The article reflects on how TVE covered the Goya Awards this year, emphasizing the balance between professional effort and some trivial elements that overshadowed the event. While the ongoing attack on Iran significantly impacted the focus of their news coverage, TVE managed to provide comprehensive coverage of the awards on time. They made the event accessible through their platform, RTVE Play, offering a view of the red carpet arrivals without audio, allowing audiences to witness the interactions between guests and the media.

The hosts, Bandini and Tosar, are noted for their good-natured professionalism, although the lack of jokes or noteworthy anecdotes contributed to a more restrained atmosphere. Compared to the typical light-heartedness expected during such awards shows, the interactions were more collegial than humorous, with an emphasis on the formalities of the event. The piece also pointed out the conspicuous differences in how guests were treated on the red carpet, mentioning the contrasting experiences of those eager for selfies versus those who were largely overlooked by fans.

The article concludes by noting how TVE attempted to infuse some fun into their coverage, particularly through the RTVE Play service, yet it fell short of delivering the vibrant and cheeky spirit often associated with such ceremonies. The mention of political statements, like wearing a “Free Palestine” badge, also reflects the complex social environment surrounding these cultural events in light of contemporary issues, underscoring the already fraught context in which the awards were presented.
