Although the visitors to the Bavarian TV Prize 2020 could not expect a gala, there were still worthy winners in Munich.
Almost half a year late, the Bavarian TV Prize 2020 was awarded on Wednesday (October 14) in Munich. The awarding of the Blue Panther by Digital Minister Judith Gerlach (34) took place in the Kaisersaal of the Munich Residenz – due to the corona pandemic, hardly anything of the usual glamor could be seen or felt this year. Still, you made the most of it.
Above all: Carolin Reiber (79). The television presenter, who has already led through the "Popular Hit Parade" or the "Grand Prix of Folk Music", among other things, was delighted to receive the honorary award from the Bavarian Prime Minister. Markus Söder (53) had already presented her with the Blue Lion on Tuesday because he was unable to be present on the day of the award ceremony due to the Corona summit in Berlin.
Award winners from entertainment, information and culture
In addition to the honorary award of the Bavarian Prime Minister, twelve other prizes were awarded. Aylin Tezel (36) was honored as the best actor for her role in "The Club of Singing Butchers". The ARD film also received the Blue Panther for best music. Felix Klare (42) accepted the award as the best actor. Not only the actor was able to shine in the ARD drama "Because you belong to me", the script by Katrin Bühlig (53) was also convincing. Pia Strietmann (42, "Finally a widower") was honored for the best directorial performance.
Thilo Mischke (39) was able to triumph in the "Information" category with his ProSieben report "Germans on the ISIS Front". As the best youth series, RTLzwei was awarded a Blue Panther for "We are now". The BR cooking show "Landfrauenküche" and the 3sat format "Pufpaffs Happy Hour" convinced in the "Entertainment" category. In the "Culture and Education" category, the VOX program "Childhood under the Swastika – 80 Years of the Second World War" and the ZDF production "A Day in Auschwitz" were ahead. The young talent award went to Emma Bading (22) for her performance in the ARD film "Play".
