It was not the great patron of the Goya 2022, but it was a good patron. Since the day of the nominations, Fernando León had been warning that coming out with 20 nominations, in 17 categories, awarded him a role of favorite that he did not like. “Movies cannot be measured as if they were marks in the Olympic Games”, he said, so surely the result will have left him calm. the good boss, his labor satire won six awards. For Fernando León it was his third Goya as director —tiing with Pedro Almodóvar, whose parallel mothers they left empty-and the seventh in total (between documentaries and scripts). A film that revolves around winning a business award took the best film awards. A satire about the scales found its balance in a distributed list of winners.
The other happy man, since he stepped on the red carpet with his friends and his wife, was Javier Bardem, who received the award for best actor. From the stage he told his friend Fernando León: “Thank you for writing a character so rich in nuances, in complexities, so funny. The trips we take together are always inspiring and fun, I love you so much.”
He also had a memory for his wife, Penélope Cruz: “The woman I love, respect, admire and celebrate every day. Love you very much”. Both are candidates for an Oscar, along with the musician Alberto Iglesias and the animator Alberto Mielgo, an event that was celebrated at various times during the three and a quarter hours of the long ceremony, in which the good boss It won best film, direction, original screenplay, editing, music and leading actor.
Icíar Bollaín was also happy with his three awards. From his maixabel Her work as director of interpreters came out revalued: Blanca Portillo, as leading actress; María Cerezuela, as a revelation actress, and Urko Olazabal, as secondary. It has been a film made with as much love as difficulties, which tighten the seams of Spanish cinema productions. In exchange, he has taken the figure of Maixabel Lasa, the widow of Juan María Jáuregui, very far. “She has made this world a better place,” said Portillo, with the award in her hand, during her thanks.

They presented themselves as the most failing Goyas, and it ended up being a gala without rhythm, or hooliganism or firecracker. What revalues even more the effort of last year by Antonio Banderas in the edition of the zoom from Malaga, which in 2021 faced social distance with hundreds of video calls. And that he understood that there are awards, but that there is a television program. There was also no great memory of Luis García Berlanga, and that the Goyas traveled to Valencia in his honor. And the necessary, imperative support for Afghan filmmakers came too late, after three hours of the gala. In a video, Berlanga defined himself as contradictory. In that the ceremony followed him to the letter.
The musical numbers contributed little. Rosalía and James Rhodes raised the level three years ago, complicating the performances of the following editions. After a massive musical start, one of those that the Spanish Film Academy has never been able to turn into a show goyilthe duet of C. Tangana and Rita Payés was cold: more exciting was hearing Joaquín Sabina sing again So young and so old and Luz Casal accompanied the portraits of the deceased with black shadow hard. It went from less to more, although without surprising.
Yes, there were surprises, such as the five Goya awards for The laws of the border, by Daniel Monzón, including the adapted script, which is based on the novel by Javier Cercas that recreates the Girona more quinqui of the Transition. In addition, he added that of Chechu Salgado for revelation actor, makeup and hairdressing, artistic direction and costume design.
Mediterranean, from Marcel Barrena, who seemed like another stone guest at the invitation, he obtained another three: song, production direction and photography direction, this one for Kiko de la Rica. This category had not been a repeat winner for 17 years, a truly surprising fact, until De la Rica, who won it in 2013 by Snow White, He’s back for one.
For Liberty, Clara Roquet won the awards for Best Supporting Actress (Nora Navas) and Best New Director. In the last five years, five filmmakers have won, and among them they have passed an amulet that prolongs their streak of luck, obviously based on talent. Roquet recalled that she has been able to make a film about the clash of social classes because she came from a wealthy family. “Hopefully the cinema of the future will have a more open point of view.” A necessary emphasis, now that the audiovisual and cinema laws are being refined in their parliamentary procedure.
Jonás Trueba had to go up to collect the Goya for best documentary for his who prevents it, just after the In Memoriam. I only had a nomination for a feature film that deserved much more. With it in hand, she spoke of the next generations, of the adolescents she has portrayed, leaving them to move the mirror, to decide to a large extent what image they gave of themselves.
At the end of this ceremony will remain the memory of the two Honor Awards. The International Goya, for Cate Blanchett, who confessed that she only knew how to say “thank you, thank you” in Spanish, and that she remembered that in high school she saw Luis Buñuel movies. “That changed how I saw the world. Since then I have been attracted by the visual language of Spanish cinema”. But little else. She will now work with Almodóvar, who gave her the award together with Penélope Cruz, in Manual for cleaning women. “It is said that when you work with your hands you are a craftsman, but the brain is also part of that craft. And if you combine brain and hands and heart you are an artist. And Peter is.” More exciting was the Honor for José Sacristán, the actor who is, as the president of the Academy, Mariano Barroso, said, the face of Spanish cinema. He has traversed genres, generations, movements, decades, styles, and he has gone through all of them with class and talent. And may he last among what he himself defined as “this noble and hard-working troop”.
