:gasp: OH MY GOSH! We must get nominated, at least once! I love the Oscars; it's my favorite awards show. HP should be up for an award, after all of these years!

Very cool! I hope Deathly Hallows get some type of Academy Award recognition in any area because I thought the movie was very cool. The best one since PoA.

Yay!!! Go HP :D

Please oh please oh pleeaaaaaase. I really hope they get nominated and then win, though Tron was awfully pretty.

YES! OH I REALLY HOPE HP WINS! An Academy Award. That'd be an amazing way start to end the series :)

Oh! I don't care if HP wins an Oscar, I just hope it gets NOMINATED. It's been a while since PoA was nominated for a few categories. And also it's against some tough competition; Inception was pretty good. :yes:

Best one since HBP.

i'm pretty sure Alice, TRON and Iron Man will make it in the top 5.

that means DH has two spots to struggle with against the others.

Ooh I really hope it gets nominated!

DH deserves at least a nomination and after the release of part 2 it MUST win at least one oscar. That would be a recognition of the entire franchise. GO HP!

Good luck for every nominees..

GO HARRY POTTER!!! I know they will win!!!! :)

Yess!!!! :xd:

Oh my goodness, please please please. It'd be an awesome way to end the series <33

OMG! :faint: This is absolutely great! HP has to be nominated, it just HAS to get an award. Hopefully, this time it'll get an Oscar :yes:

I hope DH gets nominated and wins! :pea:

oh they better leave it!

Yay! Without a doubt HP deserves to be nominated and win! Long live HP!!!! :)

It would certainly get my vote. Loved the whole movie, esp the Dance scene bewteen Harry and Hermoine and the funniest-- the 7 Potters. If there's any fairness in the voting, Harry Potter will win!

Its about time they recognized Potter. 7 1/2 movies, and still no oscar? ppfft.

thats wonderful!!

While the script adaptation, in my opinion, was only marginally better than the prior two, the technical questions, such as visual effects, certainly are superb!
