The urban family musical Förortsungar (Kidz in da Hood) from directors Catti Edfeldt and Ylva Gustavsson swept the Swedish national film prizes, the Guldbagge, not only winning the Best Feature category, but also winning Best Director, Best Actor for 2007 Shooting Star Gustaf Skarsgård and Best Screenplay for Ylva Gustavsson and Hans Renhäll, thus cashing in on its four nominations, with colleagues Farväl Falkenberg (Falkenberg Farewell), a melancholic goodbye to youth, and the thriller När mörkret faller (When Darkness Falls) going home empty-handed, though both also went into the race with four nominations. Haddy Jallow won the Best Actress category for her role as Fatou in Säg att du älskar mig (Say That You Love Me), with the supporting categories going to Lia Boysen in Sök (Search) and Anders A. Rosendahl for his role in Hemligheten (The Secret).
