why goya
Film Academy Awards dating from 1987. The organization intended to hold a gala inspired by the style set by the Oscars, but what name the awards would be given was something that lifted the dust before the final decision was reached. Options such as Soles, Buñuel Awards or Lumière Awards were considered, but the Goya awards were the most supported.
