2013 Premis Gaudí (Catalan film awards) – winners

Tonight, the Acadèmia del Cinema Català (Catalan Film Academy) held their 5th Premis Gaudí (Gaudi Awards) ceremony for Catalan film at Barcelona Teatre Musical. The event was hosted by comedian Andreu Buenafuente.

Pablo Berger's Blancaneu ("Snow White") won the top prize of Best Picture in Catalan Language. It also won for Art Direction, Music, and Costumes. The film is a silent, black-and-white retelling of the Snow White story set in the world of bullfighting in 1920s Spain.

Lo imposible (The Impossible) by Juan Antonio Bayona pulled off something of an upset, however, winning all six of its categories for which it was nominated. It won Best Director and Best European Film as well as Best Editing, Best Cinematography, Best Sound and Best Hair/Makeup.

Also with four awards was Una Pistola En Cada Mano (A Gun In Each Hand) by Cesc Gay. It won for Best Picture not in Catalan Language, Best Screenplay, Best Supporting Actress (Candela Peña) and Best Supporting Actor (Eduard Fernánde).

An Honourary Gaudí Award was presented to Spanish actress Montserrat Carulla. In addition the Acadèmia del Cinema Català granted honorary membership to actress Anna Lizaran (posthumous), writer-director Bigas Luna, actress Montserrat Salvador, director of photography Thomas Pladevall, musician and Santos Macario Gomez poster.
