KenM, boy do i ever want to see that kiss! d/e= smokin’!

I agree with the poster who said that the ladies list was weak. I wasn’t familiar with a good number of them but the thing is, there aren’t that many great roles for females, as opposed to the guys- Helen Mirren recently made a comment to that effect. As such, I can see Emma doing roles like Keira Knightly et al. She’s a young ingenue among other young ingenues and such qualified. Rupert on the other hand is among many, many young actors and doesn’t have anything on his plate except a minor role in HP (which was very minor in OotP to the point of being background= to Emma’s role (she also had a very small part -read the reviews, it wasn’t just rupert) . No one is going to consider what he did 3 or 4 years ago, and why should they? It is no longer relevant. The guys listed all had other stuff on their plate and have buzz. There are also a ton of other guys they could have easily listed but didnt’, so crying to the magazine isn’t going to help. As for choosing these guys on the basis of their looks, well, far be it from me to disagree with you tthat Jason Schwartzman and those 2 fat guys are better looking than rupert….oO…okay, remember you said it lol!

Oh yeah, i’m also irritated by these guys who are always raining on Dan and Emma’s parade. I’m calling these guys “Pooperts” Apt, or what!

I think what hurts Rupert is that after DL, things have dried up for him. He’s really done nothing since. Thus he didn’t make the list. Hp is a given, no other projects outside of HP, hurts. Emma just had Ballet shoes where she got fantastic reviews from the critics. Same with Dan, he had My Boy Jack that did well. I relly didn;t like December Boys and it really didn’t get reviewed well, that may have stopped Dan being higher on the list. But my point is, both dan and Emma have other projects outside of HP. Dan as Equus on broadway and Emma Despereaux, which is going to be highly promoted and rumored to be pushed for Oscar consideration. You’ll even be able to get Princess Pea dolls and bedroom comforters. LOL. So yeah, when Rupert does more projects and people know him more than Ron, he’ll get more recognition. But it’s not Dan and Emma’s fault. Congrats to both of them. They seem like two very well adjusted teenagers. It’s nice to see them getting attention more than the attention seeking Lohans, hiltons, etc.

Go DAN and EMMA!!! Next year they’re going to be much higher up on the list! I can’t believe Frodo was higher up on the list than Dan. No way! lol. I love Elijah, but I love DAN alot more!

I agree with your first sentence taz, that Dan and Emma have recent (ie this coming and last year) stuff besides HP and Rupert is lacking both.

but umm, I am completely baffled as to how you ‘push’ something for Oscar consideration before it’s even been made/ released or reviewed! Are you trying to tell me the Oscars are all a fix right from the start!? :o/

okay I knew they were already but you really don’t need to make it so obvious! :)

also where did you see these ‘fantastic’ or even good Ballet Shoes reviews in the newspapers? I didn’t see any, certainly not ones about Emma (the other girls, now that’s a different matter). There weren’t many reviews at all from what I saw, and (before I carry on, I must be fair to the show, the reviewers I read were all men so kind of biased against it from the start) they did sort of dismiss it as a cloying sticky toffee type of affair.

by the way, you are forgetting Dan’s well reviewed run on Equus last year, which EW seems to have noticed in the list.

There are loads of reviews at emmawatson.net. She got some amazing reviews. In fact, didn’t see one that was negative on the net. Some men didn’t like the movie on a whole but whatever. Despereuax is getting a good early buzz, mainly because of the cast and the book is really great and well respected. I’ve even read recently one critic that said if the movie is about as good as the book it should be up for picture of the year. Plus the date it’s being released is obvious. most pics that the studios want for oscar consideration are opened at the end of the year, so they won’t be forgotten by oscar voters. I really looking forward to the adaption myself, one of my favorite books. I would put it over HP as my most anticipated personally.

Despereuax is an animated film. If anything it would win Best Animated Picture.

@anne: I just mentioned those two movies of Daniel’s and compared them to the lack of mention of Thunderpants, because both were such early movies in the two actors’ careers. I think that happens to any actor. For example, I’m a fan of James McAvoy but I definitely don’t know his earlier work as well as I do his more recent stuff. But I get your point. I wouldn’t dream of Daniel going on about Gary Oldman’s performance in The Scarlet Letter (horrible movie).

