The award “We want to give it to the public, who not only entertained‘ El Reino ’, but also came out to debate the issues it affects: Who sends us, why do ultra-conservative parties unite with churches to restrict rights, especially women and conflict? ” said Claudia Piñeiro, the writer who acted as screenwriter.

Argentina fans, celebrating

Although Argentina’s talent didn’t get all the recognition this Sunday. The kingdom, Of course, the captain is the best of the statuettes. And there was a celebration.

The gala

This year’s opening has no video. Spanish singer Nia opened the ceremony with Life is a partya tribute to the loving Celia Cruz.

Eventually, a gala began that allowed us to see the happiness and frustration of celebrities without masks. Just a few days ago Spain abolished the obligation to wear “masks” in enclosed spaces and, for example, actress Carmen Maura (who received Honorary Platinum)does not have to be a meter and a half from Bardem itself, as there is no need for social distancing.

Clarion found that in Madrid the pandemic was already a past scene. From habits -such as the return of the Spanish greeting with two kisses-, the naked face masks and the climate of tapas, rations, chelas (That’s what draft beer is called) in the Plaza Mayor or in the Las Letras neighborhood.

There were no restrictions on the pandemic then, and with the advent of more than 100 recognized journalists for Platinumin the capital of Spain these days there is talk only about good cinema and good series.

The humor started with Lali. “You are more Spanish than Cibeles,” Muñoz told her, referring to the mythical square that appears in almost all the films that are recorded in Madrid. The Argentine, wearing a black latex dress, has just finished Rojade of Season 3 of red of the skywhich means 5 months residence in this European capital.

The first prize has an Argentine accent. For the Ibero-American Opera Prima category. it won carnivalby director Carlos Félix, a co-production of our country, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Mexico and Norway.

Best Supporting Performance was the next statuette and combined the male and female categories. Alfredo Castro won, for carnivalher second Platinum and the second around film, and Aitana Sánchez-Gijón for parallel mothers (He defeated his co -stars in the film, Amor and Milena Smit). Then, the duo of Kany García and Rozalén, who presented their new song, re -energized the party atmosphere.

the of Best Screenplay went to Fernando León de Aranoa for The Good Patternwho was also the director of that film. So, it’s throbbing that the favorite will have a great night.

On another level, he is serious, a celebration of this level, in Europe, can not miss the context of the Russian-Ukrainian War. Álvaro Morte, the actor who plays The Professor The Money Heistand Mexican Karla de Souza, asks actors and actresses to look under the chairs.

The ending had “a technical glitch,” Morte said, but the message was perfect: with blue and yellow paper, they built a huge Ukrainian flag.

Parallel Mothers It won an award in the Art Direction category, in the hands of Antxón Gómez.

What if not, Lali -as like “argent” Rosalía- leaves her role as host and get fully in a jumpsuit, also latex but red, to sing her hit, Discipline. “Argentina in the house!”, He shouted at the end.

Both of our countries are wandering around with a nod. It was just before it was over, when they announced Platinum for Best Film for El Buen Patrón, the labor satire that took it all, on May 1st.
