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.

Ariel 2006 Winners
Mezcal by Ignacio Ortiz

In fact, those three films were nominated in nearly every category, including best film and best direction. They ended (three-way) splitting the Ariel wins.
