Penelope Cruz, Best Film Actress

“His” Pedro Almodóvar has already achieved that Penelope Cruz (Alcobendas, Madrid 1976), the most international and closest of our actresses, has three SILVER PHOTOGRAPHS on her well-stocked awards shelf: for Best Film Actress for Return in 2006: by Broken Embraces in 2009; and this one that is worn today.

“Penelope cannot come and she has sent me a few words that I am going to read to you”said Pedro Almodóvar. “I’m sorry I can’t be there with you tonight. Thanks to the readers and the FOTOGRAMAS team for their support over all these years. I would like to share the award with Aitana, Rossy, Milena, Israel… Pedro, I will never be able to find the words that reflect the infinite gratitude I feel towards you”.

Three other awards that the readers of our magazine have awarded him for his cinematographic work have been for The apple of your eyes, ma ma and Everybody knows. Let’s add four more nominations, the first in 1992 for his double and dazzling participation in Ham Ham and Belle Epoque, and we will have already narrated Pe’s love story (we know that he will forgive us our trust) with PHOTOGRAMS. A new Almodovar, parallel motherscuriously more valued, recognized and awarded outside of Spain than here (Oscar nomination included), once again places the actress as a finalist for one of the best performances of last season.

This award closes the precious and multi-awarded journey that Pedro and Penélope have enjoyed with parallel mothers. But now it’s time to turn the page. And the director is already focused on the pre-production of Manual for cleaning womenhis next film starring Cate Blanchett and in which he will adapt five stories by Lucia Berlin.
