The feature film has with a few exceptions been quite tame this year, partly due to shallow corona-postponed premieres while the documentary has been stronger, which can also be seen in the category Best Film, where two out of five are documentaries, Greta and Scheme Birds - two documentaries as in and in itself leans heavily towards a traditional feature film narrative.
The heaviest nominations go to the quartet Charter, Spring Uje spring and Orca, which was expected and correct.
18 different feature films have been
nominated, which may give the impression that a lot of good films have been made this year, but that is not really the case.
The wide spread can be seen above all in the technical awards, which have given many nominations for genre films such as Watch out for the Jönsson League, the family film Nelly Rapp and the horror film Andra sidan.
We who comment usually forget about the technical prices, which is crazy, without good technology the rest is pretty smooth.
The big winner here is Watch out for the Jönsson League, which has received six nominations, closely followed by Nelly Rapp.
Congratulations to them.
You can also note
that the mask duo Eva von Bahr and Love Larsson seem to subscribe to bag nominations (they were even Oscar nominees for A Man Named Ove and The Centenarian).
This time they compete with the said Nelly Rapp.
The best film of the year is Spring Uje spring, no talk about that.
Henrik Schyffert's directorial debut in the feature film context received six heavy nominations, and should be richly rewarded at the Guldbagge Gala, even if you probably get to release some ram to Amanda Kernell's divorce film Charter.
