Awards Roundup: March Victories and May Hopefuls

by Elyse Maupin-Thomas · March 31, 2023

It’s been a fruitful awards season for the Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts cast and crew alumni.

The 95th Academy Awards yielded no direct wins for the Wizarding World alumni nominated, though a few were represented in victories for select films. The Whale, featuring Samantha Morton (Mary Lou Barebone), saw some success with wins for Best Actor in a Leading Role and Best Makeup and Hairstyling. Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio, featuring David Bradley (Argus Filch), Ron Perlman (Gnarlak), and the musical stylings of Alexandre Desplat, won Best Animated Feature Film.

Moving on to the Critics Choice Super Awards, The Batman, starring Robert Pattinson (Cedric Diggory), Zoë Kravitz (Leta Lestrange), and Colin Farrell (Percival Graves), saw wins for both Best Superhero Movie and Best Actor in a Superhero Movie, the latter awarded to Farrell for his portrayal of the Penguin.

 

Congratulations to Colin Farrell. The Batman star has won the Critics Choice SUPER Award for BEST ACTOR in a SUPERHERO MOVIE.

Ralph Fiennes (Lord Voldemort) celebrated a well-deserved win for Best Actor in a Horror Movie for The Menu. Andor, starring Fiona Shaw (Petunia Dursley), tied with Stranger Things, featuring Jamie Campbell Bower (teenage Gellert Grindelwald), for Best Science Fiction/Fantasy Series, Limited Series or Made-for-TV Movie. Wednesday, which features the costume design skills of Fantastic Beasts‘ Colleen Atwood and Mark Sutherland, won Best Horror Series, Limited Series or Made-for-TV Movie.

The month of May will welcome two awards shows, where we look forward to cheering on several Wizarding World hopefuls.

The Irish Film & Television Academy announced its nominations for the Irish Academy Awards. The Banshees of Inisherin, starring Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson (Alastor Moody), appears in more than a few of the 28 categories, including Best Film, Director – Film, Script – Film, Costume Design, Hair & Makeup, Sound, and VFX. Farrell is nominated for Lead Actor – Film while Brendan Gleeson is nominated for Supporting Actor – Film.

The Dry, starring Ciarán Hinds (Aberforth Dumbledore), saw its fair share of nominations, including Best Drama, Director – Drama, Script – Drama, Lead Actress – Drama, Cinematography, and Original Music. Hinds is nominated for Supporting Actor – Drama.

The Ghost of Richard Harris is nominated for the George Morrison Feature Documentary Award. The documentary details the storied existence of the remarkable actor, who lent his considerable talents to portray Albus Dumbledore in the first two Potter films.

Did You Know

Quidditch started in the 11th century at a place called Queerditch Marsh, which is not marked on Muggle maps because wizards have made the place unplottable. Originally, it was quite a crude game played on broomsticks with just the Quaffle.

Potter History

October 3, 2006 – The American Library Association reports that the Harry Potter series is voted as the favorite banned book.

Potter Quote

“Cedric was a person who exemplified many of the qualities that distinguish Hufflepuff house. He was a good and loyal friend, a hard worker, he valued fair play. His death has affected you all, whether you knew him well or not. I think that you have the right, therefore, to know exactly how it came about. […] Cedric Diggory was murdered by Lord Voldemort.”
