2021: Occasional post #2: Up for an Oscar

I said I'd be back if there was an event worth tweeting about, but would otherwise come back to the blog on my next visit. 

You will remember that the film based on Iceland's entry into the Eurovision Song Contest was a big hit on Netflix last year. A song has been shortlisted for an Oscar and the town has come out to support the bid.

The beautiful town of Húsavík has come together to raise awareness of its namesake’s potential Academy Award® nomination! That’s right, the hyper-ballad ‘Húsavík’ from the film Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga has been shortlisted for Best Original Song!#iceland pic.twitter.com/u9xDuBLFrO
