On Monday evening, it’s time for the Golden Beetle Gala. Under the direction of Shima Niavarani, last year’s film efforts will be praised, directly from Cirkus in Stockholm. When Shima Niavarani visited After Five only days before the evening’s gala, she pointed out that it is a tricky gala to lead. – It’s a real hell assignment, she says in the program, but also adds: – I don’t think it’s fun to do things if it’s not really challenging. She is joined on stage by, among others, Hedda Stiernstedt, William Spetz, Alba August, Bahar Pars and Christina Schollin, who are some of the award winners during this year’s gala. And Molly Hammar stands for entertainment in the form of singing. The people’s favorites during the Guldbaggegala 2024 The gala’s audience prize goes to the year’s most popular feature film, where the people’s votes decide. The films that received the most votes this year and are thus nominated are “Beck – Inferno”, “Canceled” and “Hammarskjöld”. Last year, it was Joakim Lundell’s horror film “Feed” that won the people’s votes – and this year too, one of Joakim Lundell’s films, “Canceled”, made it into the nominations. “Beck – Inferno” is the 49th Beck film in the series and in the main role we usually see Peter Haber as Martin Beck. This year, Peter Haber is also nominated for Best Male Actor in a Supporting Role for his performance in “One day, all this will be yours”. For his role as the UN Secretary General in “Hammarskjöld”, Mikael Persbrandt also has a chance for a Guldbagge in the category Best Male Actor in a Leading Role. “Hammarskjöld” can take home a total of seven Guldbaggar. But the film with the most nominations is “The Scapegoat”, which is nominated in nine categories. But on the other hand, the thriller is not highlighted in what is considered the finest category, Best Film. She can win her first Guldbagge – and he can break a record Mikael Persbrandt can take home his third Guldbagge and thus touch the record. Only Stellan Skarsgård has taken home three rams before, the most among male actors. It is the eighth time that Mikael Persbrandt has been nominated for a Guldbagge. Twice before, he has received the award, for the main roles in the films “Maria Larsson’s eternal moments” and “Mig äger ingen”. And someone who can win her very first Guldbagge is Lena Olin, now that she has received her first ever nomination in the gala. For her performance in the film “Andra akten” she can now win a Golden Beetle for Best Female Lead.
