Årets Reumert takes place on Sunday June 7 2026 with the versatile actor Caspar Phillipson at the helm. As the host of the evening, he will guide the audience through the ceremony, which returns to the historic setting of Folketeatret. Here, the industry and audiences will come together to celebrate the year’s greatest performing arts experiences, as a total of 18 awards are presented in a festive tribute to the Danish performing arts landscape.
Caspar Phillipson graduated from Aarhus Theatre in 1995 and has since enjoyed an extensive and distinguished career on both Danish and international stages. He has appeared in a wide range of theatre productions and musicals, including West Side Story (2006) and The Secret Garden (2011), and has also performed as a concert singer and voice-over artist.
Internationally, he has gained significant recognition for his portrayal of John F. Kennedy on the big screen. Most recently, he played Kennedy in "Maria" (2024) alongside Angelina Jolie and in "Hammarskjöld" (2023). Earlier, Caspar Phillipson appeared in productions such as "Blonde" (2022), the international blockbuster "Mission: Impossible – Fallout" (2018), and the Oscar-nominated "Jackie" (2016) alongside Natalie Portman.
In Denmark, he is also known for his performance in the DR hit series "Orkestret" (2022 and 2024), which earned him the award for ‘Best Supporting Role – Series’ at the Det Vi Elsker Prisen (2025).
The newly appointed Årets Reumert host, Caspar Phillipson, says: “I am so proud to be hosting Årets Reumert! It will be an evening where we – in the most beautiful way – celebrate the performing arts and everything they represent. And the hosting role is, of course, my ticket to Årets Reumert this year. They’re selling out fast!”
