'Volver,' Cruz light up Spain's Goyas

January 29, 2007 Pedro Almodovar's "Volver" walked away with five top honors at the 21st Goya Awards ceremony Sunday, leaving rivals "Alatriste," "Pan's Labyrinth" and "Salvador" to divvy up the remainder of the prizes. Despite the fact that "Volver" snagged several key awards, including film, director, actress, original score and supporting actress, Spain's most international director was not on hand to receive his award, instead opting to stay home. Almodovar had a falling out with the Spanish film academy in 2005 over the treatment of his film "Bad Education" and hasn't attended a gala ceremony since.
