Trivia: Iceland has never yet won the Eurovision song contest.
Trivia: Rachel McAdams doesn't perform all the songs herself, which are mostly sung by Swedish singer Molly Sanden. However McAdams' voice was used for mixing, and she sings in the first rehearsal, plus when she's writing Husavik in her hotel room. Likewise Dan Stevens, whose singing is performed by Erik Mjones.
