Beloved TV presenter and chef Maggie Beer AO has been awarded at the prestigious C21 International Format Awards in the UK.
The host of Maggie Beer’s Big Mission won the Best Host Of A Format beating the likes of Alan Cumming, Stephen Fry and Jimmy Kimmel.
“It was such a privilege to be given this opportunity by Artemis and the ABC to actually live the experience in an aged care home brave enough to show warts and all to establish a baseline and from there to show the Australian community at large what has been acceptable and yet what clearly isn’t. And most of all how to begin the journey of change to show the difference that is made to the happiness and well-being not only of the residents but the staff as well,” said Maggie Beer.
Celia Tait (pictured right) Managing Director / Executive Producer from Artemis Media and Roberta Allan (pictured left), Head of Programming, Acquisitions & Streaming, attended the ceremony.
Celia Tait said, “We are thrilled that Maggie is the well deserved recipient of this award. She is a trailblazer – and source of great inspiration to many across the country. With her extraordinary leadership she has put older Australians first and given them a voice.”
Chris Oliver-Taylor, ABC Chief Content Officer said, “We are thrilled for Maggie and just delighted that a legend of Australia takes out a global award. Showing yet again Australians punching above their weight with shows that have significant impact around the world.”
Banijay Rights CEO Cathy Payne also picked up this year’s Gold Award in recognition of her decades of service and contribution to the distribution business. “I am so honoured to receive this, but it’s really a team effort that includes the sales teams at Banijay Rights and the creative teams at Banijay Entertainment, in particular Lucas Green and James Townley, for creating formats that are able to travel the world,” Payne said.
“As well as being only the fifth woman and third Australian to receive the Gold Award, I was told I’m the first from the distribution side of the business. However, I always see distribution as a creative endeavour so I’m happy to see the growing role of distribution in the formats business acknowledged. … The past 18 months have been a challenge for everyone, after the streamer recalibration, economic woes and the impact of all the new digital platforms. Endurance would be an appropriate term.”
