Discover the favorites from the Goya Awards 2024 in its most challenging edition yet.

Goya Awards 2024 They’re right around the corner. The 38th Spanish Film Awards will take place in Valladolid on Saturday 10 February. In the Castilian-Leonese capital, contenders for one of the long-awaited big goals will compete in one of the greatest years of uncertainty in memory. Because although some of Goya’s categories seem resolved, others are completely up in the air. And especially the main prizes.

20,000 species of bees And Snow Society They come to Goya as two strongest rivals. The first of them, debut Estibalis Urresola, a total of 15 nominations. Blockbuster Juan Antonio Bayona, for its part, has 13 nominations, in addition to being chosen by the Academy to represent Spain at the Oscars. The key may be in the technical awards, where a Netflix film has a chance to win. This resistance effect may mean that the film is superior to its main competitor.

But there are other tapes, such as close your eyes And They know it, both with 11 nominations, which could net some very important awards. The Academy will want to take advantage of the opportunity to somehow reward Victor Erice for “Close Your Eyes.” The return of one of their great teachers to the industry should not go unnoticed by them.

And in many categories, these Goyas are very open. Especially in interpretations where there seems to be only one clear winner Malena Alterio for Best Actress. In fact, anyone could have won in both casting categories. This is a list of the 2024 Goya Award nominees, with the favorites in each category and their alternatives.
