(red
carpet from 8pm)
at the Bernini Hotel in Rome
the awards of the seventh edition of the
GOLDEN GRAAL
(Students’ Choice Award)
will be assigned
by the Students of the drama
schools.
The beautiful setting of Hotel Bernini, right in the heart of Rome
and a few steps from Via Veneto, will
host 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 producerfor Fattore K., andwith 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 will not be held in
one of the historical theaters of Rome
because a different choice was made. In fact, they will be 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
remains the celebration of the talent and merit of the young Italian stars within
the show business.
As always, Special Awards will be assigned too. As in
the past years, Ottaviani Argenti is
the official supplier of the prizes:
