Los domingos, the story of a young woman who discovers a religious vocation, claimed the Goya for Best Film at the 40th edition of Spain's premier cinema awards, walking away with five prizes in total — one fewer than Sirat, a meditation on death that dominated the technical categories with six wins.

Directed by Alauda Ruiz de Azúa, Los domingos secured Best Film alongside Best Direction, Best Original Screenplay, Best Actress for Patricia López Arnaiz, and Best Supporting Actress for Nagore Aranburu.

Sirat, which will represent Spain at the Academy Awards in two weeks with nominations for Best International Feature Film and Best Sound, claimed the Goyas for Best Original Score, Best Production Design, Best Editing, Best Sound, Best Cinematography, and Best Art Direction.

Another film that emerged as a clear winner of the evening was Sorda, which swept all three categories for which it was nominated: Best New Director (Eva Libertad), Best Breakthrough Actress (Miriam Garlo), and Best Supporting Actor (Álvaro Cervantes).

Manuel Gómez Pereira's La cena took home Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Costume Design, while Albert Serra claimed his first Goya for Best Documentary with Tardes de soledad, an intimate portrait of the personal and professional life of Peruvian bullfighter Andrés Roca Rey. The award came at the expense of Flores para Antonio, which nonetheless secured the prize for Best Original Song, awarded to Alba Flores and Silvia Pérez Cruz.

Best Breakthrough Actor went to young performer Toni Fernández Gabarre for his role in Ciudad sin sueño, a film depicting the harsh realities of a marginalized neighborhood. Alejandro Amenábar's El cautivo left with only the award for Best Hair and Makeup, while Alberto Rodríguez's Los Tigres claimed Best Special Effects.
