The Norwegian film “Affeksjonsverdi” has been nominated in eight categories ahead of Europe’s answer to the Oscars, the European Film Awards,
This is a record for a Norwegian film.
The actors Renate Reinsve (38) and Stellan Skarsgård (74) are likely to run away with awards.
Maria Ekerhovd, producer of “Affeksjonsverdi”, tells TV 2 that it is really big and that they are very happy.
– To be part of European film and to be here to celebrate that we have a system that lays the foundation for free narratives feels like a very important privilege right now, Ekerhovd continues.

On the night of Sunday, the Golden Globe Awards took place in Los Angeles.
The prestigious award honors the best movies and TV shows of the past year, and provides a clue as to who will do well at the Oscars in March.
“Affektionsverdi” was nominated in eight categories, but it was no big deal for the Norwegian film hopes.

– Of course I wasn’t prepared for this, because I thought I was too old, Skarsgård joked when he accepted the award.
