Filmmaker Icíar Bollaín on the latest edition of the Goya Awards: "When you split the prize, you make more people happy"

It's been a month since the big surprise that was the Goya Awards 2025 gala. For the first time in the history of the Spanish film awards, an award for Best Film was given ex aequo, that is, it had two winners, The 47 and Undercover [La infiltrada].

A few days ago we were able to talk to the two-time winner of the award (for Take My Eyes in 2004), Icíar Bollaín, as part of the presentation of the San Diego Comic-Con in Malaga, the first non-US edition of this comic, film and video game event. Gamereactor asked the actress and director about various topics related to the world of film and her career, but also about her opinion on the historic moment that saw the 39th edition of the Goya Awards.

"It was something quite unique, it made me think how it hadn't happened before, I guess it's very difficult", the filmmaker acknowledged. "Also, they didn't know anything about it, so it was quite funny. I've been to other festivals and when you split the award, it makes people happier. Two people get to take home their Goya, which is great."
