Banadoura d'Or

Al Ittihad Newspaper – Rima Sayrafi

Read what the UAE based Al Ittihad Newspaper published about the Banadoura d’Or Award.
The article is written in Arabic, in the words of the talented author and art critic Ms. Rima Sayrafi. Rima is also a journalist known for her great sense of humour. Her subtle sarcasm makes her reviews an entertaining treat every time!
The article also mentions similar international awards such as The Golden Raspberry Awards , frequently called the Razzies, and of course highlights the incident with Halle Berry. She was awarded the title of Worst Actress for her performance in the motion picture Catwoman, and actually accepted the award! We hope our Lebanese and Arab stars will have a similar reaction to the Banadoura d’Or Award and get in on the joke too!

Blame it on the Teleprompter!

Too bad this wasn’t being broadcasted on a Lebanese / Arab TV Channel or it would surely have been granted a Banadoura d’Or!

We are receiving a lot of inquiries regarding the nature of Special Banadouras. The Special Banadoura Awards are either suggested to us by the public or could also be based on our own initiative, to reward funny occurrences or mishaps in the Arab society.
Every prestigious Award also gives out honorary trophies alongside the regular ones. Our SBO is a funny way to recognize the not so outstanding people in the Creative Industry, and to insure that each honouree is given his/her full due of embarrassment
These special awards could be awarded to absolutely anyone and for anything. Although, it is preferable that the subject matter be known to the larger public, less famous incidents or less known figures will also do just fine. We hope it is clearer now. If not, then nominate us for worst explanation and clarification!
PS: They don’t necessarily have to be bad!

Amine Gemayel, Biggest Oups??!?

We received a peculiar nomination for Amine Gemayel as Biggest Oups.

At first we thought it was a regular hate message, but when we read the comment we fell on the ground from laughing! We had completely forgotten all about that incident! What was going straight into the bin became a perfect nomination! This is why you should always fill out the comment section when you nominate someone!
During an important gathering Amine Gemayel insisted in his speech that he wanted Michel Aoun for president, to the complete shock and dismay of his audience. He soon noticed his mistake, and apologized while laughing.
This Big Oups occurred in 2008, but if we get a lot of nominations we might make an exception. After all it’s not Amine Gemayel’s fault the Banadoura d’Or didn’t exist back then!
We are sure that with his good sense of humour he will accept the award with a smile. In following interviews, he himself acknowledged that his mistake was rather funny!

Randa el Murr in Abyad & Aswad

Radio anchorwoman Randa el Murr mentioned the Banadoura d’Or Award in details on her show Abyad & Aswad. Unfortunately, by the time I figured out how to tape the episode from the radio through my laptop, it was too late! Don’t forget I am new to all this technology! Will get it right next time, I promise;)

Thank you Randa for your support!

Just thought I’d share with you this funny comment posted by a die-hard Haifa fan!
I quote: “ are you real or dream? ıf you are a person, are we what? ıf we are a people, are you what? please come turkey my angel”

Doesn’t this deserve a Banadoura d’Or Award lol!

I especially like the sweet and tender ending.

Oh my. You might need a small metal clip there, dear. Wait let me go fetch my sewing machine. Will be back in a splash, don’t go away!
