Moderator Katrin Bauerfeind moderated the event. She opened the evening with a thematically appropriate song: “Finally again film award”. Actor Ulrich Tukur also played music during his laudatory speech. Without further ado, he sang about the nominees for best supporting actress, accompanying himself on the accordion.
A video message came from Wladimir Klitschko. Ex-boxer and brother of Kiev Mayor Vitali Klitschko introduced the category for “Best Documentary”. He encouraged the “soldiers of truth” to continue their work and record war crimes. Afterwards, laudator Sandra Maischberger spoke live with the Ukrainian filmmaker Marina Stepanska, who also thanked her for her solidarity.
The federal government is providing prize money of almost three million euros for the “Lolas”. ARD broadcasts the show with a time delay in the evening.
