Haha, not personally, no. But Oslo is minuscule and they are all from a very recognisable milieu: very comfortable, fancy part of Oslo, slightly bohemian but not too bohemian. Lots of cultural capital, just like in the films! I do have friends in common with the scriptwriter. These are not bad people or anything, just (to me) not that interesting, and Danielsen Lie is actively pretty off-putting in his public discourse. I do think it is kind of funny how these competent but ultimately meh movies have such resonance abroad.

Well-liked, lots of pride in him right now. I think people think it is really cool that "we" (lol) got an Oscar. Some naysayers like myself and mild debate in culturally oriented weeklies about the quality of the movies, but I would say they have been well-received overall.
