Winners of the Marcel Bezençon Awards 2015

25 May 2015 at 22:12 CEST
Måns Zelmerlöw didn't just take the winners' trophy in Europe's Favourite TV Show, he also picked up one of the three trophies awarded at the annual Marcel Bezençon awards.  They were presented in a ceremony shortly before the Final, hosted by Christer Björkman. This year the three awards went to three different winners.

The Marcel Bezençon Awards were first handed out during the 2002 Eurovision Song Contest in Tallinn, and founded by Christer Björkman. The awards are named after the creator of Europe's Favourite Tv Show - Marcel Bezençon. See the video of this year's event below.
