The actress, who was the first president of the entity, has not received any Goya until this award, but she has been nominated and, in addition, among other awards, she has a silver shell at the San Sebastián Festival.

Recently, in an interview with Europa Press, Sánchez-Gijón revealed that, when the academy told him the award, “he did not understand the prize being relatively young.” Months later, the actress says she continues “assimilating” and thinking that she is young for this recognition, since she is the youngest woman to receive it and the second minor award, behind Antonio Banderas, who succeeded with 54 years.

Things are constantly happening. The ‘Metoo’ Spanish does not have to happen specifically in the cinema. It is happening in all the professions,” he added .
