The Hedda Jury gave the following reason for the award to Mads Ousdal:
"As many of the younger actors of our age this year's winner not only masters the theatre stage, he has also proven excellence on the movie screen. He has found time to test himself as a director, and has shared the responsibility for a venue's profile. He gets the award for his thorough, balanced and intelligent interpretation of an unusual, complex character, a social rebel maimed by mourning, ending in a tight battle/close fight with God, the Devil and himself. To create a credible portrait of a character that human and intellectually complex, in battle with theoretical thoughts about guilt and responsibility, is a great performance.
Mads Ousdal gets the award for his illuminating interpretation of Ivan in The Brothers Karamazov at The National Theatre the spring of 2009."
