Shine, prices and a lot of honor for Otto: On Wednesday, the gala rises to the German television award in Cologne. The makers want to “reflect the entire range of television”.
A large TV gala will be announced in Cologne on Wednesday evening in Cologne. The show, which is again moderated by Barbara Schöneberger, can be seen on ZDF from 8:15 p.m. It will “reflect the entire range of television”, as it said in an announcement. It is already known who will be honored for his life’s work this year: comedian Otto Waalkes (77) should get the honorary award. It is planned that he personally accepts the award.
Just one day before the gala, the organizers awarded the first prizes at the “Night of Creative” on Tuesday evening. The awards for services for services behind the camera were presented here in a smaller ceremony. Pia Strietmann was honored in the “Best Director” category for the “Herrhausen – the Lord of the Money”. Bilal Bahadır received a prize for “best book fiction” for the “Uncivilized” series. Dietrich Krauss, Maike Kühl, Max Uthoff, Doris Müller and Cornelius Oettle were able to look forward to an award in the “Best Book Entertainment” category (“Die Anstalt – Friends of the Patriarchate”).
Reality duel: Heidi Klum against Tom Kaulitz
On the list of nominations, the drama series “Surf Berlin” (ZDF/Apple TV+) was able to obtain most of the matters this year. She plays in a chronically under -financed hospital where doctors fight for the survival of patients and against their own overload.
There is an interesting constellation in the “Best Entertainment” category: Model Heidi Klum comes up with her ProSieben Show “Germany’s Next Top Model”, among other things, against her own husband Tom Kaulitz, who goes into the race with the Netflix documentary “Kaulitz & Kaulitz”.
Klums Model format already won on Tuesday in the “Best Equipment” category: Katrin Hampus (set design), Arkin Atacan (light) and Mathias Blank (Requisite) were honored with a prize.
The German television award is carried by ARD, RTL, Sat.1, ZDF and Deutsche Telekom. The leadership changes year after year. In 2025 it is for the first time with MagentaTV. The offer from Telekom works with the ZDF during implementation.
