An Óskar for Húsavík

On Feb 9, 2021, The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced the shortlists for the 93rd Academy Awards®. Fifteen songs were announced for the Original Song category. Among the songs announced was ’Husavik’ from the Netflix film ’Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga’.

So here you go, we hope you enjoy our video. Please mention it to your friends in the Academy. Visit to learn more.