I agree with you on the whole DL and Ballet Shoes thing. There were some points in Ballet Shoes where Emma was so genuine, and I wish that she could portray that in the HP films. But she mostly overacted, and I agree that her costars outshined her. I think Rupert shows great promise, but he won’t come into his own until the HP films are done. Then he’ll be on his own and fans won’t be able to blame Dan and Emma anymore. He can do it.

I can’t wait to see who’s where of these three in five or ten years. I think it could very well be a very different story. I tend to think Daniel will still be in the movie/theatre business, but I’m not so sure about Emma, if her performances to date are any indication. Rupert seems to be the sort of person who’ll be there IF he chooses to be. Any roles he’s done, he’s done well (his Ron is superb and very canon-based, in spite of the script trying to depict him otherwise). On the other hand, Rupert’s not as much into the superficial glitz and sparkle of the business, so he may choose to live mostly on all the money he’s made in his young life so far, and contribute something more important to the world. Only time will tell, as they say.

@enzie I can sort of see Rupert doing well on UK television dramas and indy films in the future. That doesn’t require glitz but it does require talent. Dan I can see on the stage, even Shakespeare in his 30s, period dramas on TV or indy films. Dan will become more low key like Rupert I think; he’s got an intelligent attitude towards his career and knows the glitz isn’t going to last and that he’ll have to work hard to build a reputation. Emma, I just don’t know.

@LLMM ok, cool, though I wish David Copperfield did get mentioned more as it is definitely a positive in his portfolio. :)

@taz Thanks for the link. But um… I found only three proper reviews there: the FT and Scotsman ones are good; you realize The Telegraph one is tongue in cheek, esp. with the irony at the end? There are negative ones, two in the Times (the ‘sticky toffee’ one plus another), a middling Daily Record, and the almost angry Guardian one. They’re not dreadful, but they’re hardly complimentary. So with that average I’d say middling, not amazing or fantastic. Sorry, I’m not wanting to be mean, I quite enjoyed it and thought Emma had some really good moments; her Shakespeare audition I thought was beautifully done.

I still don’t get this ‘pics that the studios want for oscar consideration’ bit! That just isn’t how award nominations should come about. You don’t plant a movie for consideration. You make a good movie. That makes the American film industry seem really cynical.

At the end of the day, Rupert is a better actor then Dan and Emma combined and James, Oliver and Mathew are all way better looking and are probably better actors then Dan if given the chance. So why oh why were they included in this list?

Kerrie, that is only YOUR opinion, certainly not mine nor others. I do not think rupert is a better actor and I say Dan is the best looking actor in the crew and that includes the women ! Dan and Emma are obviously included in that list because they are among those actors that seem to hae bright futures, other prospects in the future.

Why, oh why should you even say such a nonsensical thing? Obviously, They have done nothing to deserve being on this particular list.

radcakesfan, that is only YOUR opinion, certainly not mine nor others.

(Isn’t it interesting that some people believe their opinion is the only valid one there is, when there are so many more out there?)

why do some of you complain because rupert’s fans point out the obvious. ?not every one is putting dan or emma down because they made “the list”. i’m sure if the shoe were on the other foot, dan and emma fans would be screaming like banshis about the complete lack of recognition. so please don’t cop a holier than thou attitude when it comes to rupert being constantly overlooked. his fans are only making thier voices heard. if it annoys you, here’s an idea, just skip over it.

O here comes Kerrie, the Rupert lover. lol

My dear, at the end of the day that “Rupert is the better actor” is only your opinion. Very very minor compared to the opinion of the great many others, like this website who does not seem to think that Rupert is a good actor . And at the end of the day, it is the opinion of the media and the critics which hold more sway. This site even included some actors I’ve never heard of before. Instead of Rupett, HOw come they’ included Elijah Kelly who is practically a nobody and is just supporting like Rupert? Figure that out…

@radcakesfan: You know what’s nonsensical? Shipping people. (“d/e= smokin’!”) That and HHR.
