MuggleNet staff predicts Oscar winners – ‘Deathly Hallows – Part 2’ will win one Oscar
Tonight is the night for the stars to shine as the 84th Academy Awards takes center stage at the Hollywood & Highland Center in Los Angeles, California. The show will be hosted for the ninth time by comedian and film star Billy Crystal.
While we understand that Harry Potter fans around the world, like us, feel Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 got snubbed by the Academy with its lack of nominations in the premiere categories, we still expect Deathly Hallows – Part 2 to win at least one Oscar this evening, which will be the franchise’s first Oscar.
MuggleNet’s staff member Kat and I have decided to share our predictions for the winners – a little in-house competition. The good news, is that we both predict at least one of the Oscars to go to the crew of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2, we just don’t agree on the category. Here are our predictions:
