Mr. Bjarnfredarson dominates the Eddas.

Last saturday night the annual Edda Awards were handed out here in Iceland. These are our "Oscars" if you will and like the Oscars it's usually one project that has the most nominations. This year it was the box office behemoth Mr. Bjarnfredarson and the TV series that spawned it, The Prison Shift, that took home the most statues. Together Ragnar Bragason and Co won eight of the eleven nominations, Best Feature, Best TV series, Best Director, Best Male Lead and Male Supporting Role, Cinematography, Script and Costume Design.
