PEDRO ALMODOVAR's VOLVER picked up five honours at the Goya Awards in Madrid, Spain last night (28JAN07), including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actress for PENELOPE CRUZ.

The movie, which had received 14 nominations, also won Best Original Soundtrack for ALBERTO IGLESIAS.

On collecting her Best Actress award, Cruz said, "This award is very important, very special for me. I am going to try not to cry because I'm a disaster, and these 30 seconds are not going to be enough."

PAN'S LABYRINTH, which is nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film at next month's (FEB07) Oscars, collected the most awards - seven in total, including Best Original Screenplay for Mexican writer/director Guillermo del Toro.

Del Toro said, "My relationship with Spain as a filmmaker is one of profound admiration and respect... that began with the hand of Pedro (Almodovar)."
