Best Film (with Baltasar Kormákur & Agnes Johansen)
This award entry appears to confuse Ólafur Darri Ólafsson with the different person Ólafur Jóhann Ólafsson. The 2024 Nordic Council Film Prize nomination for Touch was credited to director Baltasar Kormákur, screenwriter Ólafur Jóhann Ólafsson, and producers Agnes Johansen and Baltasar Kormákur—not to actor Ólafur Darri Ólafsson.
Full reasoning
The article’s awards table implies that Ólafur Darri Ólafsson was among the people nominated for the 2024 Nordic Council Film Prize for Touch. But the official nomination materials list a different Ólafur: Ólafur Jóhann Ólafsson, the film’s screenwriter and novelist.
Official Nordic Council / Nordisk Film & TV Fond nomination pages for Touch identify the credited team as:
- Director: Baltasar Kormákur
- Screenwriters: Ólafur Jóhann Ólafsson and Baltasar Kormákur
- Producers: Agnes Johansen and Baltasar Kormákur
Those official sources do not list actor Ólafur Darri Ólafsson as a nominee or credited producer/writer for Touch. So this row appears to be a name mix-up between Ólafur Darri Ólafsson and Ólafur Jóhann Ólafsson.
