3/28/2200:44As happened in 2019 with ‘Green Book’, the Oscars would reward inoffensive and good vibes indie cinema. ‘CODA’ isn’t even nominated for best direction.3/28/2200:43This remake of a 2015 French comedy, ‘La familia Bélier’, which attracted 24,000 viewers when it was released in Spanish theaters last February, follows a teenager who helps her hearing-impaired parents and who suddenly finds herself become a song promise. 3/28/2200:43Interestingly, in recent weeks, the name ‘CODA. The sounds of silence’ has been playing more and more to win the award for best film.3/28/2200:40The four will compete with ‘CODA’, ‘Don’t Look Up’, ‘Drive My Car’, ‘The Williams Way’, ‘Licorice Pizza’ and ‘The Alley of Lost Souls’ in the bulging best picture category.
3/28/2200:40It is followed by ‘Dune’, by Denis Villeneuve, which has brought together ten nominations. Steven Spielberg’s ‘West Side Story’ and Kenneth Branagh’s ‘Belfast’ are up for seven statuettes each.
3/28/2200:40If it wins the Oscar for best picture, something it has been aiming for for years, it will have broken down a barrier between academics.3/28/2200:36Part as a favorite ‘The power of the dog’, by Jane Campion. The film produced by Netflix, an atypical western and an essay about psychological abuse, is the one that starts with the most nominations, with a total of twelve nominations.3/28/2200:35Let’s now go to the count of the most nominated films. The cold numbers. 3/28/2200:33By the way, an anecdote: you would have to go back to 1969 to find the last marriage nominated in acting categories in the same edition of the Oscars: none other than Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton for ‘Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?’.

3/28/2200:30And the other three rivals aren’t easy to beat either: Olivia Colman, a woman on vacation in Greece who rethinks her motherhood in ‘The Dark Daughter’; Nicole Kidman, in the shoes of Lucille Ball in ‘Being the Ricardos’; and Kristen Stewart, Lady Di in ‘Spencer’.3/28/2200:30
It is true that Jessica Chastain seems to be a favorite for her role as a televangelist in ‘The Eyes of Tammy Faye’.3/28/2200:29Penélope Cruz seems to have more ballots, nominated for best actress for ‘Parallel Mothers’. Cruz gets into the shoes of a photographer who becomes pregnant as she struggles to exhume the remains of her ancestors. It would be a historical event if she won because it is a role in Spanish.3/28/2200:27And if he doesn’t win, there’s the British Benedict Cumberbatch, the cowboy tortured for his sexuality in ‘The Power of the Dog’. Less likely would be Andrew Garfield for ‘Tick, Tick… Boom!’ or Denzel Washington, for ‘The tragedy of Macbeth’.3/28/2200:27However, the great favorite of the night is Will Smith, who plays the father and coach of Venus and Serena Williams in ‘The Williams Method’.
3/28/2200:26On this occasion, Bardem is nominated for best actor for ‘Being the Ricardos’. In the Amazon tape he plays Desi Arnaz, husband of Lucille Ball (Nicole Kidman).
3/28/2200:25Javier Bardem got it with ‘It’s not a country for old men’, in 2008, as best supporting actor. Penélope Cruz won it a year later, as best supporting actress, for ‘Vicky Cristina Barcelona’.3/28/2200:25Both have been nominated for an Oscar four times and have won the coveted statuette once.3/28/2200:24The other two Spanish Oscar nominees already know them very well. They are Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz.3/28/2200:23For Mielgo it is the first time. On the other hand, in the case of Iglesias, there are already four times that he has opted for the statuette, although he has never won the long-awaited trophy.3/28/2200:23They are Alberto Mielgo, who competes in the category of best animated short film with ‘El wiper’, and Alberto Iglesias, who competes in the category of best soundtrack with his work on ‘Madres paralleles’.
3/28/2200:22It’s already a bad leg because of the four Spaniards who are nominated, two are for best animated short film and best soundtrack.
