With 16 nominations, Pedro Almodóvar’s The Skin I Live In (La piel que habito) will probably sweep the board on Sunday February 19, when Spain’s Film Academy announces the winners in the 26th annual Goya Awards.
Bringing up second place will likely be Enrique Urbizu’s thriller No Rest for the Wicked, which has 14 nominations, followed by Kike Maillo’s directorial debut Eva with 12.
Sunday night looks set to be a very public kiss and make up between Oscar-winning Almodóvar and the Academy, bringing to an end a frosty few years.
The 16 nominations end a period of chilly relations between Almodóvar and the Spanish academy, which the director quit five years ago over changes to the voting system. He made the first step toward reconciliation at the 2010 awards, although his Broken Embraces had been overlooked for the top prizes. He formally rejoined last year.
“Pedro will be delighted with the news of so many nominations,” Skin producer and Pedro’s brother Agustín Almodóvar told El País newspaper. “The Academy has given us a generous welcome. It’s like a big hug.”
The Skin I Live In will compete with Wicked and Benito Zambrano’s drama The Sleeping Voice, along with Mateo Gil’s Blackthorn for the top honour at the Goya ceremony in Madrid.
The same four films will be battling it out for the top director category as well.
In the lead actor category, Antonio Banderas will be hoping to take the prize for The Skin I Live In, facing off against Daniel Brühl in Eva, Luis Tosar in Sleep Tight, and José Coronado in No Rest for the Wicked.
Salma Hayek is up for best actress for her role in Alex de la Iglesia’s As Luck Would Have It. She will go against Verónica Echegui for Katmandu: A Mirror In the Sky, directed by Icíar Bollaín, and Elena Anaya for Skin and Inma Cuesta for The Sleeping Voice.
