A number of hours earlier than the gala of the brand new version of the Goya Awards, as yearly it’s time to fill out the pool of winners. The ceremony takes place this Saturday in Barcelona and shall be introduced by Luis Tosar and Rigoberta Bandini. Strange couple. Now, the whole lot depends upon the script. And, after all, there shall be Barcelona displaying off in the course of the ceremony and in those that current awards. Clarification: in every prize I put who I believe will win, which generally might or might not coincide with my tastes; I’ll reveal these along with Antonio Nieto and Mar Rocabert within the video broadcast – from seven to 9 at evening, three hours that can fly by – of the Goya pink carpet on the EL PAÍS web site.

Movie. Sundaysby Alauda Ruiz de Azúa. He gained on the Forqué (the one ceremony that serves to take a position on the Goya as a result of they share voters), Concha de Oro in San Sebastián, an enormous success with the general public… Sirât Through, this prize appears sure. Although later there might come a from the identical like final yr and, after all, it will get messy.

Address. Last yr Pol Rodríguez and Isaki Lacuesta gained right here, for Second prize. Will there be a division between who wins movie and route? Speaking clearly, will Oliver Laxe win this award? The final time the Academy brazenly confronted this chance, it rejected it. Won The beasts finest movie and Sorogoyen finest route, a giant head that appeared predestined for Carla Simón for Alcarras. We will put Alauda Ruiz de Azúa. By the best way, Simon (Pilgrimage) is right here once more, and Aitor Arregi repeats from final yr (Maspalomas): the Moriarti have no idea relaxation.

Novel route. In summer time, the foundations on this class have been modified. Now you’ll be able to compete with a second movie if the primary one didn’t attain theaters. That makes Eva Libertad enter Deafand subsequently, prime favourite. Surprise? I just like the work of Gerard Oms in Very far.

Trailer for ‘Sundays’

Miguel Garcés (the daddy, standing), Blanca Soroa (the protagonist) and Patricia López Arnaiz (the aunt), in ‘Los Domingos’, by Alauda Ruiz de Azúa.

Leading actress. Piece of quintet, piece of labor. In this pool we’re from workforce Susana Abaitua in A ghost in battlehowever this looks like a transparent Goya, given the wave: Patricia López Arnaiz by Sundays.

Leading actor. Jose Ramon Soroiz, por Maspalomas. Concha de Plata, veteran of a thousand battles (as Eneko Ruiz Jiménez tells right here concerning the variety of Basque actors candidates on this version)… Now, about Mario Casas in Very far It’s fascinating. And that Sergi López is just not right here, he cries out to heaven.

Supporting actress. Nagore Aranburu, por Sundays. Decades of being superb, and now they uncover it in Madrid. He deserves the whole lot.

Secondary actor. Here the Basque streak of the evening may very well be damaged. Because there’s Kandido Uranga, Soroiz’s roommate in Maspalomas. Butoooooo, Álvaro Cervantes will win. Makes an incredible character in Deafis an excellent actor and can be some of the beloved guys in Spanish cinema. His sister won’t win within the main position (I believe that ultimately she’s going to win the Goya), however he’ll win within the supporting position. By the best way, Miguel Rellán returns to the awards 40 years after successful for my dad.

Breakthrough actress. One of the battles of the evening. Blanca Soroa, novice of Sundaysand supported by that successful wave, or Miriam Garlo, new mom, for Deaf? I’m taking part in Garlo.

Breakthrough actor. Here the Academy has me confused. It must be Antonio Toni Fernández Gabarre, for City with out sleep. Although I do not rule out Mitch, for Pilgrimage.

Original screenplay. Sundaysby Alauda Ruiz de Azúa. It’s your day.

Adapted script. Ummmm: Joaquín Oristrell, Manuel Gómez Pereira and Yolanda García Serrano (basic trio if there ever was one), for Dinner? Or Eva Libertad, for Deaf? Let’s say that in one other nice battle of the evening… Eva Libertad will win.

Documentary. Lonely afternoonsby Albert Serra, gained the Golden Shell of San Sebastián 2024, and Serra is the primary documentary director (it is about time) to compete in one of the best route part. And but, he’ll win Flowers for Antonio.

European movie. Until not too long ago, the Academy right here pounced on classicism, learn Conclaveby Edward Berger. For a few years, they’ve been betting on one of the best movie. So the Norwegian Valor sentimentalthe Joachim Trier.

Animated movie. Decoratedby Alberto Vázquez. What a genius, what a masterpiece.

Ibero-American movie. How many teachers have seen all 5? Well, this Goya appears destined for Argentina, for Belénby Dolores Fonzi. Although merciless and enjoyable, nobody beats the Colombian A poet.

Original music. Kangding Ray, por Sirât. He has been near coming into the Oscars, and is key to the plot.

Original music. Another pool-breaker statuette. Beware of And in the meantimeby Víctor Manuel, for the movie Dinner. I think he’ll win although. Flowers for Antonioby Alba Flores and Sílvia Pérez Cruz, for the documentary of the identical identify.

Trailer for ‘Sirât’

Sergi López, on the proper, in ‘Sirât’.

Production administration. There are nice candidates, however… Oriol Maymó, for Sirât.

Photography route. Another class with stratospheric works, as a result of Pau Esteve Birba in The Tigers…But within the extra technical classes I believe that Sirât has the higher hand. And right here, there shall be Goya for Mauro Herce, answerable for his images.

Mounting. Great works, very superb, these of Bernat Vilaplana, for A ghost in battleand Victoria Laemmers, for City with out sleep. However, I believe Cristóbal Fernández wins, as a result of Sirât.

Art route. Another common: Laia Ateca, for Sirât. Big phrases, it already triumphed on the European movie awards.

Costume design. I’m impressed by what Nerea Torrijos has performed in the evening. Come on, we’ll put it on.

Better sound. How may we not select the three Oscar candidates (right here is an interview with them)! Amanda Villavieja, Laia Casanovas and Yasmina Praderas, for Sirât.

Better particular results. Congratulations to Jon Serrano, Mariano García Marty, David Heras and Iñaki Gil, for the evening. Good job. Now, Pep Claret and Benjamín Ageorges will go up for the Goya, for Sirât.

Best make-up and hair. On this event, I sense that that is going to a different film that isn’t Sirât. Another basic trio, Ana López-Puigcerver, Belén López-Puigcerver and Nacho Díaz compete for his or her work in The captive. And they are going to win.

Fiction brief movie. In this version, the quintet is highly effective, highly effective. And in two of them Nacho Sánchez seems, who doesn’t sew and not using a thread. My guess: A Midsummer Night’s Taleby María Herrera (and right here, interview with the director).

Documentary brief movie. Carlo D’Ursi has weight within the Academy, so I’m betting on his brief The saintwhich explores the determine of Don Carlo Fortunato, a rural physician in Senise (Italy), that’s, D’Ursi’s grandfather, because the winner.

Animated brief movie. There are nice video games with varied methods among the many 5 finalists, and on this formal allocation the one who goes the furthest is Rubén’s briefby José María Fernández de Vega.

Well, that is it for the pool. And concerning the Goyas, inform you that, along with what was talked about above, we’ve performed this interview with Goya de Honor Gonzalo Suárez; this assembly between Alauda Ruiz de Azúa and Oliver Laxe, who for this are the 2 massive favorites; We have been with Hernán Zin to speak about Palestine and his documentary We are all Gazaand we entered the workplaces of the manufacturing and distribution firm BTeam, which this yr has achieved 41 nominations, a document.
