The perfect time: Mikhalkova handed over the advance, Vysotskaya and Konchalovsky went out

The movie stars showed off their luxurious evening dresses and daring looks last week on the blue carpet of the prestigious Nika Film Award. Yulia Snigir wore a wrapper dress, Yulia Vysotskaya and Andrei Konchalovsky — relaxed pantsuits. Dmitry Nagiyev and Anton Lapenko presented the comedy "The Actor" about the complicated relationship between a superstar and a film critic. And the Chekhov Moscow Art Theater awarded the "Art Theater Award". Izvestia — about social events and private events of the past week.

Snigir in a wrapper dress, Vysotskaya and Konchalovsky in paired images

On Monday, March 24, the Mask Theater became the point of attraction for the heroes of the gossip columns on the map of the capital. The XXXVIII ceremony of awarding the national cinematographic award "Nika" took place there that evening. The film "The Master and Margarita" by Mikhail Lokshin became a triumph, as Izvestia, which was among the audience, wrote about during the awarding ceremony. The presentation of the statuettes was preceded by a blue carpet, where movie stars showed images for the ceremony.

Yulia Snigir chose a black and silver foil-effect dress with an asymmetrical top. The actress herself joked that it looked like a candy wrapper. In it, Yulia Snigir shone not only on the track, but also on stage, when she went up there for the award for best actress in the film "The Master and Margarita," which, by the way, she refused, as did her husband Evgeny Tsyganov.

Black was preferred by most of the ladies — Anna Peresild, who wore a floor—length dress with a transparent corset, Yura Borisov's wife Anna Shevchuk, who complemented the image with an elegant pearl thread around her neck, Elena Lyadova, who appeared in a short tweed dress with a full skirt, Alexandra Ursulyak, who wore a blouse with feathers. Ravshana Kurkova turned out to be on the bright side. She appeared in a snow-white fitted jacket and a long skirt made of light fabric. The star of the TV series "Lilies of the Valley. Such tender love" Nika Zdorik, who became one of the presenters of the ceremony, chose a figure-hugging white dress with a bow on one shoulder. Anna Mathison was responsible for the color. She wore an elegant emerald-colored dress.

Yulia Vysotskaya distinguished herself by attending the evening in the company of her husband, President of the Russian Academy of Cinematographic Arts "Nika" Andrey Konchalovsky. Last year, she appeared on the award carpet in a black dress with a plunging neckline. This time, she preferred an office style to a feminine look. Julia put on a loose gray pantsuit and complemented the look with a loosely tied tie over a blue shirt. Andrei Konchalovsky, unlike other men in strict tuxedos, also allowed himself a more informal look with lace-up trousers in a sporty style.

The secular premiere of the series "Akterishche" with Nagiyev and Lapenko

On the same evening, the secular premiere of the comedy series "Akterishche" took place in "Karo 11 October". This is the story of a complicated relationship between a superstar and a film critic. Vyacheslav Tretyakov is a big celebrity, enjoys the attention to his person and basks in the rays of his fame. Until the blogger-film critic Nikita Kislyak releases a devastating review of his latest film. The star is furious. First, Tretyakov asks to delete the review in an amicable way, and in response to the refusal, he arranges a public fight and gets into all the news reports. Now the contracts are broken, and the reputation is destroyed. The only chance to rehabilitate oneself is to forget about pride, find a common language with Kislyak and play the main role in his play in a provincial theater.

The guests of the secular premiere were the main actors Dmitry Nagiyev and Anton Lapenko, who rarely go out. The same cannot be said about Gregory Leps' young friend Aurora Kiba, who, on the contrary, is increasingly seen in the gossip columns. The show was also attended by the soloist of "My Michelle" Tatiana Tkachuk and singer Bearwolf, actresses Natalia Rudova, Elena Zakharova, Irina Bezrukova, athletes Arina and Dina Averina.

"Art Theater Award"

At the end of last week, on Friday, March 28, the Chekhov Moscow Art Theater Award ceremony took place for the third time. The award is given to artists under the age of 35 in seven main categories — "Ballet", "Opera", "Classical Music", "Literature", "Cinema", "Theater", "Modern Academic Music". Statuettes were presented to creative youth by their experienced colleagues.

— It so happens that I am spoiled by prizes: I have almost everything. But I can say that I still perceive everyone as an advance, which must be justified and proved that this is no coincidence. I strongly recommend treating any victory this way. This is an advance payment, work it out," Anna Mikhalkova addressed the nominees and laureates from the stage.

The actress presented the award for the role of Alisa Selezneva in the film "One Hundred Years Ahead" to actress Dasha Vereshchagina. Alexandra Ursulyak to director Andrey Manik for the play "Three Sisters".
