MADRID, 2 Feb. (EUROPA PRESS) –
61 percent of the nominations for the 2024 Goya Awards, which will be held on February 10 in Valladolid, are for women, as announced this Thursday by the Association of Women Filmmakers and Audiovisual Media (CIMA), which indicates which is the first time in history that this milestone occurs.
The entity has published a video on Instagram in which it highlights that the female presence in the Goya nominations has increased consecutively in the last editions, since last year the presence of nominated women was 40 percent, while that in the 36th edition it was 38 percent; in the 35th edition it was 26 percent and in the 34th edition it was 20 percent.
In addition, they point out that twelve of the 28 awards at last year’s gala went to women. In all categories there is a female presence and in the Best Cinematography category representation has increased by 40 percent.
However, they regret that in this edition there are still categories where there is only one woman nominated, as is the case of Best Original Screenplay, where only Estíbaliz Urresola is present with ‘20,000 species of bees’; best adapted screenplay with Isabel Coixet and Laura Ferrero with ‘Un Amor’; and best art direction with Izaskun Urkijo in ‘20,000 species of bees’.
«Today the achievements achieved thanks to the union of women in the industry are evident. Let’s continue working to achieve a more just and egalitarian society,” states the entity.
