The movie 20,000 species of bees, by newcomer Estíbaliz Urresola, is the favorite (15 nominations) for the 38th edition of the Goya Awards, awards that are presented tonight at a ceremony held in Valladolid. Her main rival is The Snow Society (13), the acclaimed film Juan Antonio Bayona -very likely winner as best director- about the tragedy of the Andes, which is also in the Oscar race with two options for a statuette.

David Verdaguerwho plays the comedian Eugenio in They know that one, is the favorite in the leading actor category. He already won at the Feroz and also at the Gaudí, a week ago. He has as a rival Hovik Keuchkerian (One Love), Silver Shell in San Sebastián. Manolo Solo (Close the eyes), Alberto Ammann (Upon Entry) and Enric Auquer (The teacher who promised to see the sea) will also fight for that same statuette.
