"Silver galosh" - and laughter, and sin

For many years in a row, the ironic award "Silver Galosha" has been riveted to the screens by millions of spectators and thousands of radio listeners. This is a humorous and satirical ceremony at the same time, which is awarded "for the most dubious achievements in the world of show business."

History of occurrence

For the first time in Russia they began to encourage celebrities who distinguished themselves not in the best light on the radio "Silver Rain". Officially, the prize was registered on behalf of the radio station in 1996. Since then, the stars have been very difficult not to fall into the nomination of a shameful award. "Silver Kolosha" is designed to ridicule, but not to offend the distinguished. At the same time, not everyone can adequately perceive criticism. Someone calmly tolerates shame and laughs with jokes about failures, while others are constantly suing with the organizers.

origin of name

First of all, it is worth noting that the second word in the title of the nomination is taken from the well-known expression "to sit down in galosh." In the people it is used to denote failure, defeat, failure. The expression "put in galoshu" means a deliberate desire to put someone in an embarrassing or ridiculous position.

And silver was called galosh most likely in honor of the radio-creator "Silver rain". A similar prize exists in the USA and is called "Golden Raspberry". It is awarded for the most unsuccessful cinematographic tapes.

Features

The Silver Galosh ceremony is a closed event, which can only be accessed by invitation. But any listener of the radio "Silver Rain" has the opportunity to get a free ticket, which is played every year before the ceremony. The remaining wishing can watch the life of stars from the TV screens. Most often the event is broadcast on the leading Russian channels: Channel One, STS, Ren TV.

The Silver Galosh Award has one more distinctive feature. All its nominations change from year to year and are practically not repeated. Only one remains unchanged - "Plagiarism of the Year". Thanks to this approach, the ceremony will never lose its relevance.

In the hall of the building, where the celebration takes place, an interesting installation is exhibited. It is not placed photographs of the stars, who won the nominations more often. They are Philip Kirkorov, Nikolai Baskov, Tina Kandelaki, Dima Bilan, Anastasia Volochkova.

Loud scandals. Precedent No. 1

The presentation of the "Silver galoshes" is often accompanied by loud scandals. But the most famous are three of them, whose cases reached the court. The first offended maiden was the TV presenter Olga Rodionova. In 2009 she was awarded a victory in the nomination "Naked and funny." The reason was the book published on the eve with Olga's candid photos. The book of Olga. As the TV presenter admits, the release was intended for foreign collectors and connoisseurs of beauty.

The court won and even received compensation in the amount of 20 thousand rubles.

Scandal number 2

Nominations of the "Silver Galoshes" amaze their unpredictability. One of them seriously offended Anna Chapman in 2011. The girl was nominated for a prize for her hidden activities. The position was called "Promotion of the Year". But her deserved statuette never received, giving primacy to Vasily Kiselyov "For Charity Fund."

And the story with Chapman began like this. In 2011, she worked undercover in the US and conducted an espionage investigation. The activity was made public, and a serious scandal broke out. Chapman's lawyers sent an angry letter to the main producer of the show with demands to stop joking with Anna, because in this way they ridiculed serious and serious work abroad.

Scandal number 3

The third loud precedent happened in the same 2011. The "Silver galoshes" appeared to be yielding. This time the hero was Alexei Vorobyov. In 2011 he had the honor to represent Russia at the international music contest "Eurovision". In one of the broadcasts he allowed himself unprintable statements, for which he received an honorable award in the nomination "Burning Abroad".

But everything could just so easily end, if not for a verbal quarrel with Ksenia Sobchak during the awarding ceremony. Having risen on the stage, Alexei allowed himself and at home to offend not only the people who watched all this, but also his fellow artists. There were loud laughter in the hall, and the singer's non-intuitive behavior was discussed for a long time in the media.

Silver Galosh 2015

Let's remind about the most interesting and entertaining nominations of last year.

The most attention was paid to Anastasia Volochkova. However, as always. This time, she received a statuette for a huge number of photographs published in the "Instagram." Nomination was called "Stick for Selfie, or Queen Instagram." In all the photos, the ballerina is filmed in a very interesting pose - on the twine. This, of course, attracted the attention not only of the spectators, but also of the organizers of the comic award.

The scandalous nomination was "Swollen Ego." Danila Kozlovsky won for one of the scenes at the premiere of "The Big Dream of an Ordinary Man" at the Bolshoi Theater. On the stage, the actor did not stand up, and instead of him the statuette was received by the producer of the play - Philip Kirkorov. And this time, there was a verbal squabble. The unsurpassed Tatyana Lazareva warmed the singer with her jokes .

Pleased listeners radio host Lesya Ryabtseva. In one of the broadcasts, she quite seriously declared that there are 8 million people in Russia. Such a statement could not remain unnoticed by the organizers of the Silver Galosh. The result is a deserved prize in the nomination "A Unicorn without Borders".
