'Campeones' was the favourite with eleven nominations but finally was the looser because only won three awards, including the Best Novel Actor Award for Jesus Vidal and the best original song for 'Este es el momento' (This is the moment), performed by Coque Malla. The movie talks about a group of disabled people who play basket and manages to overcome its weaknesses. A social movie “that make visible the disabled people,“ said Jesus Vidal.

The president of the Academy of Arts and Cinematographic Sciences of Spain, Mariano Barroso, said that “17 and half millions of people have come to the movie teather to see a Spanish movie an the big screen, after getting around an ever thicker forest of screens of all sizes. That has a merit.“ But, he added, “we would be very clumsy if we saw those thousands, millions of small screens as enemies.“ This year, the film 'Jurassic World, el reino caído' (Jurassic World, the fallen Kingdom), directed by Juan Antonio Bayona, was the thirth movie more seen on the world and the first in Spain. For this, Mariano Barroso said: “The cinema will not desappear. Only he is forever searching new modes“ of expression. “Maybe is the moment when a girl say at home that she want to be director, script writter or actress, their parents do not feel a chill of fear. Maybe they should feel a chill of pride because their daughter wants to have a decent job.“
