This Icelandic Town Wants An Oscar And More Tourists—And It May Get Both Share to Facebook ASSOCIATED PRESS Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga, starring Will Ferrell and Rachel McAdams, has been nominated for exactly one Academy Award and nobody is more excited than the residents of a sleepy little town in Iceland. The real-life Icelandic fishing town of Húsavík (pop. 2,300), where the film is set, has launched a clever grassroots YouTube campaign for the power ballad “Húsavík (My Hometown),” which is up for “Best Original Song.” Having adopted the song as a local anthem, the town has created a series of videos that are charmingly silly and self-deprecating, just like the film. Húsavík’s fictional mayor, Óskar Óskarsson (played by actor Sigurdur Illugason) shows folks around town and expresses his hope that the song will win on Oscar night.
