Overview
- The 77th ceremony took place on November 13 at Bavaria Filmstudios in Grünwald near Munich and was available to watch free on Prime Video.
- Cate Blanchett received Actress International for artistic excellence and for humanitarian and environmental engagement, saying artists’ voices are more important than ever in very dark times.
- Cher accepted a Legend Bambi and said she sees herself as a working, strong woman rather than a legend.
- Thomas Gottschalk’s laudation line that Cher was “the only woman I have taken seriously all my life” drew boos and criticism in the hall.
- Honors also went to Heidi Klum (Entertainment), Roland Kaiser (lifetime), Michael “Bully” Herbig (jury prize), Hazel Brugger (Comedy) and Paul Ronzheimer (Podcast), with Tokio Hotel performing and extensive red-carpet focus on international guests.
