On October 2, the Moscow
Musical Theatre hosted the awarding ceremony for the TEFI-2019 television prize
winners. Four prizes, including a prize in the category "Best TV
Film/Series", went to Boris Khlebnikov's series "The Ordinary Woman".
Orpheus statuettes as
"The Best Director of a TV Film/Series" were awarded to Boris
Khlebnikov, the creator of the series "The Ordinary Woman".
Anna Mikhalkova, who played a
major role in the series was recognized the best actress of the TV film/series.
The winners in the category
"TV Producer of the season" were the producers of the "The
Ordinary Woman" series - Valery Fedorovich
and Evgeny Nikishov.
Neither Boris Khlebnikov nor
Anna Mikhalkova could attend the awarding ceremony that evening, and, instead
of them, it was the crew of the film who appeared on the stage three times -
producers Valery Fedorovich, Yevgeny Nikishov and Albert Ryabyshev,
screenwriters Denis Utochkin and Maria Melenevskaya, and producer Alexander
Sysoev.
When accepting the award,
Valery Fedorovich noted that Mikhalkova has won many awards for her role in
this TV film, and TEFI was among the main ones. During the awarding ceremony,
Valery Fedorovich also announced that the shooting of the sequel to the series
"The Ordinary Woman", on which Boris Khlebnikov was working together
with Natalia Meshchaninova, will start in two weeks.
The winners of the contest
were awarded with a bronze statuette "Orpheus": a sculpture of a character from the ancient
Greek mythology, a singer and musician called Orpheus who tears his breasts and
plays on the strings of his soul.
