i agree with Rupes.. neither do i expect any oscar for harry potter... the popularity of saga all over the world is enough of the award..

Rupert has a point and as does Ronaldx.
Just because it wasn't nominated for a million things doesn't mean it's not an awesome movie!

I, also, agree with Rupert. The movie is just too awesome...it doesn't need an Academy Award.

I think they both make valid points. I don't think the kids or really any of the cast probably expect awards ... but as far as the visuals go it would be nice if they got recognition because the movies always look INCREDIBLE!

As far as not recognizing them it is a friggen HUGE deal and makes a crap load of money... why not throw some love there way? Oh well no one watches the AA anyways

that's such rubbish. I can't believe they haven't won any Oscars. In the end it doesn't really matter tho, because all the world knows how great the movies are and how much hard work as been put into it!

The HP films doesn't need awards, it's still awesome.

Oh wow! I totally agree with Rupert and Richard! I mean, surely they should have received an Oscar before now. And their acting in DH I was great! Ah well! The fact that they're nominated for two Oscars is still a huge achievement! And both Rupert and Richard look great at the South Bank Sky Arts Awards! Especially Rupert!

HP is awesome, really awesome- but once films like this started reciveing big artistic/acting awards in ceremonies such as the Oscars- films like Twilight would be on the way to doing so too (they're good and all just not that good) and they just don't deserve them in terms of artistic ability. I can understand why these big award committees will be reluctant to give artistic awards to actors in these sort of franchises. :/ even though I do wish they'd get more recognition to be honest.

Rupert and Richard both make good points, but you know what award or no award, I'd trade those other actors for our Harry Potter ones any day. Our Harry Potter actors got heart and soul, something the academy always igonores (and talent of course), but oh well I don't work for the academy so I can't be the one to talk..

<3 Potter always x

The Academy Awards have proved time and time again, that a movies popularity counts for nothing. Which is really sad. Look at The Dark Knight just a few years ago. It got nothing, when that movie was the highest grossing film of the year. HP-HBP was pushed back on its release date because Warner Bros. didn't need the extra money. That movie filled there entire quota!

Getting back to the point, it doesn't matter what the people like at these type of awards. But Rupert is right, the franchise is completely humble to its fans, and the recognition they've gotten is a award in of itself.

The Academy Awards are about behind-the-scenes movie politics. They do not always give the awards to the biggest movies. Plus, I believe the AAs holds some prejudice towards fantasy films in general. They took forever to acknowledge Lord of the Rings. Maybe that's what they are doing for HP, specifically DH - Part 2.

Totally agree with them!!!!!!♥

the movie doesnt need awards....it has all the fans.

I totally agree, but ultimately Oscars aren't that much of big deal really are they?

I think the fans and the money they spend on seeing the films speaks volumes

Yeah, HP doesn't need an Oscar to show its worth...even though I watch the Oscars anyway (just for the pure entertainment the hosts provide ).

I agree with Rupert!

Hopefully we can get a lot of awards for the last HP movie!

It would be nice if it could win at least one Oscar, but I won't be disappointed if it doesn't. The quality of a movie isn't expressed in the number of Oscar's it wins Moreover I think that Oscar's are given to moveis which need to be promoted in some way. The HP series clearly doesn't belong in that categoty

I agree with both. Its the last film! Give Harry Potter some last minute respect!!

I guess they figure there's way too much of an ensemble feel to single out one person for acting honors.

I'm with Richard on this one. We NEED to win at least one Oscar!

Maybe they will pull a "Lord of the Rings" on them. They really didn't honor the first two "LotR" movies much but then the last one received best picture. Unfortunately, I don't think they would go that far but maybe they will get cinematography at least. Maybe best score??

Well, Being nominated (which Harry Potter did 7 times since philosoher stone) is a very good recognition, and that's the same thing for every movie. Winning is nothing once you've been nominated.

But, I do agree with the Academy on the movies they chose every year, because most of the time, they are right: the movies nominated for most of the great awards are pretty good, sometimes the best ones of the year.

But I also algree to say that the Academy have some prejudice toward the fantasy movies, and the Lord of the Rings was EXCEPTIONAL, Even if I think Harry Potter movies should get recognition, I don't expect one, because the movies are a lot more teenage-like than the Lord of the Ring was. And the Academy generally don't like these movies either. So, a fantasy teenage-like franchise who won 6 billion in the box office is a bit too popular for the Academy, I guess.

I'm repeating myself, but I still pray to see the last movie in at least 3 or 4-5 nominations sections: production, Art Direction, Special effects and, make-up and one actor's category (Alan Rickman for example).
