The nominees for the 83rd Academy Awards will be announced on Tuesday, January 25, 2011. We will have more information regarding possible nominations for Deathly Hallows: Part I and its stars that morning.

Additionally, production designer Stuart Craig was nominated for a 2010 Art Directors Guild award in the fantasy film category for his work on Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I. Those awards will be given out on February 5, 2011 at a black-tie ceremony in Beverly Hills, Calif.
