Los Goya Awards 2024 They recognized the talent of Vigo and its area. The Porriñesa Janet Novas took the award to best new actress for his role in the film ‘The cuckold‘. The 41-year-old dancer and choreographer made her film debut playing a midwife in Galicia in 1971 who has to flee after helping with an abortion.
Alternating Spanish and Galician, depending on who he was addressing, the climatic moment came when He remembered his grandmothers, to whom he dedicated the award. “Carmen and Saladina, I take you with me, because they were as wild and knew like María; They value a knowledge that connects with what is essential, a wisdom that is not articulated through words, that rests on the body and walks, dances, sings for the injustices to which they were subjected. I went for all of them, for all of them,” she stated.
She also remembered the team that accompanied her in her acting debut and dedicated a few words to the director, Jaione Camborda, resident in Santiago, who set the film in A Illa de Arousa: “Thank you for making this film, animal, wild, instinctive, that smells of the earth and tastes of life. “You have made a friend.”
Little active on social networks, did not make any public comments, despite the fact that their accounts and walls were filled with congratulations. Novás was still in a cloud. Happy.
