Actress Sigourney Weaver emotionally and occasionally delivered a speech in Spanish collected the international Goya from director JA Bayona, whom she affectionately calls ‘Jota’.
Bayona, who directed Goya’s film ‘A Monster Comes to See Me’, for which she was nominated for Best Supporting Actress, greeted her on stage. “She’s a legend. The Queen.”
Words the actor was grateful for as he saw the audience stand up and applaud his arrival. “You make me feel like a queen.”
“I would like to thank my cinema teacher friend, thank you for this beautiful speech and congratulations on the film and the Goya Awards it received. It is a great honor to be here with all of you tonight and to receive this award from you, Jota”
Luis Buñuel’s ‘Viridiana’ or the recent ‘The JA Bayona’s ‘Snow Society’ are “a film of great subtlety and beauty,” Weaver said.
The actor reminded that he never wanted to disappoint the public when choosing his roles, and expressed how proud he was of being an actor.
“I never wanted to repeat myself; I was always searching. Stories for women that remind us “We are strong and surprising,” he said.
Funnily enough, he had a very fond memory of his dubbing actress, María Luisa Solá.
“He has dubbed me in over 30 movies. My friend Bill Murray, who is an actor, always says my Spanish translation is better. My voice actor should be here. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
And he concluded his words by emphasizing the following: it was a great honor get the reward. He said goodbye with “I want to come every year” and a warm “enjoy your night, my friends”.
