WATCH: In Iceland, this village is basking in the glow of an Oscar-nominated song


WATCH: In Iceland, this village is basking in the glow of an Oscar-nominated song

HUSAVIK, Iceland - This is a little folk tale with otherworldly elements, like elves. And gleaming golden statuettes.
It is also about some nice things that happened to a tiny town in Iceland, which improbably found itself the setting for a major Hollywood film - and now the namesake for an Academy Award nomination for best original song.
The 2020 Netflix comedy "Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga" isn't high art, for sure. A review of the reviews by critics on the website Rotten Tomatoes gave it 63 percent fresh rating. Robbie Collin in the Telegraph newspaper pronounced it, "Not a film so much as two hours of lump-free, vaguely film-like audiovisual paste." It's not "Nomadland."

Small Icelandic town gets behind Oscar-nominated song


The writers behind the Oscar-nominated song ‘Husavik (My Hometown)’ knew that they wanted it to be an emotional core to the otherwise silly Will Ferrell movie ‘Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga.’ But they had no idea just how significant the ballad would become to the people of the small Icelandic town it’s named after - especially considering the fact they’ve yet to visit. And yet in the past year, the people of Husavik, a town of only 2,300, have staged a grassroots Oscar campaign on behalf of the song and adopted it as a de facto local anthem.
