First of all, it was time, in Portugal, there is a prize worthy of that distinguished who does enrich our culture. I welcome the Portuguese Society of Authors and RTP have created it and have it delivered at a gala worthy (resisting the temptation to transform a frivolous party Jet 7). But one thing that confused me: As the prize for the authors, Mario Laginha and Vitorino de Almeida (for example), authors of the winning compositions, sat in the audience. Despite this irony, was a breath of fresh air in the Portuguese cultural scene and a good incentive to those who, against all odds, to fight for culture in this country still uneducated. It remains only to say that the gala by Catarina Furtado told with beautiful musical performances Rui Veloso, Pedro Abrunhosa, Deolinda and Aziza Mustafa Zadeh. 20 awards were handed grouped in eight areas: film, radio, dance, music, literature, theater, television and visual arts, and two special awards. Here is the list of nominees and their most worthy winners (in red):

Unfortunately, even the sp like the authors have already moved television. Poor authors!!
I do not consider this a problem Afonso, because I think you should give visibility to the authors, provided they treat them with dignity. The model in question is another: Taking the Film category as an example, where are the directors and screenwriters, and real authors of a fundamental movie? I think there is much to improve, but the initiative is commendable. Thanks for your comment. Always go back ...
Best Programming Municipal, Cascais ... Does the fact that the young Letria already been alderman of the portfolio of such a culture has something to do? Hum ...
Yes, sir.
It seems lie, these things happen in Portugal.
Hummmmmm
It should come out there some ... ... ... ....
I'm just surprised by the simple fact that Portugal was beginning to give recognition to Portuguese artists.
Especially in some areas that until recently, were not even recognized as such.
Well this is better than nothing, anyway.
Hugs and keep up the good work.
