George Eads & Adam Rodriguez at the Monte Carlo TV Festival [Guest Post]
Mim is a French reader who wanted to contribute to our Blog-Off effort today. So she created this video of the stars she saw at the festival and sent me the translation into English. It’s even more impressive when you realize that English is not her first language. Thanks, Mim!
This video and translation from French to English gives us a look at many of the TV stars at the 2008 Monte Carlo TV Festival last week. Among the stars she captured were David Boreanaz of Bones, Lisa Edelstein of House, George Eads of CSI: Vegas & Adam Rodriguez of CSI: Miami. Here’s the video, but if you are an English-only speaker be sure to read the traslation after the video:

A summary of the 48th Monte Carlo TV Festival
Bonjour and welcome to Monacoscope.
This week is a special edition entirely dedicated to the 48th Monte Carlo TV Festival. The festival started last Sunday with the traditional visit of its president His Serenissim Highness Prince Albert II who came to orchestrate the opening ceremony.
Prince AlbertII: “It’s with great pleasure that I declare opened the 48th Monte Carlo TV Festival.”
Among the members of the jury, Laure Adler (Author and Director of France Culture radio station) who presides this year over the URTI (Université Radiophonique et Télévisuelle Internationale) competition which rewards the best documentaries.
Laure Adler: “I do believe in the documentaries, in the documentary type and I think the credibility and appeal of that sort (documentary) will continue to increase.”
The festival first event: the public projection of an unaired episode of the successful series “Plus Belle La Vie” in the presence of its comedians followed by a dedication session.
Then the American stars turn up in force, lead by Eric Close one of the “Without a Trace” actors. For him, his visit to Monaco was a good opportunity to take the measure of the series’ international success.
Eric Close: … interview in English …
Another star, another style, David Boreanaz of “Bones” series, a rather playful nature, he will soon be one of the major attractions of the festival.
David Boreanaz: … interview in english …
But it’s the photographers who benefited the most (from his presence). David B. taking photos of them…and the photographers saying “tremendous!”
Commentator: “Enorme (in French)” They found (his playful mood) “huge”.
The irresistible Adam Rodriguez of CSI: Miami was also present, as well as George Eads of CSI: Vegas, because he deserves it.
David Krumholtz, the mathematician of “Numbers” is…rather small.
The blossoming Lisa Edelstein of “House” is very highly “appreciated/valued”.
The accomplices of “Lost” Naveen Andrews and Jorge Garcia are not complex.
Tuesday evening, the soirée not to be missed took place at the Government Hotel, Jean-Paul Proust accompanied by his wife entertained the comedians, another occasion for David Boreanaz to attract the audience’s attention.
For this 48th edition, the festival also receives/greets a future star of “The Desperate Housewives” Dana Delany: … interview in english …
Thursday evening, it’s awards time, sequins and costumes/formal dress, all wore their best outfits for the last red carpet of the week. Then, comes the closing ceremony.
The awards:
International TV Audience Awards
- Comedy TV Series category: Desperate Housewives

“Law & Order” creator and executive producer Dick Wolf receives his award from the hands of His Serenissim Highness Prince Albert II. It is an Honorary Gold Nymph Award for his work and leadership in the television industry.
