Stars and Events: -
Hugh Jackman (49) is awarded a Bambi. The Australian actor, singer and filmmaker received the media award in the "Entertainment" category, Hubert Burda Media said on Thursday. The Bambi jury highlights Jackman's versatility - from dramatic stuff like "Australia" to thrillers like "Password: Swordfish" to the musical adaptation "Les Misérables". "He is not only one of the world's most popular actors, but also a great entertainer," the jury said. The 49-year-old is supposed to receive the prize personally at this year's Bambi-award ceremony in Berlin on 16 November, as a spokeswoman said. The gold-shining trophies in the form of a fawn will be awarded this year for the 69th time, the first will broadcast the gala live from the Theater am Potsdamer Platz from 8:15 pm.

It looks like the reporter of the news is not aware that Hugh Jackman is also an excellent performer/actor on stage and has also shown his entertainment skills in awards shows.



History of the BAMBI Awards in Berlin ( awards originated in 1948) --

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bambi_Award

Excerpts --

The Bambi,[1] often simply called Bambi Awards and stylised as BAMBI, are presented annually by Hubert Burda Media to recognize excellence in international media and television, awarded to personalities in the media, arts, culture, sports and other fields "with vision and creativity who affected and inspired the German public that year," both domestic and foreign. First held in 1948, they are the oldest media awards in Germany. The award is named after Felix Salten's book Bambi, A Life in the Woods and its statuettes are in the shape of the novel's titular fawn character.[2] They were originally made of porcelain, until 1958 when the organizers switched to using gold, with the casting done by the art casting workshop of Ernst Strassacker in Süßen.

Frequent awardees include Heinz Rühmann (12), Peter Alexander and O. W. Fischer (10), Sophia Loren (9), Maria Schell (8). Rock Hudson (6), Franz Beckenbauer, Pierre Brice (5) and Céline Dion (3).[3]...

CONGRATULATIONS to Hugh Jackman for this international recognition !

The gold-shining trophies in the form of a fawn will be awarded this year for the 69th time, the first will broadcast the gala live from the Theater am Potsdamer Platz from 8:15 pm.

If I am not mistaken, isn't this the same place where LOGAN had its world wide premiere at the Berlin Film Festival in February 2017?


Yup!

Claudia Schiffer! She is married to Matthew Vaughn ( who produced EDDIE THE EAGLE and directed XMen:First Class), so it is likely that she and Hugh already know each other. She was a German supermodel many years ago.

The first time Hugh wore a less conventional suit ( see print and texture) was when singing at the 2013 Oscars -- please expand photo.

A lot of social media comments on how dashing he looks...and that he would make a good film James Bond!

“Entertainment” award goes to Hugh Jackman

Hugh Jackman will receive the “Entertainment” BAMBI (c) Ben Watts

He is one of Hollywood’s most versatile stars, and on 16 November 2017, Hugh Jackman will receive the “Entertainment” BAMBI in honour of his talents as an actor, singer and film producer.


“For many years, Hugh Jackman has inspired millions of fans in a huge range of genres, from dramas such as ‘Australia’ to thrillers like ‘Swordfish’, the legendary musical ‘Les Misérables’ and the highly praised films ‘Logan’”, the BAMBI jury explain. “Not only is he one of the world’s most popular actors, he is also a fantastic entertainer who has hosted the US Tony awards on multiple occasions as well as the 2009 Oscar® ceremony. An extremely charming presenter, he surprised the audience with interludes of singing and dancing and has appeared in his own shows on Broadway, for example.”

Jackman began his international film career in 2000 in the big screen adaptation of Marvel’s “X-Men” comic series. His charismatic presence and acting gifts made “Wolverine” one of the most popular characters in the superhero franchise, with two subsequent spin-offs also produced by Jackman. Further successes included “The Wolverine” and “Logan”. Jackman received a Tony for his starring role in the Broadway musical “The Boy from Oz”, while his dramatic role as Jean Valjean in the film version of “Les Misérables” earned him an Oscar® nomination and a Golden Globe.

His new film “The Greatest Showman” will hit cinemas on 4 January 2018. His role as visionary circus founder P.T. Barnum, who invented modern show business in New York back in the mid-19th century, is the perfect vehicle for Jackman’s talents as an actor, singer, entertainer and producer.

BAMBI, Germany’s most important media award and one of the biggest events in the social calendar, will take place on 16 November 2017 for the 69th time. Television channel “Das Erste” will broadcast the gala live from Berlin’s Theater am Potsdamer Platz at 20:15.

His excellent work in drama ( Prisoners, The Prestige, and The Fountain) is also a major reason why his versatility is well-established!

If, like me, you just can't get enough of the purple velvet!

[jo]

Ralph Lauren must have been inspired to have designed a suit ( with the color meant for and can only be worn by royalty in the distant past) for the BAMBI award for the field of ENTERTAINMENT!

I guess with Hugh portraying many roles from history and fiction, that was not exactly eye-popping

He was such a peacock as Blackbeard, a fighting Conquistador, a well-heeled Monsieur Le Maire, a long-haired leather-clad Monster fighter, an aristocratic Magician, and a dashing Duke of Albany!

And soon -- the richest red color as The Greatest Showman

He has also worn the most colorful Hawiian shirts - pineapples, anyone

Although he still has to wear the suit worn by someone born some 150 years ago ( not sure exactly when) - yellow spandex
