5th Goya Awards


The 5th Goya Awards ceremony, presented by the Academy of Cinematographic Arts and Sciences of Spain, took place in Madrid on 16 February 1991. The gala was hosted by Lydia Bosch and Jorge Sanz.
¡Ay, Carmela! swept the awards, winning in 13 out of 15 categories it was nominated for, including Best Film. The broascast was initially entrusted to Televisión Española but after the intended host Lydia Bosch signed for Antena 3, TVE asked to replace Bosch some days before the event. After the Academy's refusal to replace Bosch for another host, the Academy reached an agreement with Antena 3 to air the ceremony instead.
