Two of the best and most international actors in our country are nominated this Saturday for the Goya awards. Penélope Cruz and Javier Bardem are having an impeccable season of success, as they are taking all the nominations for their respective work in El Buen Patron, Todo Sobre Los Ricardos, and Parallel Mothers. And what might seem like a reason for celebration has been an opportunity to reach an agreement between them, as the actor explained on the red carpet of the Feroz awards after winning his award for best leading performance. “Penelope has not been able to come because we have decided that one of them should come so that another stays at home,” He said after the gala. Next weekend the Goya will be held and the situation repeats itself because both could take the precious statuette, will they choose this option again or will we see them together again on the red carpet?

In the Feroz Penélope also opted for the award for best leading actress and finally, it was Petra Martínez for Life was that who won the award, but what would have happened if the two had won the award? Javier resolved the issue by commenting that there was someone from his team in Madres Parallels who would have gone on stage to accept it if it had been so. If they continue with the mechanics they had for this gala that works as a prelude to the Goya, it could mean that if the protagonist of The Good Boss triumphs again, someone who was part of the film would be in charge of collecting the statuette while the actress by Vicky Cristina Barcelona is in the room.

This would also mean that we will not see Penelope and Javier together again on the red carpet, since they have not posed together since they premiered Loving Pablo in 2018. However, they have been together at events where they did not necessarily have to attend. two, such as at the closing ceremony of the Venice Film Festival last year. On that occasion, they were photographed together on one of the boats in which the interpreters enter and leave the Mostra, and they also kissed in the stalls before the interpreter went on stage to receive the Volpi Cup for her performance in Parallel Mothers .

The Oscars will not be the couple’s last chance to lavish themselves in public either, since the Oscar nominations have been announced on Tuesday and both appear on the list. A milestone in their careers and in their life together that also reaffirms his role in Hollywood, since Javier Bardem has received the honor for his work in Todo Sobre Los Ricardos, where he shares the lead with Nicole Kidman. In the case of Penelope, she once again demonstrates that the pairing she forms with Pedro Almodóvar is the best showcase for cinema in our country since Madres parallels are up for two awards.
