The Gouden Televizier-Ring Gala is partly being overhauled. The Best Presenter and Presenter categories will be merged into one award. A new award, the Televizier-Ster Impact, will also be created during the upcoming edition. The organization announced this on Tuesday.
By our entertainment editorsThe Televizier Stars for best presenter and presenter have been awarded in its current form since 2000. Earlier, the editors already chose to merge the prizes for best actor and best actress.
The Impact Prize is awarded to a TV program that has caused a stir in Dutch society in the past year. “Television is an indispensable source of entertainment and information,” says Jeroen de Goeij, editor-in-chief of the Gouden Televizier-Ring election.
“But sometimes something really special happens. Then a program touches a sensitive chord with the viewing public, it puts a subject back on the agenda or a much-needed discussion arises that helps Dutch society move forward. We now call the Televizier for all those programs. -Star Impact in Life.”
Which ten programs qualify for the new award will be announced later. According to Televizier, it does not matter what kind of program it is or where it can be seen.
This year’s Gouden Televizier-Ring Gala will take place on 6 October at the Royal Theater Carré in Amsterdam. The polls for the public awards will open on August 16.
