COLOGNE, Germany -- German commercial channels were all but shut out of this year's Adolf Grimme Prizes, one of the country's top television awards, with public stations sweeping the main categories. Die Hoffnung stirbt zuletzt (Hope Dies Last), a police thriller co-produced by pubcasters NDR and ARD, emerged as the big winner in Tuesday's announcements. The show took four gold prizes: for best actor (Axel Prahl), actress (Kim Sarnau) director (Marc Rothemund) and script (Fred Breinersdorfer). German comedy stars Anke Engelke and Olli Dittrich were honored with gold Grimme awards for their performances in the telefilm Blind Date: Taxi nach Schweinau (Blind Date: Taxi to Schweinau) for public channel ZDF. The awards will be presented at a ceremony March 21 in the western German city of Marl.
