Title: Monte Carlo Int'l TV Festival honours Grundy, TPIR
Post by: Blaq on July 10, 2003, 12:42:09 PM
Two game show-related items came out of the Monte Carlo International Television Festival, roughly the equivalent of the movies' Cannes Festival.

The Festival awarded Reg Grundy with a special award, presented by H.S.H. Crown Prince Albert, for his life's work. (http://www.tvfestival.com/engl/139.php)

And legendary game show The Price Is Right won the Golden Nymph trophy, presumably winning its nominated category of \"International Format Masterpiece Award\" (http://www.tvfestival.com/engl/143.php) -- nominees were all game shows!

[indent]Family Feud
Jeopardy
The Dating Game
The Price Is Right
Wheel Of Fortune[/indent]

International Format of the Year Award nominees were also heavy on game shows:

[indent]Big Brother
Changing Rooms
Faking It
Idols
Popstars  
Russian Roulette
Survivor
The Big Class Reunion
The Weakest Link
Who Wants To Be A Millionaire [/indent]
