Tokio Hotel is up for a Bravo Otto Award in Deutschland! First, if you’re NOT a TH fan, you’re probably all, WTF’s a Bravo Award? No, it’s not the same as the network that beams The Real Housewives of Orange County and Top Chef into your home. This Bravo is a German teen magazine that’s been around for over 50 years (it originally featured Elvis on the cover, to give you an idea how old it is), and it’s spun off into a variety of pop-culture mags, a TV show, and the Bravo Awards, which Madonna, Kylie Minogue, Mariah Carey, and David Hasselhoff have all received.
Tokio Hotel performed at the “50 Jahre Bravo” show (”50 Years of Bravo”) in October 2006 and received Otto awards in 2006, 2007, and 2008. And Tokio Hotel was recently nominated for a 2009 Otto for Best Superband, next to a host of other bands, including Jonas Brothers, Pussycat Dolls (a Tokio Hotel fave!), and Fall Out Boy. Not too shabby, right?
Acknowledging that Best Superband is a superlatively AWESOME category, one far more interesting than, say, Best Compilation Soundtrack Album For Motion Picture, Television Or Other Visual Media, and one that an American awards show REALLY needs to adopt (you listening, VMAs peoples?) — tell me this: Which award, real or otherwise — should Tokio Hotel should be nominated for next?
+ Plus: TokioHotelWorldFans.com posted some amazing TH photos shot by Christopher Haering. Check ‘em out if you haven’t seen them yet. And: Bill Kaulitz’s new hair — inspired by Stevie Wonder?
