The Spanish director Pedro Almodóvar and actress Penélope Cruz will not be able to attend the next edition of the Goya Awards, which will take place on February 8 at the Palace of Exhibitions and Congresses in Granada. Almodóvar, with his film 'The Neighbor's Room' nominated in ten categories, including Best Direction and Best Adapted Screenplay, is absent due to a domestic accident.
In addition to Almodóvar, other notable absences at the gala will include actresses Julianne Moore and Tilda Swinton, both nominated for Best Leading Actress for their work in 'The Neighbor's Room.' However, the ceremony will feature the presence of prominent figures and numerous interesting nominations.
Among the nominees are productions such as 'House on Fire,' 'The 47,' 'The Blue Star,' 'The Infiltrator,' 'Second Prize,' and notable figures such as Alberto San Juan, Eduard Fernández, Emma Vilarasau, Macarena García, Arantxa Echevarría, Maria Rodríguez Soto, among others.
Almodóvar's absence has generated various reactions, considering the large number of nominations for his film 'The Neighbor's Room.' The gala will also see notable absences from Julianne Moore and Tilda Swinton, nominated for Best Leading Actress.
The list of nominees includes categories such as Best Film, Best Director, Best Actor and Actress in a Leading Role, Actor and Actress in a Supporting Role, Best Original and Adapted Screenplay, Best Original Music, Cinematography, among others. The absence of some recognized figures is attributed to various reasons, such as a domestic accident in the case of Pedro Almodóvar and scheduling problems in other cases.
