the awards of the seventh edition of the
GOLDEN GRAAL
(Students’ Choice Award)
was assigned
The beautiful setting of
Hotel Bernini, right in the heart of
Rome and a few steps from
Via Veneto, hosted the seventh edition of the
Golden Graal Award. The Award is directed by
Marco Spagnoli &
Pina Traini, conceived by
Paolo Monaci Freguglia, produced by
G.G. International Association,
Polifemo and
Antibemusic, in collaboration with
Ugo Bentivegna as executive producer for
Fattore K., and with the contribution of the
Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Forestry.
The
Golden Graal Award, was born in 2005 to celebrate the talent of young people who work in the show business. This year the awards ceremony was not held in one of the historical theaters of Rome because a different choice was made. In fact, they were given during a private dinner together with the candidates, in perfect harmony with the harsh climate caused by the culture cuts and the uncertainty the sector is experiencing. Nonetheless, the purpose of the
Golden Graal Award remained the celebration of the talent and merit of the young Italian stars within the
show business.
As always, Special Awards were assigned too. As in the past years,
Ottaviani Argenti was the official supplier of the prizes:
Piera Degli Esposti – SPECIAL AWARD “CINEMA IS THEATRE”
Giuliano Montaldo – SPECIAL CARRIER AWARD
Esther Elisha – SPECIAL AWARD “RISING STAR” CINEMA
Freaks – SPECIAL AWARD “RISING STAR” WEB FICTION
Andrea Chiodi – SPECIAL AWARD “RISING STAR” THEATRE
Giovanni Scifoni – SPECIAL AWARD “RISING STAR” THEATRE
