The news is rocking: Men in college, the 40-year-old women’s list and the Oscars

Áslaug Arna Sigurbjörnsdóttir, Minister for Universities, Industry and Innovation, laments that Icelandic universities are starting to lag behind the countries we compare ourselves to. She says it is worrying that men drop out right away in high school.

‘We were laughed at when we first arrived in the parliament building,’ say female artists Guðrún Agnarsdóttir and Sigríður Dúna, who discuss major turning points in Icelandic politics in today’s Press Watch .

“This year’s Oscars ceremony was more fun than previous years,” said Gunnar Anton Guðmundsson, who watched the ceremony last night. He says that the winner of the evening, the film Everything Everywhere, Everything At Once, is well deserved, as it is by far the best film of the last year.
