Germany’s Bambi Awards recognise stars of the stage, screen and playing field, as well as charitable causes
National and international celebrities including actor Orlando Bloom, footballer Mesut Ozil and singer Beth Ditto took home Germany’s most coveted media prizes, known as the “Bambi Awards.”
A UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador since 2009, Lord of the Rings star Bloom won the Bambi Charity Award this week for his humanitarian work with children in some of the world’s poorest regions.
“He always makes time to travel to distant countries so he can draw attention to the destitution faced by children and the work done by charities,” the jury said, explaining its decision.
The Bambi Awards are Germany’s most important media prizes and have been awarded every year since 1948 to “people with vision and creativity, whose outstanding successes and achievements have been reported in the media.”
But it was Germany’s football heroes who stole the show, hosted by Sex and the City star Sarah Jessica Parker near Berlin this week.
Turkish-born Real Madrid footballer Ozil was hailed as a prime example of successful integration into German society and won the prize in the “Integration” category.
“This is a great honour for me and I’m very happy,” he said. “Integration creates something new and makes for a more colourful Germany.”
Singer Shakira presented the German national football coach Joachim Loew and his team with the jury’s “Special Prize” for their performance at the World Cup in South Africa earlier this year, where Germany claimed third place.
Explaining its decision, the jury said: “German football has never been so young — and it has seldom been as passionate and innovative as it was during the World Cup in South Africa.”
National trainer Andreas Koepke said the award was a “lucky charm” for the German national side’s next big challenge — winning the European Championships.
Other members of the star-studded audience to be awarded a prize included U.S. singer Beth Ditto, who bagged the prize for “Pop International,” and British environmental activist Jane Goodall, who picked up the “Our Earth” award for her ongoing campaigns to protect the environment and endangered species.
