The actress was awarded an honorary award. Iris Berben came to the Jupiter Awards ceremony with her partner – at whose side she outshone everyone.
The 46th Jupiter Awards ceremony took place in Hamburg on Wednesday – Germany's largest audience award, which is presented by the magazines “Cinema” and “TV Spielfilm”. This year, actress Iris Berben was awarded the honorary prize at the gala in Altonaer Kaispeicher on the Elbe.
For this occasion, the 73-year-old did not walk the red carpet alone. She came accompanied by her partner Heiko Kiesow, at whose side she outshone everyone in her glamorous look. Iris Berben wore an ankle-length, high-necked dress that was decorated all over with gold sequins. Her partner had chosen a classic dark suit with a white shirt.
Since 2007, the stuntman and stunt coordinator, who is ten years his junior, has been the man at the acting star's side. They met while filming “Africa, mon amour”. Although both work in the film industry, joint appearances are rare. Heiko Kiesow obviously didn't want to miss this special moment. He was sitting in the audience when Iris Berben accepted her honorary Jupiter, which recognized her for her brilliance in more than 150 TV and cinema productions.
Other award winners of the evening
The other award winners of the evening included the actors Bjarne Mädel, Anja Kling, Lisa Maria Potthoff and Langston Uibel. In addition, the teams from the ZDF series “SOKO Leipzig”, the ARD film “My Girlfriend Volker” and the hit film “Girl You Know It's True” were awarded the audience award for the best series, the best television film and the best cinema film been.
Around 100 invited guests from the film and media industry celebrated with the winners at an exclusive dinner. The show was hosted by Steven Gätjen. The undoped award is presented by the magazines “Cinema” and “TV Spielfilm” in twelve categories to outstanding actors and film projects. Readers were able to vote for their favorites online for a year. According to the information, around 640,000 votes were cast this time – that was the largest voter turnout in years.
