2009 Ariel Awards
2009 Ariel nominations: Feb. 27, 2009
2009 Ariel winners: National Auditorium in Mexico City on March 31, 2009
("*" denotes the winner in each category)
Fernando Eimbcke’s minimalist comedy Lake Tahoe presents a series of vignettes showing a small-town teenager (Diego Cataño) trying to cope with the death of his father. Lake Tahoe won three Ariels: best film, best director, and best supporting actor (Héctor Herrera). The night’s biggest winner, however, was Rodrigo Plá’s drama Desierto adentro, set during Mexico’s Cristero War, with eight awards including best actor (Mario Zaragoza) and best original screenplay. Box-office hit Arrancame la vida / Tear This Heart Out, Mexico’s submission for the 2009 foreign-language film Academy Award, failed to get a best picture nod but managed to collect a total of four trophies, including best adapted screenplay (it was the sole nominee in that category). Another box-office success, Rudo y Cursi, starring Gael García Bernal and Diego Luna, failed to win a single Ariel out of its eight nods. Golden Ariel winner Fanny Kauffman was given a posthumous award, as the 84-year-old, Canadian-born, Cuban-raised comedienne died shortly after learning that she would be honored at the ceremony.

I prefer Eimbcke’s Duck Season. Lake Taho was a little too slow for my taste.
