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

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?

Congrats Dan and Emma! It’s good to see them get recognized for their hardwork. Emma doesn’t deserve the hare dhe gets so it makes these awards even more special.

I agree with you Bec, although I dont think Dan is a ‘rubbish’ actor. He wasnt that good to begin with I admit, but he has definately got better. Personally I thing these awards are a load of rubbish. What nonsense, anyone with an ounce of sense would not give them much credit. And for those who wonder why Rupert never gets awards well, although many people do love Dan and Emma (after all most of these awards are simply popularity contests) it is worth bearing in mind that they have also been heavily critized for there portrayl of their characters in the past (you only have to read some of the comments to realise that). Whereas Rupert not so much.

Also I think they gather more attention simply because Dan is the lead and Emma is kind of the leading female.

I have to honestly say Emma Watson doesn’t deserve an away. I am not trying to be mean, its just that I don’t think she’s a very good actress. I think its alway Emma and Dan winning the award because Daniel’s the star and Emma’s the girl. Rupert’s always left out, and he’s the only one who’s believeable as an actor. I honestly think Rupert deserves an award way more than the other too, i mean HELLLO he’s in the movies too, he only wins awards if its all three of them or the movies winning awards, its completely unfair. I LOVE WON WON.

Of course! When anyone can vote, you can’t trust the world to go on talent. Tilda Swinton has never one a votable award, but she won a damn oscar.

It’s a popularity contest no matter who wins, I’m just mad that the winners sometimes seem to be lacking.

Exactly! He gets GREAT reviews. It’s never negative. Well, I haven’t seen a negative one for his portrayal of Ron yet. Heck, even when Driving Lessons was being canned, he was still considered very VERY good.

Dan is really great in his other projects. And he wowed me in OotP.

Hmm…I dont think this is a very credable award. But you know what always strikes me with awards like these is that SO many Rupert fans complain about him always getting left out ect.. but then why dont YOU vote for him?! So many of these awards are voted for by the public… It is strange. Maybe Emma and Dan’s fans are just more devout and Rupert fans are lazy buggers! lol

I wouldn’t whine about Rupes not getting an award voted in by anyone an everyone. That’s not his style. Rupes fans are a little lazy…we’re channelling him. I would be mad if Dan or Emma got credible recognition and Rupes didn’t. But that hasn’t happened.

Eruditewitch I wasnt talking about you particually, just commenting. And I really am not slagging off Rupert fans, I am one of them! lol. But I do think that, as each of the trio are very different, so are there fans.

Oh I agree! I think they are very different. I actually did some looking into it regarding age and personality. Rupert fans tend to be a little older, a little calmer, and just different. I’m part of Rupert fan communities, and we just gawk at pictures, talk about his roles, and cross our fingers for more scripts.

There’s not much voting, screaming, fainting, or anything like that. It’s just kind of the Converse’s and Dirty Jeans of the fan community. Much like Rupes himself.
