The Baftas, as in any other gala in the world of cinema, usually dedicate a few minutes to all those influential people in the industry who have died that year.
Thus, in the video that the British Academy prepared for such an emotional moment, familiar faces such as Ray Liotta, Jean-Luc Godard and Gina Lollobrigida appeared. However, there were many who missed a mention Carlos Saura.
Passed away on February 10, the Spanish filmmaker, who among many other works directed Cría Cuervos, Ay, Carmela and La Caza, won a Bafta in 1985 for Carmen. And it is precisely this fact that has made more than one wonder the reason for this oversight.
Some attribute it to the lack of time, since only a few days ago the world of cinema said goodbye to him. However, this does not serve as an excuse for some awards that did add Raquel Welch, who died on February 15, five days later.
Saura, in addition to the Bafta received in 1985, was nominated three times for the Oscars, his films won four palms d'or, three Golden Bears from Berlin.
