“Dummedag” won Best Screenplay in the “Long Format Series” category at Canneseries Tonight.
This was confirmed by NRK Entertainment Editor-in-Chief Christina Rizk Resar in a text message to NRK.
Screenwriter Christopher Pahl was called upon to accept the award.
– When I realized that we were the ones who received the award, I felt very upset “I'm shaking in my legs and I feel very sorry that I didn't write a letter,” Bahle says over the phone from Cannes, laughing.

Canning factories, or Cannes International Festival Series As its full name is, it is an international television festival that showcases and honors series around the world.
The ceremony was attended by a number of international stars, including actor Michael Douglas. He plays the main role in the series “Franklin”, which was shown at the closing ceremony.
– I have followed the Cannes Film Festival before, and it is strange to suddenly be part of an international awards ceremony.
“Imagine having to talk to Michael Douglas in the hall,” Bahl continued.
