All countries have their cinema awards: the Oscars in United States, the BAFTA in the UK and the César in France. In Spain we also have ours, the Goya, the annual awards from the Arts Academy and the Cinematographic Sciences for best directors, actors and films from Spanish cinema.
This year we celebrate the XXVIth edition of awards that will take place on the 19th of February in the Palacio Municipal de Congresos (a convention centre) in Madrid. So, if you are in the city to undertake a Spanish course, use the opportunity to see the best Spanish actors on the Spanish cinema’s red carpet.
Pedro Almodóvar y Penélope Cruz
The prises are awarded to a total of 28 categories for different cinema areas, although the most important ones are the best film award, the best director and the best male and female interpretations. Some of the award winners from the Premios Goya history are great actors such as Javier Bardem and Penélope Cruz, and directors like Pedro Almodóvar and Alejandro Amenábar. All awarded people receive a bronze bust of Francisco Goya, the painter who gave the name to the awards.
The Spanish films are a great resource to learn Spanish, we therefore advise you, if you are undertaking a Spanish course in Madrid or in Spain, not to miss any of the films forming part of the event, such as the favourite this year “La piel que habito”, from Almodóvar.
