[likkevrom]

This old award show did not have its own thread yet and it's a bit much for the awards masterpost, so I'll make this thread.

Spellemannprisen 2015 - ceremony on January 30, 2016 in Oslo Spektrum, Oslo, Norway
-Aurora won: Årets nykommer (Newcomer of the year) & Gramo-stipend (Gramo-scholarship)

-Aurora nominated: Årets låt (Song of the year) - Running With The Wolves

Homepage | Wikipedia (general info)

The 730.no link from the masterpost has changed, possibly it was this one, a list of the nominees published on January 5. Translated quote from there:

This morning, the nominees for the Spellemannprisen were announced. The award will be shown on NRK1 on 30 January. More names will be released before the show. The nominees have been selected from over 1,200 entries.

The following was after the nominations were announce at Hotel Bristol, Oslo on January 5.

Tissetrengt i takketale

Første pris ut var Beste nykommer og et Gramostipend på 250.000 kroner, som Karpe Diem delte ut til Aurora Aksnes.

En overveldet Aurora takket manager og foreldrene, og rundet av talen med å si at hun hadde drukket alt for mye vann i kveld, og måtte veldig på do.

På presserommet rett etterpå spurte Aksnes om hun virkelig hadde sagt fra scenen at hun måtte på do, og lo litt oppgitt over seg selv.

– Jeg burde kanskje fått litt coaching på hva man bør si, sa hun.

– Jeg holdt på å sovne rett før jeg fikk prisen, for jeg kom rett fra England i dag. Nå våknet jeg. Jeg har egentlig litt lyst til å dra tilbake til hotellrommet og lese ferdig boken min og spise kake, hevdet vinneren.

Rough translation:

Needed to pee in acceptance speech

First prize out was Best Newcomer and a Gramostipend of NOK 250,000, which Karpe Diem awarded to Aurora Aksnes.

An overwhelmed Aurora thanked the manager and the parents, and rounded off the speech by saying that she had drunk way too much water tonight, and really needed to go to the bathroom.

In the press room immediately afterwards, Aksnes asked if she had really said from the stage that she had to go to the bathroom, and laughed a little dejectedly at herself.

- Maybe I should get some coaching on what to say, she said.

- I was about to fall asleep just before I received the award, because I came straight from England today. Now I woke up. I actually kind of want to go back to the hotel room and finish reading my book and eat cake, claimed the winner.

There's also a bit in this article from Aftenposten, written by Thea Storøy Elnan:

Årets nykommer

Aurora Aksnes, kjent under artistnavnet AURORA, ble kveldens første prisvinner, i kategorien Årets nykommer. I tillegg til statuett, får hun Grammostipendet på 250.000 kroner. Dette er hennes aller første Spellemannpris.

— Tusen takk til mamma og pappa, uten dere hadde jeg ikke vært her. Og jeg har drukket alt for mye vann, så jeg må veldig på do nå, sier en overrasket Aurora Aksnes.

Den 19 år gamle jenta fra Os har hatt et brakår med sin EP Running with the Wolves (2015) og er blitt omtalt som en nypotensiell superstjerne.

— Pengene skal jeg bruke på studioinnspilling av musikken min, sier Aksnes til Aftenposten.

Rough translation:

Newcomer of the year

Aurora Aksnes, known under the stage name AURORA, was the evening's first award winner, in the Newcomer of the Year category. In addition to the statuette, she receives the Grammostipendet of NOK 250,000. This is her very first Spellemannpris.

- Many thanks to mum and dad, without you I wouldn't be here. And I've drunk far too much water, so I really need to go to the bathroom now, says a surprised Aurora Aksnes.

The 19-year-old girl from Os has had a smash year with her EP Running with the Wolves (2015) and has been referred to as a new potential superstar.

"I will use the money on studio recording of my music," says Aksnes to Aftenposten.

The bit about Aurora:

Gramostipendet på 250.000 kr, som skal være til glede for den som kåres til årets nykommer, gikk til Aurora Aksnes. 19-åringen fra Os har utmerket seg internasjonalt det siste året og vinner prisen allerede før hun har gitt ut sitt første album, som slippes i mars. Hun fikk statuetten av Karpe Diem, som selv stakk av med Årets musikkvideo for «Hvite menn som pusher femti», mens Odd Nordstoga ble Årets tekstforfatter.

Google translation:

The Gramostipendet of NOK 250,000, which is to be enjoyed by whoever is named newcomer of the year, went to Aurora Aksnes. The 19-year-old from Os has excelled internationally in the past year and won the award even before she has released her first album, which will be released in March. She received the statuette from Karpe Diem, who himself ran away with the music video of the year for "Hvite menn som pusher femti", while Odd Nordstoga won lyricist of the year.

I made a video with English Subtitles including the brief nomination interview, the red carpet interview, her winning the newcomer awards, the post show interview and her presenting 2 different awards.

I did not include the "Song of the Year" section where she was nominated, since she is not shown at all.

Additional informations from the compilation-video (posted 2023-06-18):

Aurora - Spellemannprisen 2015 (Norwegian "Grammys") 2016-01-30 (Eng Subs)

Aurora was nominated for 2 awards for Spellemannprisen 2015: "Newcomer of the Year" and "Song of the Year" with "Running With The Wolves". The award ceremony was held on Saturday January 30th 2016 in "Oslo Spektrum".

She did a brief interview on January 5th 2016 in Hotel Bristol - Oslo after the nominations was announced.

At the award show on January 30th 2016 she won "Newcomer of the Year" which came with a "Gramo" scholarship of 250,000 NOK (~$25,000). The award was presented to her by "Karpe Diem" a Norwegian rap duo.
She did not win "Song of the Year", it was won by "Kygo" (EDM music) with "Stole the Show" (feat. Parson James)". Kygo is also from the Bergen area like Aurora.
The "Song of the Year" section of the show is not included in this video, since Aurora was not shown, only a brief clip from the Running With The Wolves music video.
