He wins Matteo Garronehis film about migrants wins, or rather the reverse shot of the history of migrants, what happens before arriving in Italy «and which is never shown», as the director explains.** I captain** is the best ai movie Donatello's David. Garrone also receives the award for best director, and with these two David takes home the two most important prizes. «I would like to thank all the extras in the film, who are real migrants who made the journey, who co-directed many scenes with me», says the director. «This film is dedicated to those who died at sea», says the actor Seydou Sarr, who in the story plays one of the two boys who dream of Italy. The finale of the awards ceremony is all about I captainalready an Oscar finalist, but the evening up to this point had had another protagonist: Paola Cortellesi. Hers are six Davids: best supporting actress Emanuela Fanelli, the spectator's David, the Giovani one, the best directorial debut, the original screenplay and also the leading actress, who is always Paola Cortellesi. So much so that she herself jokes about it: «It's all a big deal. The same faces. I anticipate the comments at the exit, which I agree with”, “Tonight is a trend”. The 5 and a half million grossing director established herself with hers There's still tomorrow, a story of domestic violence set in an already sensational record at the Italian box office. «This is the only certainty», says Cortellesi in the first speech, «I want to thank the spectators, we dream of full rooms and shared emotions. I thank my producers who, faced with a film in black and white, in Roman dialect, with ballets and with beatings, wanted to do so, to the artistic and technical cast. I don't like those who consider the public a mass of strangers, we all are and I like to think that there are those who have fought, those who have made mistakes, those who don't think like me. Thanks to the five million who made the heroic gesture of leaving home, paying for a ticket, looking for parking to see our film, like that gentleman from Turin who said “I'm one of those children they sent over there” and the lady from Genoa who said “I was Delia but I'm not anymore”.
Among the other winners, the best leading and supporting actor are respectively Michele Riondino and Elio Germanofriends in life and colleagues on the set of Laf building, Riondino's directorial debut. It is one of the moments in which civil commitment bursts onto the David stage. «This film talks about work, something somewhat forgotten by cinema, but we have seen how it has violently entered the lives of many. Maybe films can't change stories but maybe watch them. Many have told us about their Palazzine Laf”, says Elio Germano. The reference is to the Palazzina Laf of Ilva in Taranto, where the workers most disliked by the manager were stationed without any duties, the first case of conviction for mobbing in Italy. For the same film, Diodate wins for best original song, My land. The best composers are instead i Subsonic for Adagio.
Among the most intense moments of the ceremony, conducted by Carlo Conti And Alessia Marcuzzi (and Fabrizio Biggio hosting the pre-show and acting as a heckler), after the Gold suit Of Mahmood (very excited), the tribute to George Moroder with Giorgia singing a powerful version of I Feel Love: “The best ever,” says Moroder himself. And then the homage to Milena VukotichDavid for Lifetime Achievement, and the special David to Vincenzo Mollica, who moves everyone with his words: «If blindness left me for a moment, I would like to see my wife and daughter.”
