Silly Season: the winners of August

Correio da Manhã28 August 2026 at 00:30

The article addresses the most notable moments of the so-called "Silly Season," the summer period traditionally marked by lighter entertainment news. The text presents the "winners" of August, people who gained media attention almost involuntarily.

Fátima Lopes is mentioned for having been seen wearing a scarf by a bonfire during the hot month of August, an image that drew attention due to its incongruity with the summer season. TVI presenter Sílvia Martins is mentioned for her travels through Asia, which generated news content during this period.

The article also references a phenomenon related to astrology that reportedly eclipsed SIC, the largest Portuguese television station. This element suggests that content of an astrological nature surpassed the usual programming of the channel in media impact.

The tone of the text is satirical and ironic, suggesting that these "awards" were given without any particular effort, through situations that captured public attention during the period of lower news activity of the year.
