I don’t understnad how the less talented of all the younger actors in the one who gets a nomination… lol
She doesn’t even play Hermione, she plays a posh, “fashionable” girl she invented…
Okay, seriously, enough is enough. Emma Watson does not deserve all these nominations. AND WHY THE HELL IS RUPERT GRINT SO UNDERRATED? BY GOD, I BET ITS BECAUSE HES A GINGER.

Forget about these nominations, what’s a joke is that you have to PAY to vote!.. I’m sorry but this seems as much a scam to me as those things where you have to pay some money because you won some lottery that you didn’t even enter (and end up not receiving any prizemoney either by the way!) If this was a serious award, surely the costs would be picked up by business sponsers and not the people who would want to vote. Considering the number of Emma’s fans, I shudder to think of the greed of the “contest” holders.
The other thing is that considering how little she had to do in the movie, i don’t think she should win, unless she was up against actresses in similarly tiny /side roles. If any were a real lead actress, well….)shakes head)
It’s nothing to do with him being ginger, he’s too quiet and shy for the media to notice. He is the best actor of the 3, but he’s just too quiet to be of interest but when Harry is over, Rupert will be the one with the guaranteed career. Dan will disappear and Emma will be a celebrity/ fashion icon.
Don’t fret about Rupert, his future’s bright and these awards are rubbish anyway, everyone knows who’s got the most talent so these things are meaningless really.
“Don’t fret about Rupert, his future’s bright and these awards are rubbish anyway, everyone knows who’s got the most talent so these things are meaningless really.”
Sooo..Julie, you´re a fortune teller..wow…Amazing…You know the truth is that NOBODY knows what will happend in the future.
“everyone knows who`s got the most talent”
I´m soooooo happy to tell you that I´m NOT a part of “everyone”
“So these things are meaningless really”
So, if Rupert actually DID make all those best/popular lists, they will still be “meaningless”?
“Dan will disappear”sorry Julie but WHATT??Dan has done 3 differents roles out of HP,in September will be in Broadway,he will be Dan Eldon,he could be nominated for one Emmy and one Tony.Rupert has done so much things like Dan?NO.Dan is the best of the trio
hiya julie! heh, i’m with Sonja and Sarah. Dan and Emma are nowhere near disappearing lol. There’s practically a year before hp starts up again- looks like Dan and Emma are going to be busy enough. They are alreay moving on.
Julie, sorry to say this, but talent alone never guarantees success. Depressing, eh, but that’s life. So it’s not a given who will go on to more success, never mind who is the best or has(n’t) talent. Success has more to do with opportunity and luck, and the ability to sell yourself can actually count.
IMO they are all good and all also have their weaknesses, including Rupert. They also have gaps in experience because they did not go to stage school. At least Dan recognizes this by employing a coach for certain skills that HP can’t give him. It’ll be another 5 to 10 years before any of them builds up a portfolio strong and varied enough to forge a career on. That’s what they need to do, regardless of talent.
I’ll add that Emma has the chance to fill gaps in her acting experience if she goes to Cambridge Uni as planned and joins the Footlights, which launched many an acting career (including Thompson, Fry, Laurie, Cleese, Idle). She’ll be able to get some stage experience. Dan also reads a lot and has a literature tutor, which will stand him in good stead if he wants to do more stage work.
Give the poor girl a break…I really hope she stays clear of this site and all you “haters” and “critics” who have gone overboard with your negativity. If the director doesn’t like the way someone is portraying something then it is his or her responsibility to act upon it . I am sure that if Emma decided not to finish the remaining movies MORE people will be disappointed than the handful of people complaining. I for one, when reading the books, see not only her but the rest of the actors in my mind and do not
wonder whether an eyebrow is being raised during a scene.
No one complained about Frodo’s eyebrows !!!
Ok, im watching GoF right now, and i dont understand this whole ’’eyebrow-acting’’ thing.
I know ive said that its a bit annoying, but heres the thing.
How in Merlins pants are you supposed to act without eyebrows !?
if youre playing mad, and youre not using the eyebrows, it would be like using botox to prevent ’’acting-with-your-eyebrows’’ !
Can you show youre angry or anxious without moving your eyebrows?
My brother just showed me how, and it involved the middle finger…Now i dont know, but this all seems just a wee bit odd. Like why are we even discussing it ;D (yes i know alot of you will probably answer that question, but i dont care ;)
The thing is, Emma is a good actress who is still learning, and learning good ;)
“Can you show youre angry or anxious without moving your eyebrows? My brother just showed me how, and it involved the middle finger…”
ROFL, that’s excellent!
I saw Imelda Staunton in a scene, I can’t remember what programme now, it may even have been HP, which worked because of a single eyebrow movement. Without it, it wouldn’t have worked.
Yeah, as I’m not a Rupert fan AT ALL, I still think he has the most natural talent and will be successful, IMO Dan won’t last, and Emma will be a style icon more than anything. Of course I don’t know what the future will be, but I’m usually right on my hunches, so I’m going with what I’ve said, if I’m wrong, I’m wrong, I’ve no ego about it.
These type of awards are meaningless, when they’ve done a challenging role, like Dan in Equus, then I’ll take them seriously.
I’m actually only a Daniel fan, but a realistic one!!!
Emma is a great actress, and in my opinion the best of the three. The stuff I have read in the comments here are the most ridiculous comments I have ever read. From the “popularity contests” to “anti-ginger” conspiracies. Just be happy for Emma, and her being nominated has NOTHING to do with Rupert not being nominated. Be mad at the people running these award ceremonies, not an actress who not only has NOTHING to do with the guy not being nominated, but is a FRIEND of the actor you all love. How do you think Rupert would feel if he saw all of you giving his friends a hard time? Which is why I am glad none of the trio likely read these comments., because they would be annoyed if they did.
"Worrying about poor 'ickle goblins, now, are you?" Ron asked Hermione. "Thinking of starting up S.P.U.G. or something? Society for the Protection of Ugly Goblins?"[br]"Ha, ha, ha," said Hermione sarcastically.
