Der ÖSTERREICHISCHE FILMPREIS 2015

Its a wrap.
The Austrian Movie Awards 2015 are history.
Starting with obvious favorites on to finding "Mundls" Iphone on his empty seat it was a very nice experience and i want to thank ANNA SPANLANG for giving me the opportunity -again- to be part of it!

My Friend Hannah an myself attended the Austrian movie awards last wednesday at the RATHAUS in Vienna.
A beautiful and better location then last year. Who ever has been tot he Rathaus will agree that its probably on of the three best locations to host a Gala.

The 5th Austrian Movie Awards celebrated their "Kindergarten" birthday as the host of the evening KARL MARKOVICS described it.
Humorous as always he led through the evening provoking mr Andreas Mailath-Pokorny (City councillor for cultural affairs) and confronting him to give more sponsored space to people in Film such as studios, offices etc and causing the audience to laugh no only about his kinda funny but not Joke about two goats eating the script of a play. (he brought that one last year as well ;) )

Anyhow it was a great evening - Dressecode Black for almost every guest (which i specially was very happy to see) - with grand talents and talented people.
After wondering around the empty seats looking for the afterparty my friend hannah spotted a "Iphone". It turned out to belong to Karl Merkatz. Who? Well better knows the actor behind the cult figure "Mundl" - no i cant describe what or who "Mundl" is because you would not understand it anyway. sorry but not sorry.
