The 7th Edda Awards were held on 13 November 2005 at Nordica Hótel in Reykjavík.[1] The Awards were hosted by actor Þorsteinn Guðmundsson and was broadcast live on RÚV.[2]

As in previous years, the public was able to cast their votes online. The Icelandic Film and Television Academy had 70% say in the results and the public 30%. Except for the Best Television Personality where the public had 100% say in the results. This year a total of 53 people were nominated for Best Television Personality.[3] This year also marked the first time the members of the academy were able to submit their votes online. This was done through a special email service.[4]

The film Voksne Mennesker, directed by Dagur Kári was nominated in five categories and won 4 awards. Magnús Scheving's LazyTown was also nominated in 5 categories but only won one award. Silvía Night was prominent as always and did not shy away from the attention on the award night. She was nominated in two categories and won both. One of those awards was the Best Television Personality which was chosen online by the Icelandic public.
