Like every year (except one, the turbulent 2017, which was held in Seville), Barcelona hosts a new edition of the Waves Awards. This time the 71st, which coincides with the 100th anniversary of the first radio broadcast. As is also usual, many of the winners have passed by this morning the Palauet Albèniz to express his emotion to the press. And, as expected, the star has been David Broncano, the host of ‘La revuelta’, the program TVE’s 1 who was born, after a difficult gestation – questioned by the fortune it cost us or the Spanish -, healthy and so voracious as to gobble up part of the audiences of the king of ‘access prime time’. And strong enough to win an award just two months after seeing the light. ”With everything that happened in the previous months, I really wanted to do the program now and demonstrate what we were doing in practice, after so many hypotheses and theories that were made about it,” said the Murcian.
However, these have also been the waves of The Javis (even if they are your third parties), because the brilliant couple had dared with a risky series (even more than usual) like ‘The Messiah’, they had bet big and won the jackpot. Along with them, that cast of actresses who look like never before in fiction: Carmen Machi, Macarena García and Ana Rujas “This makes us feel that we are on the right path and it is an impulse to continue doing things and continue being free,” Calvo confessed, while Ambrossi agreed, creators who, between projects, still have time to have fun on TV with programs like ‘Drag Race’ and ‘mask singer‘.
Two protesting veterans
But this year talent was sprouting through those Montjuic gardens like mushrooms. It was there too the actress Mònica Lópezsurprised and flattered with her Ondas for best actress for her excellent work in ‘Rapa’ (Movistar Plus+). “When I found out, I was laughing for many days, then I had a stomach ache. I want to think that they reward mature women. What are they rewarding my menopause”has been direct and fluent with the freedom that age gives him. The same as another veteran like the journalist Angels Barceló, awarded for her career in radio. “More than ever, in times like these of misinformation and lies, we have to raise our hands and make ourselves noticed,” she stated energetically.
Another journalist from another generation thinks in the same way, Isabel Jiménez, from ‘Informativos Telecinco’who showed his surprise at the award — “it’s not something you expect at 40 years old” –, shared with his co-star. Four Marta Reyero: “I claim that everything has its place and its place and we are more necessary than ever,” he assured. Also in Valencia, where they have tried to give a voice to those affected. Also enjoying the success of his documentary was a young professional, ‘youtuber’, filmmaker and investigative journalist Carlos Tamayo who, with camera in hand, represents this new way of doing journalism. As shown that ‘How to hunt a monster’ (Prime Video) It didn’t have a previous script. “There are many things that you don’t discover until you go out and take the first step,” he argued.
Question of children
Jordi Évole He is already working on these awards. In fact, collect the sixth Waves. However, he recognizes how excited he is that a documentary that they had to make in record time is awarded. to talk about 11-M. “I did not experience it from information services, but as a citizen, and I remember the anxiety that was felt in the following days. And to be able to remember it and talk to the greats like Iñaki Gabilondo, Mamen Mendizábal and Fran Llorente…”, he assured. Equally proud of this award (which his second son brought under his arm) he was Richard Ustrellas well as the award-winning program, ‘Col•lapse’ (TV3). And the son, of course. And he laughs at the commotion he caused wearing an Ondas in a photo a few days ago. “It was a joke. It was from ‘Joc de cartes’, but since we covered the plaque…”, he explained.
Aina Clotet She was also full of her ‘creature’, that delicious series that laughs at the new forms of parenting that is ‘Això is not Suècia’/ ‘This is not Suècia’ (TV3/TVE): “People like to see a series of failures from which you learn,” he acknowledged.. And, as a ‘good mother’, she proudly began to tell how she has grown: “It’s a very nice journey. The series has reached people and now picking up an Ondas is fantastic. Furthermore, we are very happy with how it has gone at the European level,” he emphasized.
The TowDavid and Josethey did not sing their joy, but they lacked little. And they were delighted to share the lifetime achievement award with their colleagues. The Chichos. Of a quarter of a century, yours, and of half, theirs. Cultivating rumba-rock, those from Cornellà; flamenco rumba, those from Vallecas. “We are especially excited that it is an ex aequo award with the Chichos. Without them we would not exist. Our father played his tapes for us when we went to town and thanks to that we do rumbas,” acknowledged the Muñoz brothers, who also participate in this year’s ‘La Marató’ Disc.
Tonight everyone will dress up to receive the precious winged horse at the Liceu.
