Organisers of Germany's top show-business awards, The Golden Camera, have announced that Kylie Minogue is to be named best international music act. A ceremony for the awards, which are now in their 43rd year and celebrate excellence in the categories of film, TV and music, will take place in Berlin on 6 Feb. Minogue's gong is awarded on account of "her brilliant comeback after recovering from cancer".
The Golden Camera has seven national and five international categories, and previous winners include the likes of George Clooney and Cate Blanchett. Legendary actor-type Robert de Niro joins Ms Minogue as a recipient this time around.
