I hope I’m saying what many of you are thinking:

In what ways is Emma a credible actress to win so many awards for her acting? I’ve seen nothing even remotely comparable to others in her field.

Yay for Dan though.

Rupert fans:

Don’t worry. This was another user voted popularity thing. Rupert is just not as popular. He can be our little treasure.

O__o What the hell? Damn, none of those kids deserve those awards! Seriously, just because they’re popular for their looks and characters doesn’t make them credible for such awards. I mean really, throw some over to other actors and actresses that can actually act. D:

I wouldn’t say that, Sue Age! I think Dan is a very wonderful actor…just not for HP. His other works are worth watching.

And I think Rupert is an untapped resource. In just the two characters he has played, wow.

It’s just Emma that bothers me. I haven’t seen anything from her that I would deem award worthy in any way.

Finally!!

I much prefer the positive news to the negative.

Congratulations Emma and Dan!

If only Emma’s last name were Damme, and Dan’s last name were Nad, then they would be as palindromic as their Otto awards!

Think they are all quite good actors but have to admit there are better out there. Personally I thought Dan was good in December Boys but ,in my humble opinion, rubbish in Harry Potter! Ooops sorry Dan fans! I think Rupert and Emma are great though. Although yes Emma does over act a little but I still cant imagine the films without her! She is the hermione I see when I read the books, so she must be doing something right (at least for me anyway!)

Hm, I think that Dan is great as Harry Potter as well. Just look at the developement…(wait is that the right word oO….my english is getting worse and worse and worse…..) If there’s a better Harry we’ll probably never know.

Rupert is just fabulous. The best they could get.

In my opinion Emma is getting better and better in every movie, but it seems to me that she puts too much effort in acting perfectly. So it looks a bit unnatural and Hermione is not really looking like Hermione. I think without that she could be really really great. She’s got the talent.

Rupert Grant did an amazing job in the HP Series. To top it off he was amazing in “Driving Lessons!”

Daniel Radcliff did an amazing job in the HP Series. To top it off he was amazing in “December Boys!”

Emma Watson did an amazing job in the HP Series. To top it off she was amazing in “Ballet Shoes”

Not to metion other threatrical productions they have been in or future film events they will partake in! Of which they work VERY hard at!

Many blessings to each and every one of you working very hard towards anything you set your heart in in a positive light which certainly sets an excellent example of determination, hard work and success!
For those who would rather be negative; Karma: Being negative = comes back at you X’s TEN

I fail to understand why Leaky continues to report these bogus awards that are merely results of popularity contests among (pre-)teens. They hold no credibility whatsoever and get boring very quickly when it’s always only Dan and Emma. Why bother, what’s the news?

Now EVERYONE who worked in the HP series did a top notch job and deserve reconition as well. Every cast memeber who has ever worked and who ever will work in the HP series gets a big applause! Not to mention where the series origionated from. It is the greatest honor to be able to have it as a part of my life the way that it is now.

Why always Rupert is the “perfect-actor-boy”and Dan and Emma are “the populars-images”for the people of the negatives comments?Dan and Emma are GREAT ACTORS and Rupert too but sadly for Rupert he’s boring and Dan and Emma are very populars and have good looks

“and Rupert too but sadly for Rupert he’s boring and Dan and Emma are very populars and have good looks”

Which shouldn’t matter when it comes to talent. These awards are popularity contests voted by teenagers with time on their hands.

Go ahead and find all of the positive critical reviews Emma has gotten that don’t mention her looks….they are small in number compared to the other two.

Dan is an amazing actor…I’ll give you that. Rupert gets the highest amount of critical acclaim in relation to the amount of films he’s done.

Emma…not so much.

Congrats to Dan….and oh well Emma as well (even though I´m not fond of her “acting”)

Just wondering: “Would those award still be considered “just-popularity-voting-awards” if Rupert won instead of Dan?

And what about Johnny Depp winning the Silver Bravo award: Did he do that because he´s the second most popular male actor, or because he´s a great actor?
