Spanish Academy GOYA AWARDS, 2012

José Coronado and Enrique Urbizu

Yesterday, February 19 was held the Goya Awards of the Spanish Film Academy. The big winner of the night turned out to be Enrique Urbizu with his film "No Rest for the Wicked" with a total of six awards including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay awards and Best Actor Award for Jose Coronado.

Isabel Coixet's documentary on the Spanish Judge Baltasar Garzon "Listening to Judge Garzon" won the Goya for best documentary. The Catalan director used her presence at the gala to claim the innocence of Baltasar Garzón against the three legal imputations the judge is facing in Spain. Interestingly today, February 20th, Garzon has been formally removed from his judicial career by The Standing Committee of the Supreme Judicial Council of Spain because of the authorization given by the judge to some listenings of  prisoners suspected in the Spanish Gurtel- corruption case.

According to Coixet's words, "The Supreme Court may set aside Garzon of justice, but  nothing and nobody can separate justice from Judge Garzon," the filmmaker makes clear her opinion on the innocence of the judge and highlights the good intention of Garzon by adding "I wish that there had been no peace for the wicked," alluding to the great film by Urbizu with whom she shared yesterday's Goya Awards victory.

To highlight other winners, Elena Anaya was the winner of the Goya for Best Actress, while Lluis Homar and Ana Wagener received the Goyas of the supporting actors. Below a video of the Santiago Segura's monologue that gave the funny spark to the gala, and the complete list of winners. Congratulations to Enrique Urbizu, Isabel Coixet and all the winners!
