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!
“OMG…i’ve never realized how short Daniel was. He’s like slightly large midget.

Dan is taller than me, and I’m not a midget. This shortism is ridiculous.
And as for Daniel D-L, lovely when he was younger, but he didn’t gain much weight over the years and looks a bit ragged to me. As brilliant as ever, though.
(SPOILER here for those not wanting to know who won what for the BIG prize) I’d have liked it to win Visual Effects, but the standard wasn’t as consistent as the Golden Compass. And I’m pleased Atonement won Best Production Design as it was excellent too. And it won best film deservedly! :)
Amy, the one who won the award was Barry Wilkinson for his outstanding contribution for British film industry, he has worked in the HP movies too.
So in a way, someone related with the HP movies won.
Daniel Day-Lewis mentioned Dan in his speech, how cool is that? :D
He said somehing like “my kids will take me seriously now that I’ve been taken a photo with Dan”.
I think he could have played Sirius or Voldemort or any other character, he is so good. So I know hwat you mean, but Gary and Ralph do a great job so we can not really complain. Maybe they give him a role in the last movie, if they would have included the Gaunts…
Yaaaaayy!! Dan! I love both of them. But I’m really really upset that OOTP didn’t win atleast one of those awards. I mean seriously, NO ONE even went to see the Golden Compass and from what I saw the visual effects weren’t that great. Nothing can top that battle scene in the ministry as far as I’m concerned. And I saw Atonement and Stuart Craig’s production on OOTP was way better. I mean seriously! And i completely agree with Dan about the Baftas being better than the Oscars because the stupid Oscars didn’t even give OOTP one nomination, so they SUCK!
But anyways, I wonder if I get that channel that the Baftas is coming on? The Grammys comes on tonight too, but I think I would rather watch the Baftas and the red carpet show for the Baftas is going to be on E! at 7pm tomorrow night, so hopefully I will get to see DAN!
Celia, it is supposed to be shown by the CBC (Canadian broadcasting channel) in canada so if you get that channel, you can see Dan there! Whoo hoo! Of course there’s Youtube- should be showing up anytime now…
Wow! Dan Rad is really a big superstar now. He sat in the front row. And was mentioned at least two times by the presenters and winners. He also dazzled at the red carpet too. That joke of “jacket, tie and shoes” was hilarious. Serves that commentator right. Putting on designer clothes for events like this really puts the pressure on celebrities. That was a gentle sarcasm from Dan.
BTW, I heard that Dan comitted some error while he was presenting. Can anyone tell me what it is? He looks very gorgeous anyway but so short compared to Day Lewis. lol
chelsea what was the error? cause i thought he looked adorable up there lol but ur totally rite in the fact that hes a superstar im just happy and proud that he hasnt let it go to his head
o wait never mind i found the error! sorry lol he was congrats him and he miss read the audio lol adorable though he just carried on like nothing happened awwww omg can any1 b more perfect
"You'll soon find out some wizarding families are much better than others, Potter. You don't want to go making friends with the wrong sort. I can help you there."
