HAVE SAID MY PEACE THANKS JOHN

Billy writes,”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?”

It always amazes me when non-showbiz types think they know more than producers, directors, and casting directors.

You have to pay to vote in this?! what a jip

WELL SAID WILSON COULDNT AV PUT IT BETTER MYSELF

@ mione- I don`t think it matters if the trio are in school or not. Rupert and Dan deserve this award just as much as Emma. Even more than Emma actually. In my opinion, she sucks at acting and needs to be told about that. I bet she just feels so great when she gets nominated. She shouldn’t because her acting is too over-the-top and dramatic. I’m so effing sick of her that I can’t even watch the movies without making a flipping comment about her stupid acting. GOSH.

I don’t think Emma can act at all. Dan was bad but is getting much, much better. Rupert could always act and is great.

It was quite amusing actually when I was watching the 5th film and it got to the part where the trio start laughing about the kiss. And I thought OMG maybe Emma CAN act!!! Then later I found out that the laughing was all real! I thought that explained a lot.

WILSON and JOHN:

If you notice, most, in fact, almost all of these “HATERS” as you think we are, are actually not HATING. We’re voicing an OPINION. Just like you did. We, however, did not try to insult every commenter and belittle them. Take a step back, kindly, and actually READ the posts. If you do, you’ll understand that we all LIKE Emma very much, we just don’t like she’s a good actress. That’s ALL. That does not mean we are jealous or petty, and that does not mean that we are all GIRLS.

And since you have belittled me and my profession (yes, my profession!) I have to fight the urge to do so to you as well. It may come as a shock to you, but not everyone is as in love with her as you seem to be.

And yes, we all want her to improve, we wish it. We acknowledge her faults. And please, for the love of heaven: I have not come on here boasting I am an amazing actor. ALL I have been trying to do is add an opinion from someone who is involved in the theatre professionally.

If that mature point of arguing is too much for you, however, I understand. I guess not everyone can see that one criticism does NOT equal outright hatred.

Just to add, Wilson and John:

I would gladly post my resume if I thought it would change your opinion of me. I could refer you to past directors and cast and crew if I thought it would make a different. But it won’t, and you know it won’t. You’ve already decided in your head that I’m just some jealous little Emma-hating pretender, and no amount of credit will change that.

I say I’m an actor so people won’t say, “Oh what do you know, are you an actor?” “Well, yes…” Now I say that, and people laugh at me for not being famous and therefore I am jealous. What a world we live in.

Oh, but I’ve made a typo! Different should have been difference! Guess that just makes me stupid and therefore unqualified to speak. e_e eyeroll

i think emma is a brilliant actress and she deffiental deserves the award people always say daniel radclif is brill and rupretgrint to but i dont think emma gets accnologed enough

i disagree with danielle and billy

emma so deserves the award. cuz she puts so much hard work into what she does.

i think shes brill and she deffently deserves the award.

hope u win emma xoxo

heya! my name is billy, too, but i’m totally not the billy trashing watson up there. i’ve posted things here before, and i don’t want anyone to think i’m that harsh! just for clarification.

i actually think, as someone who minored in acting at college (only 6 years ago!) that an actor can really effectively use subtle eyebrow affectations to achieve a decent end. apparently i’m in the minority, but there you go.

Emma is soooo bad as hermione…..she does not portray the character well!!! ughhhh!!

I love this thread. I agree with everyone who says that Emma is beautiful, charming, and popular….but she does not have enough talent to win so many awards. Not at all.

And to John and Wilson:

Most of the people who post on Leaky are older, professional, educated, and of all types of sexes. You are generalizing, which always makes a weak point.

Show us where Emma or anything she’s done has won an award not based on popularity…becaus the truth is she hasn’t. And she shouldn’t.

Dan has. Rupert’s move Driving Lessons won indie awards.

Emma can’t because she doesn’t have the chops. Not yet anyways. And it makes me sick that you can get so much recognition over much more talented coworkers just because everyone seems to like you.
