The Feroz Awards “overturn” with Zaragoza this Saturday, January 29, with the celebration of its gala in the Multipurpose Room of the Auditorium, just the day that the city celebrates the day of its patron saint, San Valero. The president of the Association of Cinematographic Reporters of Spain (AICE), María Guerra, recalled that this event will culminate a whole program of activities on cinema and series that has been held in the Aragonese capital, of which she has highlighted its « warm welcome» and his cinephilia so yours«.
In a press conference, María Guerra stressed that the ceremony will be “overturned” with the city and that the entire event, from the red carpet, will be broadcast through the YouTube Channel of the Feroz Awards, starting at 7:30 p.m. hours. The president of the AICE, an association that deals with the organization of these Spanish awards that are inspired by the Golden Globes, has been accompanied in her attention to the media by the Deputy Mayor for Culture and Municipal Councilor for Culture and Foreign Projection, Sara Fernández, and the presenters of the 2022 Feroz Awards, the comedians Nacho Vigalondo and Paula Púa.
As the president of the Association of Cinematographic Reporters of Spain has advanced, the entire red carpet through which the nominated and invited stars will pass will be broadcast in streaming, starting at 7:30 p.m. It will be installed in Plaza Miguel Merino, right next to the Multipurpose Room, so that Zaragozans can greet and meet their favorite actors and actresses.
The gala, María Guerra pointed out, will be “very oriented” towards social networks, for which the Zaragoza ‘influencer’ Luc Loren will be in charge of broadcasting the event on Instagram Live from the ‘photocall’ of the Feroz 2022. Likewise, the gala, which will begin at 10:00 p.m., can also be followed on the YouTube channel.
Humor
The gala will be presented by the film director Nacho Vigalondo and the comedian Paula Púa, with a script by Pilar de Francisco. Both have been “very excited and grateful” for presenting these awards. Also participating in the ceremony will be Inma Cuesta, Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi, Clara Lago, Elena Irureta, Ane Gabarain, Leticia Dolera, Paula Usero, Paco León and Victoria Martín.
The presenters have not wanted to give details of how the gala will be. “They have asked us not to do spoilers,” they have stressed, although they have assured that it will be full of humor »uncomfortable, with many silences«, in line with the television program of which they are part.
“We are used to playing the idiot and we are excited to bring idiocy to the Feroz Awards” because it is “a huge opportunity,” said Paula Púa, who has recognized that it has been a source of pride that they trust her because “I have always seen the awards”.
