“The Snow Society” swept the 2024 Platinum Awards: all the winners

The movie The Snow Society was the big winner of the 11th edition of the Platino Ibero-American Cinema and Audiovisual Awards, which were presented in the paradisiacal Xcaret park, in Playa del Carmen, Mexico.

The film directed by Juan Antonio Bayona took six of the awards organized by the Rights Management Entity of Audiovisual Producers of Spain (EGEDA) and the Ibero-American Federation of Film Producers (FIPCA).

In this way, the film that portrays the tragedy of the Andes thus ends its successful path, which began with its premiere in theaters in Spain at the end of 2023 and then continued with its arrival, on January 4, on Netflix, where It was seen by more than 250 million people. Then he won 11 Goya awards, added two Oscar nominations and now he swept the Platinum Awards.

The Snow Society won best editing direction, best cinematography, best sound direction, best direction (Bayonne), best male performance (Enzo Vogrincic) and the last of the night, best Ibero-American fiction film.

“This story comes from telling the story the right way. I dedicate this to the survivors and to the family and friends of the deceased,” Bayona said upon receiving his award, and highlighted the production team that united Spain, Argentina, Chile and Uruguay. “I come from Uruguay, a small country that has few opportunities, and from a neighborhood that has fewer opportunities… And when they give you an opportunity it is very appreciated,” Enzo later highlighted.

Argentine productions were present with the triumphs of Andy Chango (best male performance in a supporting cast in a miniseries or television series for his role as Charly García in The love after Love) and Daniel Burman (best creator in a miniseries or television series for the second season of Iosi, the repentant spy).

Besides, Barrabrava won best Ibero-American cinematographic miniseries or teleseries

AND Cecilia Roth She was awarded the Platinum Honor Award for her extensive and outstanding career.

“When I was little I played with my brother Ariel and I made up stories, like we were astronauts… But before starting the game he told me ‘but we made it true’. And I acted it out for real. I mean that for my that game turned into truth is cinema. We convert a parallel reality and there we create a story,” said the actress, after the standing applause of everyone present at the ceremony.

“I need to say that we must take care of our cinema. Our cinema is in danger. The Ibero-American community is a single cinema, and we must be aware of the place we occupy in the world. In our country the problem is serious. Let us be attentive, let us resist…”added Roth, referring to the cuts in culture promoted by Javier Milei’s government.

And after listening to it, the winners of each award joined in the claim. Among them, Bayona sentenced: “To be against cinema is to be against one’s own country. Argentina, we are here to support.”

The gala, which was hosted by the Colombian Májida Issa and the Mexican Esmeralda Pimentel, began with a great role by the former Mambrú Gerónimo Rauch, who was in charge of the opening dance musical show.

The music then returned with a tribute to Mexico and the classics played The cat under the rain (in the voice of Ana Mena), Obsession and Perhaps perhaps Perhaps (by Ángela Aguilar), and La Bikina, Llorona, Mexico on the skin (by Májida Issa, Ana Guerra and Mariaca Semprún).

And the closing was in charge of David Bisbal, who made everyone dance with a mix of his hits.
