Spanish police thriller "Marshland" picked up 10 trophies at the Goya Awards, Spain's version of the Oscars, which honoured Antonio Banderas with a lifetime achievement award. Among others, the movie about a police probe into the disappearance of two sisters after a local fiesta in rural Spain in 1980, won best film, best original screenplay and best director for Alberto Rodriguez at a ceremony in Madrid late Saturday. Spanish actor Javier Gutierrez won the best actor prize for his role as a violent policeman in the movie -- Spanish title "La Isla Minima" -- while Barbara Lennie was named best actress for her role as an unstable housewife in dark comedy "Magical Girl". Oscar-winning director Pedro Almodovar praised Banderas as he handed him with a lifetime achievement award, an honorary Goya, saying the 54-year-old actor "lit fire to Spanish movie screens in the 1980s" and then went on to become the first Spanish actor to achieve success in Hollywood.
