Goya Awards 2009


One more year Spanish Academy of Arts and Cinematographic Sciences gave tonight their “Goyas” to the best professionals of several specialities. The gala was presented by Carmen Machi and broadcasted near live, with a delay of 30 minutes, like they did previous years.
The most nominated film in this XXIII Goya Awards was “Los girasoles ciegos” with 15 nominations, some of them were: best picture, best director, best adapted screenplay, best actor and actress, best costume design... however it turned out to be the big loser, because they only got best adapted screenplay one. On the other hand, the big winning was “Camino” as I hoped it was. This movie took home the awards of best film, best director, best original screenplay, best supporting actor, best actress and best newcomer actress, as you can see these prizes are the most important.
I would like to mention the two awards won by “el Langui”, for best original song and best newcomer actor. It was exciting when he claimed how difficult it was for people like him to access to the stage, how difficult it was go up all these stairs in order to receive his awards. As he said, this kind of things do not make them independent people.
Next meeting, maybe the Oscars Awards.
