Efterskalv Clinches Surprise Victory At The Guldbagge Awards

Magnus Von Horn’s Efterskalv (Aftershock) clinched a surprise victory in the Best Picture and Best Director categories at the 2016 Guldbagge Awards this evening, with Mats Blomgren collecting Best Supporting Actor for the film.

There was a minor scandal when the nominees were announced on 4th January as the critics favourite throughout 2015, Peter Grönlund’s Tjuvheder, failed to receive a nomination for Best Film. However, it proved to be the night’s big winner with five awards: Best Screenplay, Best Actress, Best Editing, Best Scenic Design and Best Costume.

Meanwhile fan favourite, Hannes Holm’s En man som heter Ove, did not leave the ceremony empty handed. Rolf Lassgård won his second Guldbagge for Best Actor, and the film also took home the Audience Award and Best Make-Up, which went to Oscar nominees Eva von Bahr and Love Larson.
