We saw some real powerhouses take home the coveted awards.
Mundruczó: Ein Regisseur der Superlative
Okay, so Béla Tarr's influence is pretty obvious in his work, but Mundruczó brings his own unique flavor to the table. His direction is intense, visceral, almost brutal at times. Remember that scene in …? Goosebumps, I tell you! Goosebumps! He's a master of building tension, and he knows how to wring every ounce of emotion from his actors.

And that's what makes him so captivating. This Nestroy-Preis is totally deserved. He's a force of nature in the theater world.
Edtmeier: Die Bühnenmagierin
Next up, we have Anna Edtmeier. Honestly, I'm still processing her work. I saw her production of … (I should probably mention the play's name here but my brain is still recovering from how amazing it was!), and it completely blew me away. I think that's the perfect way to put it! Her set designs are always so clever, and the way she uses space is just genius. I mean, she managed to create such a immersive environment. This woman is a true visionary! She effortlessly blends the old with the new, creating something fresh and exciting every single time. I know she won for her costume design, and you should see what she can do with a single fabric! This year, it was definitely her year!
Stolzmann: Ein Schauspieler für die Ewigkeit
And then there's Philipp Stolzmann. Oh my goodness, this man is a legend! His performance in … (Seriously, I need to stop forgetting the names of these plays!) was absolutely stunning. He just is the character. I have been a fan for years, but he just continues to surprise me with his range and depth of talent. From subtle nuances to full-blown emotional explosions, he pulls it off with effortless grace and is an actor deserving of every accolade and award imaginable. I mean, the way he embodied the role… totally captivating, unforgettable. I'm pretty sure I'll be thinking about it for weeks! This Nestroy-Preis? Long overdue.
