Congratulations to the Team of “Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix” for this well deserved Award. I wholly agree with you Confederate Lady, they deserve every bit of it. Dan looked great at the acceptance speech!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW, I can’t believe it. The fans have spoken and the winner is OOTP :) Congrats to the whole HARRY POTTER CREW. I would also like to cast a vote for THE LEAKY CAULDRON FOR BEST POTTER SITE ON THE NET. One vote down millions more to follow:)
You see in the video speech, do ya think that’s a Harry costume? never really thought of Harry as a checked shirt man, he’s back to his Dudley hand me down days
But OOTP is classed as favourite drama film. Whilst Pirates wins Favourite Movie. I thought Pirates was slaughtered by audience and critics whislt OOTP was praised, yet it didnt even come in the top 3. I dont understand how these categories are defined and who is voting. Other categories have extremely shocking results too. Oh well, personally OOTP is my favourite film of the year anyway ;)
Very Cool! couldnt be more happy to see this score for the wizarding world! and Dans acceptance speech is very well done!!
Congratulations ! to the team and crew who worked so hard on OOTP to bring that wonderful book to life. You did a wondeful job and this award is very well deserved. And Thank you to all those people who helped in this film winning this award.
I taped it and everything! The ONE morning I don’t watch an awards show the morning after it airs!!!! But nooooo, I had to watch Good Morning America because Hillary and McCain won New Hampshire.
Congratulations Harry Potter Crew! Absolutely fantastic and well deserved! Also, thanks to all the “People” that voiced their opinion!
What is absolutely amazing is how mature, courteous, gracious, unpretentious, well-spoken, NORMAL, etc. Dan is, also Rupert and Emma! This is a real testimony to their parents! They are so NOT little Hollywood Brats! Thank Goodness Jo insisted on an English cast, I am so glad that she has kept such a tight rein on her creation!
ORDER OF PHOENIX really deserves it.danny was amaznggggggggg.congratulations to the crew.love u rowling..
sweet going… i thought the film was mildly boring, but that’s awesome nonetheless. congratulations!
cool deal, I’m glad they got that award and Dan was very gracious in his speech.
You can definitely tell that it’s an internet vote. Sure, good movie, but look at the competition. No Country for Old Men isn’t even considered.
Congratulations to all of the OotP cast, crew and JKR. You deserve each and every honor bestowed upon you.
Dan is such an excellent speaker and the fact that he takes the time out from his schedule to say thanks says a great deal about the kind of person he is. Now for the biased part of my post…. there is just something about him…
kanedax, i couldn’t agree more! i don’t think people’s choice awards are all that important when you consider it…
Did anyone actually watch the ceremony? I could not stop laughing… Queen Latifah certainly looked like she was having a ball.
Totally agree kanedax these awards aren’t taken that seriously. They are like the MTV Movie Awards rather than the Oscars.
But I’m glad HP won something =)
