The Goya Awards 40: We Follow the Technical Awards from Foro3D 🎬

Published on February 27, 2026 | Translated from Spanish

The 40th edition of the Goya Awards takes place this Saturday in Barcelona, with Los domingos and Sirat as the films with the most nominations. From Foro3D.com, our attention focuses on the technical categories that interest the community: cinematography, visual effects, production design, and editing. These recognitions highlight the work behind the images and serve as a reference for 3D modeling, lighting, and post-production projects.

The technology behind the image: references for digital artists 🎨

Nominations in categories like visual effects or cinematography detail the use of tools and processes. Analyzing the work of Koldo Corella or the team of El sueño de la sultana allows understanding trends in CGI integration, motion capture techniques, or color management in complex environments. These cases are study material for optimizing workflows in 3D software and render engines, showcasing solutions applied in national productions.

Faster rendering than a thank-you speech? ⏱️

While the presenters try not to misread the technicians' names, we imagine their workstations. Surely some visual effects winner had more *software crashes* during production than nerves when going up on stage. And it's likely that the final render of some film was completed just in time, with the same tension as waiting for them to open the envelope. At least our renders don't have to thank the Academy.
