crap... as much as i love JKR, i really want douglas adams to win. JKR hasnt really had a lifetime of achievements yet. as amazing as harry potter is, she hasnt really written anything else. i feel like the other authors had long, varied careers, whereas JKRs career is just beginning. i think she deserves the award... just not right now.

|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-14 14:49:07
Cool. But yeah, what about Rupert?
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-14 14:52:19
Emma? Hm, this just seems like another popularity contest to me.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-14 14:58:36
I agree with janegallagher.only Im not going ot vote for Adams. Im going with Wells
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-14 15:19:21
Oh, thats tough. I love Jo with all my heart but Ill be voting for Douglas Adams. Jo should and definitely will win this award later in life, but as janegallagher said, her career is only just beginning.
RIP Douglas.

thats awesome i hope they win but what about Rupert? Hes just as good an actor as Dan and Emma.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-14 15:57:49
Considering that Emma cant act, I will have to kill someone if she wins over Helena Bonham Carter. Seriously. It is, like someone above me said, a popularity contest.
And exactly, what about Rupert? He is far more talented than the other two, and quite frankly if I was him Id be getting pretty pissed off at being constantly overlooked.
Basically, if Emma wins, I will despair forever more.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-14 16:08:04
amy_loves_rhr - Its not that emma cant act. She cant act WELL. There is a small difference. ------------ Ten dollars says that Dan and Emma will win, even though the definitely shouldnt. Rupert should have at least gotten a nmoniation, seeing as hes a decent actor. Besides, do any of these peope, (Jo included) need any more awards? Where do they put them all?
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-14 16:14:20
I want Helena Bonham Carter to win.
Shes only one of my favorite actresses EVER!
:-)
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-14 17:23:55
Whaaaat. Helena Boham Carter up against Emma Watson? Thats the most hilarious thing Ive read all week. Im sorry, but I dont think Emma is that good of an actress. I do think Dan deserves a nomination, but if he does, so does Rupert, because hes just as good, and in my personal opinion, even better. But whatever. Good luck, Helena!
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-14 17:27:27
well honestly idkkk about the JKR cat. that shes in . lol i dont know who the others are so obviously im going to go for her "/ umm well thats a tuffie between emma & helena . but i will say that its not that emma cant act & like it has been said she just doesnt act well, its that she for some reason doesnt put enough into hermoine AT TIMES, i mean i couldnt see anyone else playing hermoine but her & helena well i havnet seen sweeny todd but the way she acted in the OoTP she did GREAT & played her part well so who knows. & yay for dan (: hes got my vote & MOST def. where is ruperts recognition? i mean i think he is an AWESOME actor i LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEE him just as much as dan maybe a bit more , but he def. deserved to be atleast recognized and nominated :/
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-14 17:45:42
I wish them all luck, but all of these kinds of award shows have been turned into popularity contests now. Like, I think Rupert is a better actor than Dan, but he wasnt nominated.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-14 17:57:28
yeah Rupert should deffinately be nominated
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-14 18:22:31
This is pretty cool, so many harry potter related celebrities being nominated, Rupert deserves a nomination too, he is a really good actor and can play ron really well. {-:}

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-14 19:36:19
I hope the winner is Daniel in the actor side for the actress I hope is Emma, sorry Helena but I am with the children this time. But who ever wins is good, I given my vote the 25th too.

emma watson being nominated for best actress is a joke. her name and best actress should not be mentioned in the same sentence. she ruined hermione for me.

Yay all of the harry potters!!! I cant believe some of you idiots say that "oh i dont wanna vote for emma or jo coz they dont deserve it". I means what more losers can some of you be. Emma IS A GREAT ACTRESS!!!! And whether you like it or not, billions of people around the world LOVE Emma, they even like her more then rupert and dan!! Its some losers her, decide to comment that "oh, she doesnt act" or something. ARGHHH!! P.s The only reason y im using bad language is coz every time emma is nominated, people decide to diss AGAIN. And im really sick of it! I swear to god im not reading these comments every again...unless I need to!
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-14 22:50:54
Oh, my goodness! How to decide? I like Emma, and Dan, and Rupert, and Neville and The Weasley twins. But they arent even mentioned. And, I dont know that Dan and Emma do win the awards. It seems to me that they are nominated a lot, but do they win? I am sorry if I am wrong.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-14 23:27:09
Why have the news up now, when no-one can even vote yet??? Also I hope hp wins!!!

Emma_Granger_Rulz - Good thing your not reading these anymore. Seems like you cant handle criticism of celebrities well.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-15 08:03:31
Congratulatons to Jo and Daniel!! they are the only ones who deserve to win this, in my opinion!
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-15 08:09:53
i hope Dan,Emma and Jo win...i just also think Rupert should be nominated because i think hes the best actor out of the trio.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-15 08:19:43
Dan deserves a nomination - hes a good actor and so does JKR of course. OOTP, meh but I can handle it but I have to agree with everyone, Emma Watson should not get nominated - and I dont think she stands a chance with Helena. She just cant act! But of course EVERYONE knows my stance on this xD If you ask me, shes alot like those Disney stars - pretty and her biggest fanbase is a bunch of silly tweens who dont know any better. I give Rupes credit for all hes been through. And Emma_Granger, everyone has their fans and everyone has their fans, so maybe you could star accepting that alot of people who have actually good tastes in movies and actors dont like her at all. Helena and Rupert owns!
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-15 10:54:41
can anyone explain to me why when Emma Watson comes up, people lose their ability to respect one anothers opinions? the fans who hate her and think shes a terrible actress are often just as intolerant and immature sounding as the ones who defend her to the death. have a little dignity people, shes just a teenage girl, not a war criminal OR the second coming.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-15 11:03:40
no offense to emma, but she has no chance if shes going against Helena Bonham Carter. The way she played Mrs. Lovett in Sweeney Todd was impeccable. But I hope j.k rowling and dan win :D
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-16 08:19:34
Emma is gorgeous and Rupert should be at least nominated!
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-16 09:18:55
Yeah...Rupert is always left out. Every award they give to Harry Potter for best actor is always given to Dan, not Dan and Rupert, so whats up with that?
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-16 11:11:13
Ummm....not an anti-Emma fan, I actually do like her, but why does she keep getting nominated for "Best Actress" in the HP movies? She has less lines and screen time, especially in the later movies, than Dumbledore. Perhaps "Supporting Actress" but if they give her that honor then why cant Rupert get that acknowledgement either? :( Unfair. Just a popularity contest like some others have stated.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-16 15:08:47
Usually in the movies, well most movies Ive ever seen anyway, they take the leading male role and the leading female role and those are the two that get nominated for the awards and things like that. In the HP films the leads go to Dan and Emma,so ofcourse they are going to get nominated. Im not going to say that Emma is a bad actress because I couldnt imagine her character being played by anyone else. I think she does a good job playing the part and she goes well with Dan and Rupert . Helena is a good actress too but she not the leading lady in the movie so she should be acknowledged as "best supporting actress" at best. I think the same should go for the actresses that play Luna McGonagall Trelawney and Ginny. I think all of them play their part very well! I still stand firm on the fact that Rupert isnt recognized as much as he should be because he does one hell of a good job playing Ron! Oh and VampireKisses, you need to lighten up. Emma has the role and that
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-17 20:36:28
Can someone please explain to me why Rupert is constantly overlooked and why Emma is constantly nominated? In my opinion, it should be the other way around.
