The
Goya Awards, known in Spanish as los
Premios Goya, are Spain's main
national film awards, considered by
many in Spain, and internationally,
to be the Spanish equivalent of the
American Academy Awards. The awards
were established in 1987, a year
after the founding of the Academia
de las Artes y las Ciencias
Cinematográficas de España (Spanish
Academy of Cinematic Art and
Science), and the first awards
ceremony took place on March 16,
1987 at the Teatro Lope de Vega,
Madrid. The ceremony continues to
take place annually around the end
of January, and awards are given to
films produced during the previous
year.
The
award itself is a small bronze bust
of Francisco de Goya created by the
sculptor José Luis Fernández. The
Academia de las Artes y las Ciencias
Cinematográficas de España (Spanish
for 'Spanish Academy of
Cinematographic Arts and Sciences',
AACCE) is a Spanish professional
organisation dedicated to the
promotion and development of Spanish
cinema. Founded in 1986, it is
responsible for the annual Goya
Awards, Spain's principal film
awards. The Academy's origins lie in
a meeting of thirteen film
professionals organised by the
producer Alfredo Matas at Madrid's
O'Pazo Restaurant on November 12,
1985 to discuss the situation of the
Spanish film industry.
