A night of celebration for Spanish cinema
The Feroz 2024 Awards witnessed an exciting event that reflected the great year of Spanish cinema. ‘20,000 Species of Bees’ stood out by winning the award for Best Drama Film, while Juan Antonio Bayona was recognized as Best Director for ‘The Snow Society’. The diversity of award winners, which included Robot Dreams, Saben That, Te Amando Madly, Upon Entry and Let Nobody Sleep, highlighted the wealth of cinematographic talent in Spain.
Outstanding recognitions
The award for Best Supporting Actress was awarded to Patricia López Arnaiz for her outstanding performance in ‘20,000 Species of Bees’, while Malena Alterio and David Verdaguer were awarded Best Actress and Leading Actor, respectively, for their roles in ‘Que Nadie sleep’ and ‘You know that’. Pablo Berger expressed his gratitude for the recognition of ‘Robot Dreams’, highlighting the importance of not separating the categories of animated and comedy films.
Reflections on the film industry
The gala also witnessed important reflections on the film industry. The complaint of sexual violence by three women against director Carlos Vermut generated a significant impact. Despite the presence of prominent figures such as Isabel Coixet, Enriq Auquer, Elena Martín and Jedet on the Red Carpet, the topic did not have the same relevance during the awards ceremony.
Commitment to society
The winners not only celebrated their achievements, but also used their platform to address important social issues. Juan Sebastián Vásquez and Alejandro Rojas, awarded for Best Screenplay for ‘Upon Entry’, called for a ceasefire in Palestine. In addition, the president of the Association of Cinematographic Informants of Spain, María Guerra, urged victims to report violence, highlighting the commitment of the Feroz Awards to social causes.
The impact of ‘The Messiah’
The series ‘The Messiah’ was one of the big winners of the night, sweeping several categories. The winners’ speeches reflected the positive impact of art on society, with messages of support for victims of violence and calls for social awareness. The diversity of topics addressed during the ceremony highlighted the importance of film and television as platforms for change and reflection.

The night culminated with the complete list of winners, which included notable recognitions in categories such as Best Original Music, Best Poster, Best Trailer, and special awards such as the Feroz AUDI Honor Award awarded to Mónica Randall.
