about to give birth to the first of their two children together.

These statements were just the beginning.

The talent of both has led them to win numerous awards that, on several occasions, have been accompanied by declarations of love in their speeches of thanks.

Despite this, the couple has defended their privacy since the beginning of their relationship.

In September 2019, the actress received the Donostia Award for her career at the San Sebastian Film Festival.

On the stage of the Kursaal Conference Center and Auditorium in the Basque city, wearing an impeccable white dress, she sang an emotional speech of thanks, in which she remembered the women victims of gender-based violence and also dedicated a few words to her family: “To my two beautiful children and my husband Javier, the most wonderful travel companion you can have;

and yes, he was also included in my dreams and he is here with me, ”she said, to which the actor, in one of the back rows of the auditorium, stood up and blew her an enthusiastic kiss.

Two years later, in September 2021, Cruz won the Volpi Cup for best actress at the Venice festival for

Parallel Mothers

, the first Spanish to achieve the recognition of the Mostra, another milestone achieved.

"It is an honor.

Here we are, celebrating cinema.

Thanks Pedro, this is 100% yours.

Your impeccable work, your dedication are so hard to find these days.

I adore you”, Cruz started on stage, with the award in his hands.

Although Bardem did not pose with her on her red carpet, he did accompany her to the gala.

And she, this time, dedicated the award to the mother of her husband, also an actress Pilar Bardem, who had died in July.

“To my mother-in-law, Pilar Bardem, who left us two months ago.

She did so much for the actors of our country, and her love and passion for this wonderful profession was enormous.

At the end of our last conversation she told me 'I love you', it was going to be her last words to me.

But then I heard something else,

The same role that led Penélope Cruz to win the Volpi Cup and to be nominated for the next edition of the Oscars, also brought her to the last edition of the Goya, held on February 12.

And although the actress finally failed to win her fourth award in these awards for

Parallel Mothers

, Bardem did for

The Good Boss

, by Fernando León Aranoa.

With this award, the actor added his sixth statuette in the recognitions of Spanish cinema, which places him as the most awarded male actor in this ceremony, and he also wanted to dedicate it, in addition to his mother and children, to his wife: “ She is the woman I love, respect, admire and celebrate every day.

I love you very much”, he said on stage at the Palau de les Arts Reina Sofía in Valencia.

He continued dedicating a few words to the two children they have in common: "Leonardo and Luna, who are the greatest gift, the most beautiful thing that has happened in our lives."

With all eyes on the couple, both will compete for their second statuette at the next edition of the Oscars.

Cruz received her first nomination in 2007 for

Volver

, also by Almodóvar, the first Spanish actress to achieve it.

And although she ultimately failed to win the award, she did two years later, in 2009, for

Woody Allen's

Vicky Cristina Barcelona .

He won his first statuette in 2008 for

No Country for Old Men

, by the Cohen brothers.

Both marked a before and after in the history of Spanish cinema, being the first actors on the national scene to achieve it in an acting category.
