2012 Romy Awards (Austrian Film/TV) – winners


The Austrian newspaper Kurier held their 2012 Kurier Romy Awards for film and television last night at the Hofburg Palace in Vienna. Among the guests was Canadian actor Jason Priestley.

Til Schweiger's romantic comedy Kokowääh came out on top with two prizes. It won for Best Picture and Best Director. "Kokowääh" is the German transliteration of how they would try to say "coq au vin."

The profile of the boxing champion brothers Klitschko also claimed two awards. It won for Best Documentary and Best Documentary Producer.

While Der Mann mit dem Fagott (The Man with the Bassoon) won for Best TV-Film, the only multiple winner for television was Das Wunder von Kärnten (The Miracle of Carinthia). It won for Best Writing and Producer.

A Platinum-Romy for Lifetime Achievement was presented to underwater filmmakers and documentarians Hans and Lotte Hass.
