Actor Jiří Macháček announces the award for the best TV movie or miniseries. Suspicion by director Michal Blašek, a psychological drama about a nurse accused of the death of a patient, wins this.
Blaško, a thirty-three-year-old native of Bratislava, is the first to thank, mentioning screenwriter Štěpán Hulík, who approached him while still at school. “I would like to thank Czech Television, which stood behind us. It was clear in advance that we would not break all viewership records with this project, but television was about quality, and that is especially valuable today,” he emphasizes.
Producer Pavla Janoušková Kubečková thanks the concessionaires of Czech Television. “When I joined FAMU, there were almost no female producers around me. One teacher told us that girls are good producers until their thirties, before they have children. I am very happy that things have changed so dramatically over the past fifteen years and I see a whole generation of extremely talented female producers who have talent, dramaturgical sense, courage, they are not afraid of it at all, and I hope that they will completely master it here in a few years,” says Janoušková Kubečková, receiving applause. “They bring more than ego and competition to the film industry, but rather empathy, belonging and cooperation. And that’s what we all need in the film world,” he adds.
