Watch Swedish Director Freak Out Again Over Oscar Nomination (Exclusive Video)
Is a sad YouTube video more fun to watch than a happy one?
Maybe, but Swedish director Ruben Ostlund doesn’t care — because his film “The Square” was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film in January. That makes for a giddier reaction video than the hysterical “Swedish Director Freaks Out” one he posted three years ago when his last film, “Force Majeure,” made the shortlist but didn’t get a nomination.
The new video, which is debuting exclusively at TheWrap, includes footage of Ostlund and his wife watching the nominations announcement from a hotel in Park City, Utah, during the Sundance Film Festival.
