The Hedda jury gave the following reason for the award to Birgitte Victoria Svendsen:
"The winner of the year is an experienced actress who over the years, nuanced and credible, has convinced in large as well as smaller roles, and who as elegantly masters the seriousness of the classics, the witty lines of the comedy and the playful exuberance of the revues.
This year she has met a new challenge, demanding all sides of her talent. Intuitively and sensitively she has given life to one of life's losers. Precisely and ruthlessly she has revealed the tragic everyday life of an elderly woman not mastering life, while, in using magical empathy, expressing the same woman's bare-naked humanity.
The award goes to Birgitte Victoria Svendsen for her moving interpretation of Mary Tyrone in Long Day's Journey into Night at Teatret Vårt (Our Theatre)."
Øyvind Gran was nominated for The Hedda Award 2009 in the best supporting actor category for the role of Edmund Tyrone, and Erik Ulfsby was nominated for The Hedda Award in the best direction category.
