What is the economic prize of winning a Goya?

Countdown so that this Saturday the Goya Awards 2022 starting at 10:00 p.m. at Palace of the Arts of Valencia. One more year, only a privileged few will be able to get the long-awaited statuette.

Many wonder how much money the winners walk away with, however, the bases of the awards are clear: “They lack financial resources and are merely honorific and recognition of professional work”. Therefore, the actors, directors and technical teams do not obtain an economic benefit in exchange for the ‘bighead’. This means that those privileged who hear their name tonight in the Turia capital, They will only receive an honorary recognition, in recognition of their professional work.

This is what you really win at the Goya: a trophy, a diploma and expenses paid to the Gala

In addition, they will take homeThe famous ‘big heads’ with the image of Goya, which are manufactured exclusively each year: only one is made for each category. In the event that the award-winning work had more than one natural person responsible for the category, the Academy could authorize, upon express request, the creation of duplicates. Of course, the cost of these would be borne by the interested parties. However, for those multidisciplinary categories, such as Best Makeup and Hairstyling, the Film Academy would make several statuettes if the natural persons in charge of those disciplines are different within the same award-winning film.

Along with the trophy distinction, all winners receive an invitation to be part of the film academy as Full Members, except for the winners in the categories of Original Song and the three short films. Said invitation supposes an exemption from the payment of the entrance fee. But, what benefits does being part of the Film Academy bring you? Once accepted at the Academy, academic members can attend the Spanish cinema festival with all expenses paid by the organization.

On the other hand, the Academy offers the person recognized with the Goya of Honor the possibility of joining the institution under the title of Honorary Academician. In addition, all nominated candidates obtain a diploma in all categories.

Parallel to these advantages, there is a black legend around the Goya awards. Some supporters of these awards argue that taking the prize can harm the winner’s career. In fact, this was the case for Candela Peña, winner of three awards from the Film Academy for her participation in ‘Te doy mis ojos’ (2003), ‘Princesas’ (2005) and ‘A pistol in each hand’ (2012). Nine years ago, at the 2013 gala, the actress acknowledged that she had not worked for three years and that the prize did not feed her. She even asked to be given a job. This is proof that winning a bobblehead does not necessarily translate into more job offers.

Who could win with the Goya this year?

This Saturday they will be distributed a total of 28 awards, divided into several categories. Two Goyas will also be added to these awards: the Honorary one, for José Sacristán, and the new International Goya, which has gone to the Australian actress Cate Blanchett. Of all the candidates, the favorite of this edition is the tape ‘The Good Boss’. The movie of Fernando Leon de Aranoa It has been carried 20 nominations thus becoming the film with the most nominations in the history of the awards. In addition, it could win the important categories and is only exempt from those in which it cannot be nominated for best documentary, animated film, animated short and short, novel direction, adapted screenplay and song.

Despite all the nominations You can only take up to 16 bobbleheads and it is that there are categories in which several of its actors compete with each other.
