• Resumen

  • The Spanish Film Academy, Academia de las Artes y las Ciencias Cinematográficas (Academia) is an institution in which film professionals of all the film trades and crafts belong and confer awards yearly on the best-regarded work. Academia's most prestigious prizes for recognizing and encouraging a particular type of Spanish film music is the Premios Goya, the Spanish Oscars. This chapter narrates an account of the music Goyas, some of the ways in which they allocate distinction, and the assumptions they have created. What role has the Academia carved for Spanish film music with the prizes it confers on Best Original Score (Mejor Música Original) and Best Original Song (Mejor Canción Original)? Has the Academia bestowed value on Spanish music for the cinema and created a canon of sounds and composers, sustaining a particular version of Spanish film history?
