Goldene Kamera
The Goldene Kamera ("Golden Camera") is an annual German film and television award, awarded by the Funke Mediengruppe. The award show was usually held in early February in Hamburg, but also took place in Berlin on occasion. It has been paused since 2019, after dropping the traditional award categories some time earlier.
The award was first presented in 1966 as a strictly German television award. Since 1987, it has also been awarded to international stars. In 1995, the categories expanded to pop groups and to more public interest categories.[citation needed]
In 2017, the award show was pranked by German comedians Joko Winterscheidt and Klaas Heufer-Umlauf, who arranged for a Ryan Gosling impersonator to be awarded the "Best International Film" prize for La La Land. Following the event, a speaker for television broadcaster ZDF asked for the trophy to be given back, stating that La La Land had won the prize and that the trophy would be given to the real Ryan Gosling. The incident, which became known as "GoslingGate", sparked criticism of the event's concept. Media critics argued that the "Best International Film" award had only been created in an effort to get Gosling on the show, with no regards for the film's quality. In 2018, Winterscheidt and Heufer-Umlauf were awarded the Grimme Award for their media criticism.
In 2019, a Climate Action Award was given to Greta Thunberg. In September 2019, Funke Mediengruppe announced the end of the traditional award for 2020. Due to a change in media consumption preferences of their audience in the course of digitization, the manager of Funke's magazine division said that the group would instead focus on digital content like the YouTube Goldene Kamera Digital Award.[citation needed] The YouTube Goldene Kamera Digital Awards were held from 2017 until 2020. The final main Goldene Kamera awards ceremony was planned to be awarded on 21 March 2020 with Thomas Gottschalk as presenter. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the event in March 2020 was cancelled. It was rescheduled initially for 12 November 2020, and later again to an unspecified date.
Over the decades, the award show maintained a set of recurring traditional categories, with slight variations in naming depending on the year.
A core award of the gala, honouring outstanding male acting performances in German television and film.
Parallel to the actor award, given to female performers in German productions.
Awarded to international stars, especially from film and television industries abroad.
