Because the gala in the Hofburg could not take place this year due to the corona crisis, the porters were presented on television as part of a surprise show.
The winners of the “Kurier Romy” were presented for the 31st time on Saturday evening. Because the traditional gala in the Hofburg could not take place due to the corona crisis, the winners of the prestigious film and television awards were presented as part of a surprise show designed for television. Heike Makatsch and Fritz Karl received awards.
Moderator Andi Knoll surprised the winners with the coveted trophies before the show. The moments captured with the camera were shown on ORF 2 on Saturday. The most popular actress in the film category was Heike Makatsch (“I’ve never been to New York”). “In the middle of these idle times, I have started to move again,” said Makatsch. As a thank you, the touched actress serenaded and the only political message of the evening. “If we don’t rethink radically, the ecological crisis will probably become an ecological disaster. Let’s not go back to normal. Save this planet!” Makatsch appealed in a video message.
Fritz Karl was voted the most popular actor in the film category by the audience. “Thank you so much, I’m really speechless,” said the obviously surprised Karl when his wife Elena Uhlig announced the good news to him.
“Soko Kitzbühel” star Jakob Seeböck was surprised by Knoll on his mountain bike excursion with the Romy for the “Most Popular Actor Series”. Ursula Strauss (“Wiping is power”) was awarded the trophy for the fifth time. She accepted the Romy in the “Most Popular Actress Series” series. “I am stunned, touched and delighted endlessly,” said the actress with tears of joy after Knoll presented the statuette to her during a sham interview for the ORF regional studio in Lower Austria. She is not used to winning: “It is such a nice thank you from the audience every time.”
Information price for Pötzelsberger
The freshly baked “Zeit im Bild 1” moderator Tobias Pötzelsberger received the audience award in the “Information” category. “I can’t believe it. But it is obviously true, it feels very real,” said the ORF presenter. Servus TV presenter Andreas Moravec (Quizmaster) also received his first Romy in the “Show / Entertainment” category, for whom “a very big dream” came true.
The academy’s best young actors were also announced as part of the program: actress Noelia Chirazi was honored for her role in Barbara Eden’s TV feature “Wiener Blut” and Maximilian Mundt, leading actor in the Netflix series “How to sell drugs online ( nearly)”.
Ibiza video as “TV moment of the year”
The Ibiza video was chosen as the “TV moment of the year”, the “TV event of the year” “The Masked Singer” and the best program idea “The Followers”. Other Academy awards that had not been announced in advance included the Academy Award for “The Perfect Secret” and the Jury Award for the Fanta 4 documentary “Who Are 4”.
The Academy Platinum Romys went to “Bibi Blocksberg” and “Benjamin Blümchen” inventor Elfie Donnelly and to Rudolf Klingohr, founder of the production company Interspot. The platinum romy for life’s work is given by the hit duo Conny Froboess and Peter Kraus. They will receive the award as part of the Romy gala next year, which is set to take place again on April 24, 2021 as the usual glamorous award.
