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.
