Alfredo Landa recoge el Goya de Honor 2008

“I don’t know how I could have done this to a man who did all this,” José Corbacho said regretfully after a comedic skit that included references to Swedish women and led into the presentation of the Honorary Goya Award to “a man who coined a genre with his name alone.” Alfredo Landa took to the stage to a long ovation to receive the tribute from the entire Spanish film industry, presented by José Sacristán and Miguel Rellán. “I don’t know how to say thank you. I wanted to leave a record of my gratitude for the profession, to leave a mark with my thanks. You’ll have to forgive me if I haven’t been able to express myself as I would have liked,” said an emotional Landa, who asked his family to join him on stage to “support” him as he accepted the award. The 22nd Goya Awards ceremony was held on February 3, 2008, at the Municipal Congress Palace in Madrid.
