Australian actress Cate Blanchett is the winner of the first international Goya award in history, as reported by the Film Academy in a statement. The interpreter will go to collect the award at the gala on February 12 in Valencia, as confirmed by EL PAÍS. The Spanish Film Academy has created this new recognition for “personalities who contribute to cinema as an art that unites cultures and viewers from all over the world”. And he has decided to give it to Blanchett for being “an extraordinary figure” and “an actress who has played unforgettable characters that are already part of our memory and our present”, as reported in a statement from the institution.
“With two Oscars – for Best Leading Actress for blue jasmineby Woody Allen, and for Best Supporting Actress for The Aviator, by Martin Scorsese–; three Golden Globes; three BAFTAs; and three Screen Actors Guild Awards, the actress is one of the most sought-after talents in the industry and respected and loved by movie lovers around the world”, recalls the same note. And he also underlines that Blanchett will be the producer and protagonist of the film adaptation that Pedro Almodóvar will make of Manual for cleaning women, the best-known book by Lucia Berlin. “I had been wanting to work with Pedro for a long time, enjoy his passion,” the actress recently told EL PAÍS.
“I am passionate about getting involved in fascinating stories that force me to take risks,” he added in the same interview. The performer, who also often works on stage, where she has also directed works, recounted that she does not see herself behind a camera in the short term: “I have always been interested, but you need a lot of patience and time. I have a couple of ideas, and at the same time four children. Too much hassle for now.”
The Spanish cinema gala thus adds a new award to the expected delivery of 28 bobbleheads And, by the way, there is a second prize that is already known before the ceremony: it was also announced some time ago that this year’s Goya of Honor will be awarded to the actor José Sacristán. All the other unknowns remain to be cleared up: the good boss by Fernando León de Aranoa, who achieved the record of 20 nominations, arrives as the favorite on a night where Maixabel, by Icíar Bollaín, has 14 nominations and Madres paralleles, by Pedro Almodóvar, eight.
All the culture that goes with you awaits you here.
