I find it hilarious that anyone who can’t find a better argument calls everyone who puts Emma in a negative light a “hater”.

Uh, yes. ‘Hating’ means you don’t like something… so obviously they are “haters”. That’s just stupid and redundant.

I think Emma is popular, but not because of her talent. She certainly deserves all these popularity awards, but in no way does that make her “best actress” in any shape or form, especially not over Helena Bonham Carter, Clair Danes, Nicole Kidman and Gwyneth Paltrow.

I say she can’t act worth a damn, and portrays Hermione’s character in a shallow and inexpressive way. The only thing that moves is her eyebrows. The movie-Hermione is either angry or smiles prettily. I’m sure Emma would fare well in other careers.

Calling me a hater? Jealous? Not really, I have to admit. I have better things to do than to care about careers of small celebrities.

I don’t hate Emma but i do hate her ‘acting’. She is awful and 2-dimensional in her portrayal of Hermione. She does not deserve an award for acting (especially over the other actresses). I’m sorry but those that voted for her are either blind, stupid or have no idea what good acting is.

That are very good news, go Jo and Emma.

Emma is a very good and convincing actor of Hermione, she is inteligent, sensible, a good friend and exellent student.

Helena and Nicole are exellent too, but well Emma won over them and she well deserves it.

Personally, I think Emma’s a wonderful actress and completely deserves this award. I just sort of wonder why people think she’s such a terrible actress when she beat hundreds of other girls for the role of Hermione and the last time I went to the movie theatre she was in previews for three different movies. Plus she’s a good role model seeing as she never gets into any trouble like many other actresses do which is especially good seeing as she was a child actress. Way to go Emma and Congrats to Jo too!

I bet 99.99% of so called “Emma-haters” don’t even hate Emma at all, but are just not content with her acting. That’s how I feel. Yes, Emma is a great role model, she’s pretty, she’s nice, but can she act? Not really.

All you Emma fans are just clinging onto YOUR opinion, you don’t understand that other people have opinions that are different too.

Again, most “Emma-haters” don’t even hate Emma. They just don’t like her acting.

Congrats to all the OotP crew and cast. They all helped Emma and Jo. They deserve the awards. Emma is a great actress. Shes known as “one take Watson” for a reason.

Yay for Emma fans. I’m congratulating her more than the Emma herself who probably knows her limitations in acting. I do feel bad that Bonham Carter didn’t win. Granted that Carter is not an excellent actress but she is miles ahead of Watson. But as I’ve said before, you can’t discount the dedication of the Emma fans. They’re among the most active when it comes to Internet voting.

And why didn’t Dan win? If it’s a matter of popularity, isn’t he more popular than Johnny Depp? Okay, I take that back. Depp is in a league of his own. Besides, the Dan fans don’t seem to care for this kind of fan awards anymore. But hey, let me put all the blame on myself. I should have voted on this thingy everyday – or every hour. But I guess, like many Dan fans , I don’t find fan awards as gratifying as much as I used to. Guess we all have to grow up some time.

Helen, Of course Dan’s more popular than Johnny Depp! I mean, Johnny Depp’s great and everything – and I like him a lot! but in this kind of thing I would automatically vote for Dan – If it was me or Dan in any award I would still automatically vote for Dan!
