Karel Gott wins TýTý television popularity awards

The annual TýTý television popularity awards were held on Saturday night; singer Karel Gott took the overall award and the prize for most popular male singer. The latter result is hardly a surprise, as Mr Gott has never failed to take away the trophy for most popular singer in the 19-year history of the poll. He has also won the overall prize 8 times since 1991. 30-year-old Lucie Vondráčková took the award for most popular female singer, while the acting awards went to the stars of the series Ulice, Rudolf Hrušínský and Hana Maciuchová. The most popular programme was Czech Television’s “Všechnopárty” talk show. The winners of the TýTý awards are selected by viewers via text messages and the internet.
