The Hedda Jury gave the following reason for the award to Laila Goody:

"A supporting role is a significant part of most theatre production. It is about co-acting and to contribute to the quality of the performance. The nominated within the female category have most different roles, but whichever time perspective and age, they share some traits: They are all searching, they are vulnerable, and they are driven by their erotic forces. They stumble between the old phenomena 'sense and sensibility'and cynicism, with a dose of egotism mixed in.

The winner shines in expressing her role's vanity, aggression, and battle to be loved, physically or artistically - she would best like both. She stands forward as the diva she plays in the performance of juicy, tender lines, but also in the unsaid, through her looks. There is plenty of spite and lusciousness in this woman, a timeless character from the late 1800es."
