On Saturday night, the stage was set for the award ceremony in the Grieg Hall in Bergen. Here, the cream of Norwegian TV programs and personalities was chosen under the leadership of Niklas Baarli.
Comedian Herman Flesvig (30) has had enormous success with the NRK series «First-time service». Tonight he walked away with one of the most generous prizes – Gullruten’s audience award – the only category where the Norwegian people get to vote for their TV favorite during Gullruten.
– This is an ego price. If there is anyone who did not need more self-confidence, it is me, he says jokingly on stage.
It was a happy Flesvig who met the press afterwards. He says that it means a lot to him to get such recognition.
– It will probably be to celebrate with nice people.
He shares the prize with family, friends and everyone who knows him.
– And the fans, he adds
One of the evening’s first prizes went to TV 2’s wild viewer success “Kompani Lauritzen”, which was named this year’s competition-driven reality series. Dag Otto Lauritzen (65) and Kristian Ødegård (48) have really shot the golden bird with the reality series.
– We are a bit like dog and cat, but then there is love at the bottom. I push him in some contexts, he also pushes me in other contexts, Lauritzen says about the friendship.
