Edduverðlaunin 2013: Edda Awards for Icelandic film/TV – nominees


The Íslenska kvikmynda- og sjónvarpsakademían (Icelandic Film and Television Academy) announced today the nominations for their 15th Annual Edduverðlaunin or Edda Awards.

Djúpið (The Deep) by Baltasar Kormákur led the field with sixteen nominations. Its nominations included Best Film, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Actor (Ólafur Darri Ólafsson) and four supporting acting nods. The film is based on a true story of a fisherman's efforts to survive in the freezing ocean after his boat capsizes south of Iceland. The Deep was Iceland's submission to the Academy for the Best Foreign Language category but was not shortlisted.

Óskar Þór Axelsson's Svartur á leik (Black's Game), however, wasn't far behind with fifteen nominations. The crime drama about the rise of Iceland's gangs also received mentions for Best Film, Best Director and Best Screenplay as well as two Best Actor nods (Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson and Þorvaldur Davíð Kristjánsson).

Reynir Lyngdal's Frost captured the third slot for both Best Film and Best Director.

A total of 100 films and TV work were submitted for this year's Edduverðlaunin. Of those submissions, there were 7 films, 7 short films and 17 documentaries, compared with 8 films, 13 short films and 14 documentaries a year ago.

The 15th Annual Edduverðlaunin awards ceremony will take place on Saturday, February 16.
