Spanish filmmaker Enrique Urbizu's film No Habra Paz para los Malvados ran away with six trophies at Spain's annual Goya awards on Sunday (February 19) while Elena Anaya and Jose Coronado won best actor and actress.

Spain's brightest stars took a stroll down this year's red carpet for the 26s annual Academy of Cinematic Art and Science Awards. Representing this year's most nominated film, "The Skin I Live In," were nominated actors Antonio Banderas and his wife actress Melanie Griffin.

Among the other stars gracing the Spanish cinema's most eagerly awaited event were Mexican actress Salma Hayek, and Oscar winner director Pedro Almodovar.

Hayek who wore an elegant dress earned a nomination for her role in "La Chispa de la Vida" (As Luck Would Have It). "I'm so happy to be hear. I mean, the Goyas are legendary. I never thought in my life that I would be here tonight. I'm very grateful to the Spanish Academy for thinking on me and including me tonight," Hayek said.

Pedro Almodovar's movie about an amoral plastic surgeon who takes terrifying revenge on the young man who rapes his daughter earned four awards. "The reason at least for me to work is not just to give an award or to receive an award but in this case is always a celebration. I'm very happy, I'm very happy," the Spanish director said before the ceremony.

Handsome leading man Antonio Banderas could not win his first Goya for depicting the surgeon who creates a synthetic skin in Almodovar´s film.

The Spanish film "No Habra Paz para los Malvados" won the most awards including Best Director, Best Movie and best leading actor. Coronado won the leading actor award for depicting a police officer in Urizu's thriller.

Basque composer Alberto Iglesias, who is nominated for an Oscar for "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy", won his 10th Goya for "The Skin I Live In".
