Awards Ceremony & Golden Jubilee Gala
Wednesday, September 22nd, 7pm to 9.30pm, Concert Hall, KKL Lucerne
The red carpet will be rolled out on 22nd September at the Culture and Convention Center Lucerne (KKL) when the global television industry gathers for the presentation of the Rose d’Or Awards. The Awards Ceremony has been the highpoint of the Rose d’Or for 50 years. This year two of the best young hosts in the industry have been signed up for this event: German-Turkish Nazan Eckes and Ben Shephard from the UK.
Nazan Eckes (34) started her television career as a trainee at VIVA. In 1999, she moved to the German private broadcaster RTL and initially hosted the weather of the local magazine show «Guten Abend RTL». She hosted the dance show «Let’s Dance» with Hape Kerkeling in 2006 and 2007, and this year with Daniel Hartwig. She has had her own show with «Nazan – echt persönlich» starting this year. Nazan Eckes is also familiar with awards ceremonies, since she hosted the «Echo» awards in 2008.
Ben Shephard (35) has been a popular host on British television for over a decade. He started at MTV, and got his big break with Channel 4, where he presented Bigger Breakfast and launched T4, in 1998. Since then he has worked on high-profile shows for all the major broadcasters. For the last decade he was a regular host on GMTV and this month made his debut as anchor of live Uefa Champions League matches and co-presenter of «Goals On Sunday» on Sky.
For this year's Rose d’Or Festival, which will take place in Lucerne from 18th to 22nd September, 110 programs have been nominated in 11 categories. On the Golden Jubilee Awards night on 22nd September, the 11 Rose d’Or award winners will be revealed in the Culture and Convention Center Lucerne (KKL). Celebrities and high-profile personalities will hand over the awards, among them the former German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder, who will present the first Rose d'Or Social Award.
The awards ceremony is integrated into a show celebrating 50 years of television entertainment reflected through the history of Rose d’Or, a fast-moving journey through five decades of entertainment with videos and guests from the TV programmes that have transformed the world of television since the sixties as well as a special performance by Cirque du Soleil of a breathtaking hand balancing act.
