Vikings star Alexander Ludwig honored with Canadian Screen Award

Vikings season 5 Bjorn

If there’s one thing that we’ve felt for quite some time, it’s that Vikings as a whole is one of the most-snubbed series out there at awards shows. Just think for a moment of all of the times in which it’s been overlooked across the board whether it be at the Emmys or the Golden Globes. It’s absolutely frustrating to see this happen with a show this good and we wish that there was some way in which its fate at some of these awards shows could be turned around.

Yet, there is still some good news to talk about here in Vikings star Alexander Ludwig being recognized recently at the Canadian Screen Awards for his role as Bjorn. You can see a little more reaction from him in his post on Instagram below and one thing feels pretty clear: He is excited about the honor (and we are excited for him!). The only reason why Ludwig was not there in person to accept the award was because he is in the process of filming the sixth season of the show in Ireland. The cast and crew have been over there for most of the year, and before that they were taking a slight break for the holiday season.

Ludwig originally hails from Vancouver, so getting this honor is very special for him. Hopefully, this award can help open the door for some more awards/nominations for him other cast members at the Golden Globes or the Emmys. We’d like to see Ludwig getting some more recognition for his role of Bjorn, and we’ve absolutely felt like Katheryn Winnick has been snubbed many times for her role as Lagertha.
