The historic night of Spanish cinema remains in the middle of the road and only Alberto Milgo receives an Oscar

The historic night of Spanish cinema ended on half gas. Our industry came up with four nominees for the Oscars, but only one was able to win the statue. It was Alberto Mielgo who excelled in his brilliance Windshield wiper Who has achieved victory, who knows poetic justice for all the Spanish short filmmakers who have been nominated for years and who have never achieved victory. Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, Nacho Vigilando, Borja Kobeaga, Javier Fesser, Javier Recio, Esteban Crespo and Rodrigo Sorogoyen could not erect the statue, but Mielgo did so by defeating his all-powerful rival Netflix. Robin Robin.

The cowardice of the academy, which presented eight awards at a ceremony in front of the television, meant that the Milgo award was not seen live and everyone learned about it on Twitter. An anti-climactic victory that has ruined the historic moment of our cinema. While collecting the award, Milgo stressed that there were four works for adults, which was important for the technique, for the animation, which is usually limited to the products of the whole family. “Animation is a fact for adults, it happens, let’s call it cinema,” says Mielgo. “This is just the beginning of what we can do in animation,” he added.

The illusions of days in Penelope Cruz were completely dispelled when Anthony Hopkins opened the envelope and announced the name of Jessica Chastain. Actor dTammy Faye’s eyes He left Penelope without a second prize. It is unfortunate because her work was the best among the five nominees and because she would make her name in the history of cinema alongside Sophia Loren, the only woman to win an award for Best Leading Actress for her unspoken performance in English.

It would also be a recognition of Pedro Almodოვvar for all his work that he has done Parallel mothers He wrote one of the most requested roles for you. The Academy still awards A. Biographical Performed by her star and for the show – under layers of makeup and latex – instead of more complex and less acceptable performances. Of course, they continue to place bets in English and on papers made within their boundaries.

Penelope Cruz looked the simplest. For several weeks, the mainstream media published the anonymous voices of several academics. The name of the Spaniard came out in the vast majority of them. Even publications like Variety changed their predictions at the last minute to place a bet on it. I hope there will be more opportunities.

There was nothing wrong with Javier Bardem, who always made it clear in front of him and chose his partner’s prize. His role Being in Ricardo This is not one of his best performances and this award was written in the name of Will Smith during the months. Smith won the award and he did so after the ceremony broke down and possibly after a career sink. Actor Williams method Chris Rock joked about his wife and struck her live in front of the entire industry and millions of viewers.

The statue could not even be won by the fourth Spanish nominee, Alberto Iglesias. It was difficult for Pedro Almodდოvar despite the brilliance of his work Parallel mothers. His award was another of those affected by the academy’s decision to receive eight awards directly beyond the previous ceremony. A decision that, moreover, did not hasten the gala and only served to establish the first and second prizes. His Oscar went to another master, Hans Zimmer, who won it for the soundtrack Dunes And that, although he was the composer of some of the most important musical scores in cinema, he had only one sculpture, which he won in 1995 over the scores of other classics, Lion king.

While the final loot looks disappointing, having only four Spanish nominees is a historic milestone for very few cinematographers. This was achieved in the year in which, moreover, Spanish cinema also won the Berlinale, where Carla Simon won the Golden Bear for Alcaraz, And in which, it seems, the Spaniard will be in all international competitions.
