Harry Potter film series to receive special 2011 American Film Institute AFI Award
Nominations for the 2011 AFI Awards have been announced, and the Harry Potter series will be receiving a special award, as it did not fit the AFI's nomination criteria (given it was produced and directed by British filmmakers).
Quote:
AFI also gave "The Artist" and the "Harry Potter" franchise special awards, recognition that is given to films that don't meet AFI's criteria, most notably that a production must be primarily American- generated.
Quote:
The American Film Institute Awards records each year's most outstanding achievements in film, television and other forms of the moving image arts. The honorees-only gathering is the only form of national recognition that honors the creative ensemble as a whole — those in front of and behind the camera — and is popular with talent because there are no winners or losers.
The awards will be handed out at a private luncheon on January 13, 2012 in Los Angeles.
There were some Americans involved in the Harry Potter - John Williams. He is responsible for the original theme & Chris Columbus, American, is involved with the HP production. For them, I am grateful for being a part and having a memorable hand in the HP series. Yay! They deserved to be recognized for it!
There is also Steve loves for screenwriting BUT he rewrote everything so I am iffy with his role.
