Congrats to all! even though I love Emma I think its weird to give her awards for he role of Hermione in OOTP. Hermione is my favorite character in the books and she’s such a big part of OOTP book,and in the film I was like- where is Hermione!?(and same goes for Ron). so its weird to give her award for best actress. but I want many awards for her and others-so congrarts once again!

And why isn’t the article about Helena Bonham Carter’s four relatives passing up yet? My condolences to everyone on the bus and to her. ):
