On behalf of the cast, Ahmed El Gendy, the film director, described the value of this award saying: “It is great and important for this genre to be acknowledged among other genres on such an important stage as this.” When we mention Comedians, we just remember movies or series with a slight highlight of TV shows. However, when we say Comedians and TV shows, Ramez Galal immediately jump on our minds. He received a special award for being always on track for his prank TV shows, especially last year's Ramez Aqlahu Tar and 2020's Ramez Majnun Rasmi. With his funny spirit, he received the award from “Turki Al sheikh” who kiddingly said: “we have nothing to do, the audience said their word when his show became the most watching” Lastly, Ramez revealed his deepest desire to have the greatest Mohammed Abdu in his next prank and gave the credit of this award to his beloved son.

Ladies have shinned as usual that night apparently and intellectually. The prettiest sharp vocal cords Assala Nasri won Most Favourite Female Artist despite being the least at releasing new albums among other pop stars, but her fan base is growing effortlessly whenever she appears. The soft beauty icon Nancy Ajram won Most Favourite Song for her track “Salamat”.
