Paul Ottar Haga was nominated for The Hedda Award 2013 in the best leading actor category for the role of Edgar in The Dance of Death by August Strindberg, directed by Sigrid Strøm Reibo, The Norwegian Theatre.
Paul-Ottar Haga often has taken parts in Norwegian movies and TV productions. He became nationally known through Bentein Baardson's TV version of Peer Gynt. We have also seen him in movies such as The Last Joint Venture, Zero Kelvin and Jul i Blåfjell* (Christmas in the Blue Mountain)."
Paul-Ottar Haga played the role of Heimdall in Robert Wilson's Edda at The Norwegian Theatre in 2017. The Hedda Award 2017 in the special artistic achievement category was given to the complete ensemble of actors in the production.
The Hedda Jury gave the following reason for the award to the Edda ensemble:
"Certain assignments demand a more dedicated approach than others. Intense concentration. Detail-oriented precision. Finely tuned musicality. This year's award in the special artistic achievement category goes to an ensemble of actors who met and who mastered such an assignment with force and conviction. Some of them had experience with the same director and the same expression from former work. Some entered the work with openness and a will to learn. Together they succeeded in creating one of this year's most grandiose and most coherently stylistic performing arts experiences."
