Stand-up comedian and star of the biggest box office hit in Spanish history, `8 Apellidos Vascos’, Dani Rovira may be himself one of the nominees.

His name was announced today by the President of the Spanish Academia, Enrique González Macho.  Dani Rovira attended the media relaxed and happy. He said that when he was asked he immediately said yes but then when he got home, he freaked out. It´s a big responsibility but he will remember all these many years of standup and just do it.

He promised to host a gala celebrating the great moment the Spanish cinema is having this year and to have a show full of comedy and music.

Please, let be it and not that long and boring show we are used to. It´s really difficult to mix fun with that long list of awards to be handed and those endless speeches anyway.

Next to be announced: the Honorary Goya Award.
