EA quiz show by the entertainer Joko Winterscheidt and a report on corona intensive care patients received the Grimme Prize. On Tuesday, the jury announced that a total of 19 prizes and honors had been awarded.
Grimme director Frauke Gerlach said of the award for the Pro-Sieben format “Who is stealing the show?”: “Joko Winterscheidt relinquishes control. That’s what makes it exciting.” In the quiz show, contestants can take on the role of quiz master. “It is remarkable that creativity in the entertainment sector was able to successfully break up the oppressive everyday life in media reporting during the pandemic,” praised the jury.
The also honored report “Charité intensive: Station 43” (RBB) about the Corona winter 2020/21 in a Berlin intensive care unit had a completely different connection to the pandemic. “‘Charité intensive’ preserves a piece of everyday hospital life during a pandemic that is not at all everyday. And, by the way, tells stories of true heroes.”
The Grimme Awards will be presented on August 26th in the Marl Theater. Katrin Eigendorf (ZDF) received the award for “Special Journalistic Achievement” for her “excellent reporting on the situation of women and girls in Afghanistan,” according to the Grimme jury. The entertainer and comedian Anke Engelke received a special honor from the award sponsor of the German Adult Education Association (DVV). Engelke keeps holding up a mirror to us “with her unique irony,” said DVV President Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer, according to the manuscript.
The broadcasting concept of “Am Limit?! Now we’re talking!” (HR) put children and young people in the foreground and let them talk about their personal experiences and limitations in the corona pandemic, according to the jury. Christine Rütten and Petra Boberg were awarded the special prize for this concept. From more than 760 submissions, the Grimme Institute nominated 74 contributions for the award. The award has been presented annually since 1964.
