The great winner of the night at the Goyas has appeared before the press gathered at the Palace of Congresses and Exhibitions of Seville, assuring that the nine statuettes for As bestas -among them best film, direction, script and main actor, Denis Ménochet, and supporting actor , Luis Zahera- "they have exceeded all expectations, obviously, we are overwhelmed". And they have displayed an unusual frankness: "The Goya for best director surprised me, I didn't expect it."
In fact, he added, “I thought Carla Simón was going to win, it seems unfair that Alcarràs won't win any Goya, proof that the prizes are unfair. Let's not give so much importance to the awards, Alcarràs is a great movie and let's not think about it anymore”.
In addition, Sorogoyen, who already swept the Goyas with 'El reino', has admitted, "I thought that for the best actor, I thought Nacho Sánchez was going to win." The winner of this award for As bestas, the Frenchman Denis Ménochet, has admitted that "I didn't expect anything, nothing, I thought Nacho was going to win." Asked if he was going to stay in Spain performing, Ménochet joked that "yes, I'm going to live with Rodrigo." “What I do is help tell stories, and with stories there is no language, there is no language. But Spain is so great that I am going to stay for the Spanish men and women, but not for the cinema, ”he laughed.
Isabel Peña, co-writer with Sorogoyen, has said that the victory has been "a dream". And that after a decade of teamwork, she believes that "we have been extremely lucky to find each other along the way, we have known how to take advantage of those lucky moments and we have worked a lot and very together".
