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!
I’m sorry to tell you all Julie Christie has not win the Bafta for best actress, Marion Cotillard won it, I’ve heard she is great so I’m happy for her too.
And I have to say our Dan is the best, you know how they show interviews from the red carpet and they always ask what are they wearing. Well, all the actors were acting so big headed answering very famous and expensive designers.
Then they asked Dan and he answered: “a shirt, a jacket and some trousers”.
I love the way he said that, Dan has a great sense of humor. After watching that my wife has become a fan of him.
Btw, radcakesfan I agree with you, my wife told me Alan Rickman has done some surgery on his face… and I was looking at Julie Christie, she is older and looks fantastic without any surgery.
And Daniel Day-Lewis is about 6’2”, so, yeah, he towers over our Dan.

Dan is presenting the Michael Balkan award for services to the British film industry, which I think it is very appropiate for him to present because Daniel is one of the people who has done the greatest services to the British film industry with the HP movies. Giving him to present this award is a way to recognize that too.
Brendan, Greyback will be in HBP but other actor was casted. Daniel Day-Lewis won the Bafta for best actor, but I agree with radcakesfan about his looks.
Keith, get out, no way did Alan Rickman get work on his face…did he? I am so totally shocked by that. I can see a hollywood actor doing that, but a brit?
I’m told Dan was sitting front row, too! That’s so cool, that’s like priveleged! Can anyone tell me who else had front row seats? I’d have said it was to draw viewers but that’s the creme de la creme of the acting world there! Mind you, those were all small indies that havent’ done as well in the box office and they do say the amount of money the movies make do have an effect on the viewership of htese award shows.
Thanks Nathan for telling us what award Dan was presenting. I thought that might be the one.
Daniel D is 6’2” and Dan is 5’6” ro 5’7” so yeah..is like beeb stading with a basketball player…that due is too tall!!
Dan looks so good and very well dress,
Nothing against Gary Oldman, but I’ll insist until the day I die that Daniel Day-Lewis would have been the perfect Sirius Black. This picture is just killing me.
Sorry i take it back. It went to news at 10pm for 20minutes but obviously they carried on the baftas, and we have a 20minute delay. because all sites are saying it has finished. I can’t believe OOTP didnt win anything!
It is not live, you can already see the winners in some news sites. Dan looked great and he was very sweet, he is sitting front row. OotP didn’t win, I didn’t like The Golden Compass, I can’t believe they won the best Visual Effects award…
And yeah, none of the HP trio is very tall. Oops, and Atonement won the other one… :S
