Rebecka Martinsson, Black Lake, Midnight Sun and Before We Die will run against the only comedy The Bonus Family for Best TV Drama at the 2017 Kristallen (Crystal) awards.

B-Reel’s series Before We Die produced by B-Reel for SVT, leads the TV drama slate with three nominations for Best TV Drama, Best Actor and Best Actress. Five shows have two nominations each: Rebecka Martinsson and The Bonus Family, vying for Best TV Drama and Best Actress, Torpedoes running for Best Comedy Programme and Best Actor, Black Lake vying for Best TV Drama, Best Actor, and Mother Goose (Gåsmamman) for Best Actress and Best Actor.

Unlike in previous years where the nominees were chosen by the ‘Kristallen’ founding members SVT, TV4, MTG, Discovery, UR and the Producers Association, this year an independent jury will hand out 13 Crystal awards, while the audience will select four winners. The 2017 Kristallen gala will be transmitted live on SVT and SVT Play on September 1st, 2017.

Nordisk Film & TV Fond is associated to 10 nominations for the series Before We Die, Rebecka Martinsson, Gåsmamman season 2, Farang, Midnight Sun and the documentary Ingrid Bergman in her Own Words.
