As we reported earlier, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix has been nominated for two awards at the British Academy of Film and Television Awards, with recognition in the “Special Visual Effects,” and “Production Design” categories. Those awards were presented tonight in London, England, with actor Dan Radcliffe (Harry Potter) in attendance (shown here with acclaimed actor Daniel Day – Lewis). UPDATE: Dan was set to present an award tonight, and news reports say the “Harry Potter star Radcliffe got one of the biggest cheers of the night from the crowd.” He said: “I’m very excited. I’ve never been to the Bafta’s before. This is great, even better than the Oscars because it’s British. I’m so excited about all these amazing people that turn up.” UPDATE 2: The awards have now been completed, however there is disappointing news, as OotP lost out on both their nominations, with wins going to The Golden Compass for Visual Effects and Atonement for Production Design. UPDATE 3: Thanks to our Order partner DanRadcliffe.com, you can now see video of Dan at the ceremony tonight. You can see more of Dan at this event, as well as nominated actress Julie Christie (Madam Rosmerta) here in our galleries.
The awards are being broadcast in the UK on the BBC, with the US to see the broadcast of the show on cable channel BBC America tonight at 8pm (ET). Actor Jason Isaacs (Lucius Malfoy) is also among those due to attend, as he will be presenting an award. Anyone who can capture video of the ceremony, please send it in!
cool I love both Daniel Day Lewis and Daniel Radcliffe, both very good british actors. And Jason will be there too- cool hes such a handsome hottie, Lucky Helen she gets to play his wife! extemely eager for more HBP news! and PICS!!!
Em daniel is about 5’6 or 5’7 from what all his biography say so i dont no if u would consdier that short i kinda do but his acting and his eyes(faints) totally make up 4 it!
Oooh I wonder why Dan’s there… maybe he’s presenting? And that picture of the two Daniels is quite hilarious, poor Mr Radcliffe looks a little short doesn’t he ;)
I’m not sure if I’ll be watching the BAFTAs or the Grammys tonight… maybe flicking back and forth would be a good idea… :)
OMG my two favorites Daniels together!!!
Both look great, our Dan has become a very handsome young man.
I really like his hair. In the pics from Gloucerster filming it is combed different because he is playing Harry so he is in character, and it looked great for Harry, and it’s very good too.
And yes, Daniel Day-Lewis is a very very tall man, and he is very very thin too, he is not very proporcional. I don’t know if he was asked to play Voldemort, but he is one of the few important British actors who are not in the HP movies. I don’t know what role he could play in the last movie…
I’m very happy Dan got one of the biggest cheers of the night!
It’s incredible it’s the first time he attends the Baftas, I remember previous years other HP actors attended and I guess he was busy filming. I hope he has a great time.
Aw roonwit I would love to see a pic of Dan and Alfonso, I haven’t seen him together since PoA times! I know Cuaron attended several HP premieres after that but there were not pics.
Daniel Day Lewis comes off rather poorly compared to young Dan and compared to how he used to look. It’s depressing how old he looks- he was beautiful when he was younger. On the other hand, i hope he never goes for cosmetic surgery like Robert redford and other male stars have done-they , like the women , just look so weird or unnatural.
Dan looked great. Is he that short…or is that other Dan just that tall?..lol
