It’s time tonight: that Golden TV Ring Ceremony. The Dutch media scene comes together to discover which program will win the prestigious Golden Televizier Ring. This year he makes the series Eyeballs A chance to win a prize. It has been nine years since a fantasy series won the award. Is it time for a separate category?
Maastricht policemen The last fantasy series to win the Gold Seal was in 2014. Since then, a number of fantasy series have been nominated, but documentaries, reality series and current affairs programs have always won the award.
The Golden Televizier Ring is an audience award, meaning viewers can vote for the winner themselves. However, it is remarkable that The Ring has not turned into a fantasy series in years, while streaming has become extremely popular in recent years. Do fantasy series have a fair chance among current events programs, for example, that touch the viewer on a daily basis?
According to Jeroen de Goeij, the event’s organizer, each type has an equal chance of winning the ring. “This award is about the connection that voters feel with a particular programme. This can be fiction or reality. In addition, we are already asking the Dutch public to vote in seven categories, which we believe is sufficient.”
Willem Zijlstra, ITV’s head of drama, believes it’s a bit like comparing apples and oranges in the best TV programme. However, he does not call for a separate category for fantasy series. “It’s actually powerful that there’s only one award to be won for Best Program.”
This year, too, a fantasy series will compete with two very different types of programming. Eyeballs It is the direct opposite B&B full of love And Orange summer.
In addition to the TV Gold Ring, there are also other awards to be won during the ceremony, such as the TV Ring for Best Presenter and the TV Ring for Best Actor. The organization previously decided not to award awards separately to men and women, making way for a new category: Televizier-Ring Impact. The program won this award last year angry, Which presented an episode about violations in Voice of the Netherlands. Made this year Buy without looking, Undercover in the Netherlands And a farewell party for Rob de Nijs with a chance to win an Impact Award.
