YES!

NICE

I really DO think Emma Watson is underrated by the fans…

Ok, I know she has an eyebrow problem, but c’mon, she’ll grow out of it!!

That is so cool! Good job guys! I have to say that I don’t think that OotP is science fiction, but that’s okay.

YES! THEY ARE FINALLY RECOGNIZING EMMA! I personally think that Dan gets all the credit and Emma and Rupert aren’t recognized enough.

GO EMMA!!!!!!!

Great Job OOTP, this has got to be a record almost for the most nominations for any HP film so far. Good luck to Emma, she Daniel and Rupert are exceptional actors who are really growing to be great actors. Jany Temime – she deserves an award so badly, the costumes for these movies , ever since she took over after 2, the costumes are phenomenal. Not saying the ones in the first 2 werent but they have just been so pretty. What I wouldnt give to have Bellatrix’s costume, I love it its sooo cool and seductive.

The “eyebrow problem” is called Brow Acting. And trust me, as an actor, its not something you go out of—its a bad habit, like biting your fingernails. Emma was just never schooled and trained, and no director seemed to take initiative to stop her brow acting before it became a problem. She’s going to have to work very very hard to train herself out of that.

In spite of this, I think she’s adorable, and I do wish the best for her.

I do think, however, that she and Dan seem to reap all these awards—Rupert is just as deserving, if not more so.

I am glad for her nomination, but what really bothers me is that in any award shows, they always underrate Rupert, i do too think that he is just as deserving as the others, in my opnion more!!! but anyway, (this is not about rup) congrats emma!!

It’s nice to see Emma get all these nominations. I couldn’t understand all the people who said she was horrible in OOP.

Oh, fantastic. Yet another tin-pot, mickey mouse award for Emma, to fuel her delusion that she actually has some acting talent. How much longer will we be afflicted with her over-emphasising, wooden delivery and eyebrow-acting?

@ redreh, I agree with what you say completely. Congrats to OotP! :D

I think that Rupert and Dan should get recognized a lot more though. :( It’s a shame that Rupert is not recognized ENOUGH. He’s a talented actor, and … *sighs. Yeah. :( Maybe he’ll shine through Half-Blood Prince. :D

@ Billy- Wow! Now THAT’S how I feel! redreh’s comment was a little too nice, but yours is how I TRULY feel. :D “to fuel her delusion that she actually has some acting talent….” Exactly. EXACTLY! =)

Ouch, Billy. That’s a bit harsh.

Yay, Emma! Congrats on the nomination!

Emma’s ok…but Rose McGowan in Grindhouse totally pwns the entire category. SHE’S AMAZING! But I do love the costumes! Good luck to Ms. Temime!
