The Hedda Jury gave the following reason for the best leading actor award to Jan Sælid:
"When everything works, a good actor may give the impression that the role was created for just him. Still, we know that such a successful interpretation is the result of meticulous concentration in and creation of the character within the frame provided by the director. And - not least - in collaboration with the rest of the ensemble. The role for which the award is given carries the performance - also because he finds the strength for his character in his fellow actors' reactions. Thus, his study of powerful people's decline becomes many-sided and intense, in the intersection between tragedy and absurd comedy."
