31st Goya Award Winners

According to award official site news, last night awards ceremony lasted for 3 hours (10 minutes less than last year) and was seen locally by 3.6 million viewers which is lower than last year. No, this year did not watch the ceremony as was not in the mood to stand a long ceremony where films that I didn't enjoy were going to be honored with awards and a high-deserved film was going to be ignored.  Unfortunately I was right, so I'm glad that I didn't wasted 3 hours of my life, sigh.

As expected Julieta by Pedro Almodovar was excluded from top awards confirming once again that local industry does not like their most famous master filmmaker.  Top honor goes to a first-feature director who happens to be an actor I do not enjoy, Tarde para la Ira (The Fury of a Patient Man) by Raúl Arévalo and Best Director goes to J. A. Bayona for his English-spoken non-Spaniard cast film A Monster Calls. Alright Best Actress went to Emma Suárez for her performance in Julieta, which is the only Goya award Julieta got.

As  a matter of fact Emma went to win the Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress award which is a great accomplishment for the actress but also speaks about the lack of  remarkable performances by Spanish actresses in Spanish-spoken film in Spain-made films.

To sort of confirm what I mention in the above paragraph, the big winner of the night is none other than the English-spoken with non-Spaniard cast, A Monster Calls that collected nine (9) awards.

Worth mentioning, this edition gave the Goya de Honor (Honorary Goya) to Ana Belén.

Here are the winners in some categories.

70th Festival de Cannes Award Winners

Suddenly, Cannes is over. Once Again. Feel kind of sad.  Very glad there are great movies in this year edition that hope to see sooner than later. Regret that jury didn't wanted to make history, didn't wanted to be remembered forever, didn't wanted to give for the very first time EVER the Palme d'Or to a two-time-winner director and make him the ONLY three-time winner. Sigh. Instead they opted for a Swedish film in English by a great Swedish director debut in not-his-mother-tongue film.  The good news is that film could be good as not many directors have succeed when they do films in other languages; so, good for him (!) and also, for us -the audience. Still, these days have been fun and now will have to adjust to calm, which is not what Ruben Östlund is having today and will have for a while -just check photo.  Then there is a record for Coppola as she's the first woman to ever win a screenwriting Oscar and the second woman to win in Cannes directing prize. But u...

2017 MUAHS Annual Awards Winners

Last night was a busy night in Hollywood as there were three awards ceremony to attend; but, perhaps one of the most colorful has to be from the Make-up and Hair guild that gave awards to some unexpected winners while snubbing my favorites (lol). Most interesting is the Make Up top award winner as went to a film with no Oscar nomination and great make-up in one of the "movies"; see, I believe there were 2 "movies" in Nocturnal Animals , one very unpleasant to watch and another very pleasant with absolutely great esthetics -the later has fantastic make-up. On the other hand, Best Period and/or Character Make-up went to a film with an Oscar nomination, Suicide Squad , a film with obvious fantastic make-up but this win could mean an Oscar win?  Don't know as guild has not many members that vote in the Academy, at least when we compare it against the largest actor, director or writers guild.  Then perhaps another MUAHS award winner, Star Trek Beyond , could have bet...

Today, October 11th the Academy published the list of films in competition for the 2017 Foreign Language film Oscar which honors films released in their respective countries during the 2016 period. There are quite a few changes. For starters there are 85 and not 86 submissions, then Afghanistan, Armenia and Tunisia are out; last, have to add Cambodia and Yemen.  Japan's entry seems to be the same but has a different name in English: Nagasaki: Memories of My Son by Yoji Yamada and Malaysia's English name is different to Redha. Most important is to highlight that this edition will be the 60th Anniversary of the Foreign Language Film Category as was introduced in 1956 for the 29th Academy Awards. To celebrate the anniversary the Academy created a site with all the category winners which is here and the most amazing collection with 60 videos with the acceptance speeches from the winners which is here .
