Me every year during the Nobel prize gala

"why am I not one of the students who is holding the flags of the uni disciplines during the galas opening ceremony this year?"

*is a student in stockholm*

*hasn't even applied to that, even though I am free to do so*

*would probably not even like doing so*

"but why am I not holding the flags of the humanities discipline?"

The thing with the blue hall, the location were the Nobel Prize Gala dinner is held, is btw that it looks like it's outside on the inner square of a castle BUT its indoors

So the ceiling is, I believe, light coloured. Think like. Hogwarts dinner hall. That was what the architect was going for

According to the story he ran out of money, by making the previously shown gold hall, to fully visualise that vision though.

It's like outdoors but one is indoors!

Visual tricks, the architect was into it. This is on the balcony walks which souround the hall.

A balcony that useally is OUTDOORS, indoors!! Wacky

Dramatic stairs! And, a ceiling which looks like it's hovering above the windows. Kinda

Basically, he spent all the money on the dance hall, and had no left for the dinner hall.

Another grand entertainment of the Nobel prize dinner broadcast, is that the commentors spend their time going:

"i wonder what they are speaking about?"

And then they basically suggest different option which they people eating the 4 hour dinner MIGHT be saying to eachother

Basically, they started writing rp fanfiction live on air :p

this is the sort thing we find incredibly entertaing in sweden

qouted from the local.se

The glitziest event of the year is about to kick off in Stockholm, with this year's batch of Nobel Laureates preparing to receive their prizes in a star-studded ceremony on Monday evening.

December 10th is the date of the ceremony each year, chosen because it is the date on which inventor Alfred Nobel died, back in 1896.

The prizes awarded in Nobel's honour are handed out by the Swedish king at Stockholm Concert Hall from 4.30pm, with a world-famous banquet following at the City Hall at 7pm.

The dinner is high-profile, with the 1,300-strong guest list featuring royalty, top politicians and academics plus international guests. But it's a cause of excitement and conversation among the general population too, with around one million Swedes (that's a tenth of the country's entire population) expected to follow along from home by tuning in to the live broadcast on SVT.

There's always interest in the seating plan, released a few days before, and the menu, kept secret apart from some hints dropped in press releases. This year, for example, we know that the food will be based on "classic Swedish" recipes, with plenty of vegetables and a gelatin-free dessert.

What's not a secret, of course, is who will be winning the coveted prizes, which were awarded back in October, with the exception of the prize in literature which was postponed until 2019 after a summer of scandals within the prize-awarding body.

peak swedish tv excitment:

“who will sit next to eachother during the 4+ hour dinner ceremony”

and

“what will they eat for dessert?”

and to ponder

“how boring must it be to sit next to a member of the swedish royal family? that must literal torture!”

its the balance of the universe. in december we watch the nobe prize dinner. from february there is EUROVISION until like... june?

we got much excitment in this country, why you ask?

(we just like finding our enjoyment in the small things. like. the nobel prize winner dinner ceremony. just four + hours!)
