well babycakes, it hasn’t stopped Equus from being brought to NYC! And seeing as how DL was the first project that was done once school was done for that actor, how odd that rupert hasn’t had any other projects since. HOw many years ago was that done?
don’t kid yourself either, it’s not just the actor choosing the job, they have to want the actor.
Also you are soo right about online voting being easy to manipulate, especially when one fanbase sucks up to the webmaster who then manipulates the vote by changing the rules midstream and deleting votes for other people. Hmm, i wonder who won that poll??? (hint: t’weren’t the two people who just won a gold otto)

Same with DB. And it is Dan’s fans who have that attitude in the first place. Things are only getting even now so you complain :)

If some fanbase did not withdraw, we would have known who would prevail. If Rupert did not win it, the Jonas Bros would have. Even at garnering second to Rupert, you would not accuse their fanbase of sucking up to the webmaster too now would you?

Question, what attitude are you talking about? No we know Dan isn’t perfect. That doesn’t give anyone the right to bash him (or emma) the way they do because he gets more attention and lines. If certain jealous fans didn’t say anything rude about some actors, their fans wouldn’t be saying anything about Rupert, there’d be no need.
As for the poptart or whatever poll, you should know. the webmaster kept you guys apprised of everything he was doing and admitted his bias. I believe he mentioned later he should have been harder on uh, a certain fanbase. He did do a lot of work in erasing/deleting allll those jonas boys votes *nods * Did the other fanbases ever find out, i wonder? Good thing it wasn’t a legit award or anything.

I never said that Dan didn’t deserve an award. Even though I believe Rupert is the best actor, Dan comes a close second. The only problem I have is with Emma winning awards when she shows next to no talent. Did you see her in her first scene in OOTP!? She was breathing like she just run a marathon! Her over-acting of every scene is not only tedious to watch but a complete joke when you look at the awards she has won.

I am Australian and can I just say that Dan’s performance in December Boy’s was a complete joke. He spent 6 months learning an Australia accent and he couldn’t even pull it off! I think he should stick to British movies until he has more experience outside Harry Potter.

Ok,i see this: 1.the rupert’s fans are a bit arrogants,for them Rupert is the best in awards,performance , looks and Dan and Emma NEVER deserve more. 2.why always you are in the comparasion “Dan-Rupert”?Dan has proved that he is becoming in a fine actor and Rupert has done only 1 film non-potter.Dan cleary wins. 3.if Rupert wants be in the same level of popularity and attention of Dan and Emma,he could have more things non-potter and be more funny.

radcakesfan you are making things up. the webmaster of popstar deleted entries from all fanbases including rupert’s, jonas brothers, vanessa hudgens etc. even rupert’s fans complained of many of their entries getting deleted according to his whims! the jonas brothers’ fanbase knew about everything but the other fanbases did not really care much! all you are saying are just your theories and assumptions trying to put two and two together from what you ‘spy’ on rupert’s fansites. you should have gone to the jonas brother’s fansites too so you would have known and shut up now. you dont know anything, too bad your fanbase was out of the loop so you just pick up scraps of information and try to piece them together. pathetic.

Silly innocent deluded 12 year old… i did read the boards…that’s how we know what was happening. That was a prime example of how not to run a poll/contest. (you’d probably would be fired ) This is also where the lie is that certain fans are as laid back and easygoing as their idol. Look back and compare it with say, the Empire sexy list. No one knew who would make the list and people complaining about who made it afterwards were simply told that those were the people who had the numbers. It’s not usual to be told you need x number of votes. There were lots of irregularities -rather eyeopening experience in the HP world lol!
Your new word of the day: impartiality.

Why is everybody taking sides for a fight that doesn’t exist! If the trio support and celebrate each others achievements why shouldn’t we?

babycakes, Equus was sold out every night, it was the only play that year that got the highest sales compare to the other plays, I went to see Dan two weeks before the show ended and I couldn’t get good sits on the front, the only availables were on the back which I got them, but every night was a sold out show…that was one of the reason why why Broadway wanted the play in NY.

Lexie, that’s wiers, becasue the only good thing about DB was Dan’s performance, the critics were the ones that said perfectly, the only good thing about DB was Dan’s performance, he was the one who got rave reviews (no so much the movie) .. and WI never expected to have DB more than 3 weeks in the US theaters compare to what Road Village did with the movie internationally…3 weeks 50,000 for only 4 theaters it is not a bad number compare to the final tally amount DB got with less theaters than DL.

babycakes: If you have doubts about Dan’s popularity and that he really doesn’t have both box office power and media appeal, then what does that make Rupert? Since he’s even a tad below Emma in both departments, you chouldn’t look down on Dan so much since your own boy is not a player in the big arena of showbusiness.

I totally agree with Olivia!!
Why is everybody stil arguing about that?? You said your opinion and now give it a rest.

i think emma watson is the best out of all of them because she is a mature person who cares more about her education then about acting. To me she is a great example and i look up to her so much. congradulations on your award for best female. You deserved it!!!!!!!!!!!

“with only one film in 7 year is difficult that he gets more attention than Dan and Emma.” What’s Emma done? Ballet Shoes!? A made for tv movie? Are you being serious?

You know, it would be lot easier to actually feel sorry for Rupert if his fans didn´t have that “Rupert-is-PERFECT-he-can´t-do-no-wrong” attitude
NONE of the trio is PERFECT
oh..and babycakes: as for Equus not being sold out every night. I´m guessing that DL played in total filled theaters alllllllll over the world. (eyeroll)
