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.

#Oscars2018 Makeup and Hairstyling Shortlist

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced yesterday that seven (7) films remain in competition in the Makeup and Hairstyling category for the 90th Academy Awards. On Saturday, January 6, 2018, all members of the Academy’s Makeup Artists and Hairstylists Branch will be invited to view 10-minute excerpts from each of the seven shortlisted films. Following the screenings, members will vote to nominate three films for final Oscar consideration. Seems that this year there were not many films that qualified for this category and as far as what is happening up-to-today, this category is the first that will not have five nominations. But what puzzles me most is the reason why behind NOT including films like The Shape of Water, Blade Runner 2049 or even Star Wars: The Last Jedi.  Perhaps is because now lines between VFX and makeup blur, especially for us viewers and for those who are trying to guess something in current awards season. The films are listed below in alphabeti...

43rd Annual Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards Winners

The so-called " most powerful " group of American critics voted their 2017 awards and top award went to Luca Guadagnino's Call Me by Your Name which is a surprise in the sense that film in America was the object of negative reviews, especially those related to film story being about " gay statutory rape " (sic). Sigh. Then, under group standards believe voting was "fast" as only took five-and-a-half hours and I recall voting for longer than six hours, lol.  Still was too-long for me to follow live. Most interesting were the awards given to female actors as it's great to see outstanding Sally Hawkins being honored as she has had many-many great performances along her career and Laurie Metcalf being recognized for her work in the big screen. No doubt that group liked Guadagnino's film but thanks to them Guillermo del Toro's latest film has been put in the awards race.  Notorious is how once again the west coast film critics honors differ from...

90th Academy Awards Foreign Language Films Submissions

10/6/17 Update - AMPAS surprised many of us with what we can call an early release of the submitted and accepted films to the foreign language film category as usually takes them 10 days or more to announce the complete list. But more interesting is the amount of countries that had films accepted, a new record (!) with 92 submitting films this year, which are seven (7) more countries/films than last year's 85. There are too many great films in list and too-many films, period. Hopefully new "simplified" process will allow more films to be seen by more people, but believe is just a hope as know that films with strong promotion will have better chances than those without it. Already have received several invitations to private screenings in LA and yes are for films from the great filmmakers as this year list has several master filmmakers like Haneke, Akin, Ostlund, Martel, Roskam, Holland, Lelio, Bartas, Trier, and Zvyagintsev plus perhaps lesser known but already collec...
