LAST night’s Goya Awards – Spain’s answer to the Oscars – saw the most-watched Spanish film of the year walk away with three trophies.
Best Lead Actor went to Karra Elejalde, Best Supporting Actor to Dani Rovira – also the ceremony’s presenter - and Best Lead Actress to Carmen Machi (pictured) for their roles in Ocho apellidos vascos, or ‘Eight Basque surnames’, a black comedy set in a remote northern village and milking national stereotypes.
Best Foreign Language Film – for productions not in Spanish or any of Spain’s regional tongues – went to the Polish epic Ida, the brainchild of director Pawel Pawlikowski.
La Isla Mínima (‘the minimum island’) netted trophies for Best Costume, Best Supporting Actress for Nerea Barros, Best Set Design, Best Artistic Direction, Best Photography, Best Soundtrack for composer Julio de la Rosa, and Best Original Script.
Best Documentary went to Paco de Lucía: La Búsqueda (‘In search of Paco de Lucía’, the late Spanish flamenco guitarist) and Best Latin American Film to Relatos Salvajes (‘Wild tales’), whilst El Niño won awards for Best Production, Best Song for the theme tune Niño sin miedo (‘boy without fear’), Best Special Effects, and Best Sound Effects.
