# 37th Goya Awards

The 37th Goya Awards ceremony, presented by the Academy of Cinematographic Arts and Sciences of Spain, took place at the FIBES Conference and Exhibition Centre in Seville, Andalusia on 11 February 2023.

## Background

On 31 May 2022, Seville was revealed as the host city, with the awards thereby set to return to the Andalusian capital after the 33rd edition. On 29 June 2022, the specific date of 11 February was disclosed by the academy president Fernando Méndez-Leite and the Mayor of Seville Antonio Muñoz, along with the announcement of the venue (the FIBES Conference and Exhibition Centre) and the reported increase from 4 to 5 nominations per category. In November 2022 Clara Lago and Antonio de la Torre were announced as the co-hosts of the gala, to be directed by Tinet Rubira and Ángel Custodio, with Fernando Pérez helming the screenwriting team.
The nominations were announced on 1 December 2022 by actresses Blanca Portillo and Nora Navas, The Beasts led the nominations with seventeen, followed by Prison 77 with sixteen and Alcarràs and Lullaby, both with eleven. Director Carlos Saura, recipient of the Honorary Goya Award, died on 10 February 2023, a day before the awards. He was honored posthumously during the ceremony.
Rodrigo Sorogoyen's thriller The Beasts received the most awards during the ceremony with nine wins, including Best Film. The bronze Goya statuettes were brownish instead of featuring their traditional greenish finishing as a consequence of the use of recycled bronze.
