The Realm (El Reino) leads the charge at the Goya Awards as the nominations for Spain's equivalent of the Oscars were announced today.

Rodrigo Sorogoyen's political thriller, starring Antonio de la Torre, charts the downward spiral of a corrupt politco, and is up for 13 awards, including Best Film and Best Director. De la Torre receives a double nomination, with a Supporting Actor nod for his role as José Mujica in A Twelve-Year Night (La Noche De 12 Años), which charts the future Uruguayan president's years' long imprisonment under the dictatorship.

Javier Fesser's comedy Champions (Campeones) received 11 nominations, while Petra, by Jaime Rosales, Arantxa Echevarria's Carmen & Lola and Everybody Knows (Todos Lo Saben), by Asghar Farhadi each have eight nods. Scots scriptwriter Paul Laverty also receives a nomination for his screenplay adaptation of Carlos Acosta's ballet biopic Yuli.
