It was the second consecutive year that the ceremony was held in Málaga. It was also the third consecutive year that the ceremony took place in Andalusia.

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the hosts, award presenters and music performers were present on-site, while the nominees appeared from remote locations.[3]

Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on cinema, the eligibility criteria were modified to account for films that could not have a theatrical release and were released on streaming instead.[4] Nominations were scheduled to be read in Madrid on 11 January 2021, but the announcement was postponed to January 18 due to the disruption caused by Storm Filomena.[5] Nominations were read by actress and singer Ana Belén and actor and comedian Dani Rovira. Adú received the most nominations with thirteen, followed by Coven and Schoolgirls, with nine nominations a piece, and Rosa's Wedding, with eight nominations.[6][7][8]
