 Europe : The 13th Annual GSMA Global Mobile Awards proved lucky for some, as the winners were announced last night at a glittering gala dinner in Barcelona.
It was an evening full of stars and surprises, with a special guest appearance by legendary actor, director and Sundance Institute Founder and President, Robert Redford, introducing the GSMA’s Mobile Entertainment Awards ahead of his keynote speech at the Mobile World Congress today (Mobile Backstage, Barcelona 13th February).
Awards were presented by actor, writer and producer Isabella Rossellini, Bollywood actress Sherlyn Chopra and, from the music world, Black Eyed Peas front man will.i.am.

Congratulating the winners, the GSMA’s CEO Rob Conway said: “Each year as the influence of mobile communications spreads further to enhance more and more aspects of people’s lives, the scope of the Awards become greater, and the competition becomes more intense as a result. Because the mobile world is such an amazing universe of opportunities, its gravitational forces are pulling other industries into its realm - internet, finance, advertising, music and film.
“Many of tonight’s winners reflect that premise, and as we celebrate 20 years since the foundations for global mobile communication were laid, they demonstrate not only how far we have come, but also the limitless possibilities of where innovation and inspiration can take us in the years ahead.”
Winners in the Technology category will be providing presentations of their successful entries in a special session at the Mobile World Congress this afternoon (13th February).
The Global Mobile Awards 2008 are sponsored by Qualcomm. Ericsson and Verisign are category sponsors.
