- Story Text: U.S. singer Anastacia and Australian actress Cate Blanchett were among international stars honoured in Berlin on Tuesday (February 05) at the 37th Golden Camera gala ceremony.
Blanchett, star of 'Bandits' and 'The Shipping News' was in Germany for the Wednesday (February 06) opening of the Berlin Film Festival - and she used the opportunity to practise her German.
The 37th Golden Camera Awards ceremony on Tuesday night (February 05) was attended by around 1,000 guests from the world of show business and politics.
Hundreds of stars from the German media and music scene walked down a 100 metre long red carpet outside the Berlin Concert House in central Berlin's Gendarmenmarkt square.
Traditionally, the awards from a German TV guide (Hoerzu) to honour stars of film and television are presented one day before the start of the international Berlin Film Festival, Berlinale. The awards a jury is made up from magazine staff.
This year's winners included Anastacia - for 'Best International Song' and Cate Blanchett, who was honoured in the 'Best International Film' category for her role in 'Heaven'. The Tom Twykers helmed film offically opens the 52nd Berlinale. It is an Italian-German production that deals sympathetically with a woman who plants a bomb in a high rise building - made before the September attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon put the world on alert.
In her acceptance speech Blanchett paid tribute to the late Polish director Krzysztof Kieslowski - the opening film 'Heaven,' in which she stars, is based on a screenplay by him.
The Golden Camera in the 'Music' category went to Italian tenor Andrea Boccelli. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
