Emma updates site about Empire awards Emma Watson has added a new post to her official site where she talks about the Empire awards taking place tonight. She says, "I think I'm also presenting an award which will be great! I really hope it will be a good night for Potter! Fingers crossed!"

The awards will be broadcast tomorrow at 9 PM on ITV2.

Poor Rupert Grint. He never seems to get recognized, does he? And Nick Hooper may have written passable music for the fifth movie, but he definitely does not deserve an award for it.

Emma's fingers aren't the only ones crossed!


Posted by bubblegumgirl Mar 9th 2008

wooo i hope they all win!!


Posted by VampireKisses Mar 9th 2008

This aggravates me too Freddie. Rupert Grint NEEDS some loving. I mean, has he EVER gotten an award for his work in the Potters? No and its disappointing because he is such a good soul with freaking amazing talent and he doesn't ever get recognised for his work where as Emma does---and I really don't think she has talent, she's just a pretty face. I wanna give Rupert a hug!


Posted by slugclubgirl77 Mar 9th 2008

i agree with you freddie and vampirekisses. rupert is a great actor! i mean i understand if daniel radcliffe get an award because he's awesome too. but rwally if emma gets an award so should rupert


Posted by slugclubgirl77 Mar 9th 2008

anyway good luck to all of you guys i hope you win all the awards [: fingers crossed !!


Posted by grndtheftxautumn Mar 9th 2008

emma watson is so cool


Posted by tiassa Mar 9th 2008

I wish them luck, and join the cry to give Rupert Grint some recognizaton for his amazing acting skills.


Posted by narcibellhermina Mar 9th 2008

8th?? Why is it always Dan & Emma going to do awards?? Rupert is still a great actor & has HE ever been to accept an awards show? Noooooooo.


Posted by Emi_5 Mar 9th 2008

awwww....rupert grint... :'(........i think HP should come to AMerica so then they can get nominated for the Oscars and then Rupert .AND Emma can get Best Supporting Actor/actress!!!!! well its just an idea....i hope they all win tonight!!!!


Posted by Kimmy Mar 9th 2008

I wish them luck. I hope everyone wins. To bad Rupert never gets an award. Top ten!!!!!!!!!


Posted by VampireKisses Mar 9th 2008

I don't know about you folks but I'm rooting for Keira Knightley because at least she can act....unlike some people. I mean is it just me or is Watson just unprofessional in acting what with her eyebrows and that crying, overdramatic voice she has (not to mention just likes to hog the attention when it comes to both the films and award ceremonies). I'm not saying these things because I'm jealous (which I am not--aspiring screenwriter not actress/model) but its true! I'm sure she's a good person but I just don't think acting is her thing. I actually do think Dan deserves the nomination...but that's it really. Let us hope Rupert gets more loving next award ceremony.


Posted by CROOKSHANKS99 Mar 9th 2008

thats cool good for emma....but why does rupert get any awards?


Posted by xoxoshannonxoxo Mar 9th 2008

Too bad Rupert never wins anything or get recognized for anything....he's a good actor too and a great RON!!!!


Posted by addicted2chocolatenhp Mar 9th 2008

good luck!


Posted by addicted2chocolatenhp Mar 9th 2008

hey vampirekisses, I think Emma's a talented actress, but I agree with you about her eyebrows! She punctuates all her lines by wiggling them! However, I think if the screenwriters gave her a bigger part, like Hermione is supposed to have, she would be able to actually act and not just communicate through facial expressions. Same for Rupert Grint, he's talented, but they took his part away and gave him really cheesy lines like "Who are you and what have you done with Hermione Granger,"; if his part was as JKR intended, he would look better.


Posted by VampireKisses Mar 9th 2008

Actually I would have to disagree with you on Hermione's role: it's HUGE, its actually kind of too big. Or maybe it is just the right size but what makes it so big is Ron's minute role. It should be RON who is the very best friend of Harry--not Hermione. Emma's role basically steals all of Ron's and her own...making her and Harry the most talkative characters.


Posted by dancefool1 Mar 9th 2008

Hope they win em all!!!!!!


Posted by angelina_johnson92 Mar 9th 2008

Good for them, but Rupert really needs to win something. He portrays Ron better then Dan does Harry. This makes me sad. :(


Posted by starlette804 Mar 9th 2008

GOOD LUCK!!! I hope they ALL win!! Hopefully Rupert will have a bigger part and more lines in HBP and then will get nominated. It seems they sort of played his role down a bit in OOTP and didn't have as much to say....


Posted by Katharineee Mar 9th 2008

I just checked my TV guide on the TV and it says its supernatural on at 9 and i can't find what channel the awards will be on. I'm slightly freaking out now. I love award shows. I agree with you all over the Rupert thing, i think he's the best actor out of the trio. When they were 11/12 the others weren't that great and he was. Now they've all gotten great and he's not being recognised. Anyone think it's kinda ironic how that's the way Ron feels sometimes during the books??


Posted by rooon Mar 9th 2008

: )


Posted by VampireKisses Mar 9th 2008

Yeah actually, I find it very ironic. Well I guess there will be a guaranteed well done performance when Ron leaves the trio in Dh :) That could so be translated into the real life situation.


Posted by honeydukes0209 Mar 9th 2008

Congrats to them...but I really wish Rupert would get some recognition in these things. He's part of the trio too!


Posted by slugclubgirl77 Mar 9th 2008

haha now that i think of it emma does do the thing with her eyebrows. I deffinately think they should give ron bigger parts in the movies because he is harry's best friend and deserves a bigger role


Posted by Katharineee Mar 9th 2008

I think his character will be more dominant in the next two, seeing as in HBP he's on the quidditch team and goes out with Lavander, and like you said, in DH he'll get noticed for the scene where he leaves, and the scene where he saves Harry. And of course the kiss with Hermione.


Posted by emcrocks Mar 9th 2008

The only reason that Rupe isn't recognized as much is because he is really shy and doesn't stand out much in the films. I live in the United States so haven't seen him in Driving Lessons but I just know that Emma and Dan have more lines and stuff so they get recognized more. It really makes me mad that the Ron in the books isn't the Ron in the movies. I have nothing againest Rupe though, HE IS HOT!!!!!!!!!!!


Posted by slugclubgirl77 Mar 9th 2008

good point katherine thats true he will get bigger parts in HBP and DH which are my two fav. books


Posted by Ginny Mar 9th 2008

I agree, rupert is one of the best actors in the set and is hardly recognized... in my opinion he deserves many prizes and nominations... in my opinion emma is more famous because she makes herself standout more, hence, rupert is much more reserved... but i beleive they are both just as good... i understand dan's great recognation because he is the protagonist and is the character with most scenes... his probabilities of winning are greater... well, keeping my fingers crossed!... i hope HP5 wins!... oh!... and thanks emma!... i do lvoe the fact that she keeps us fans updated! = D


Posted by Wizard4243 Mar 9th 2008

Hope she gets what she wants!! But yea Rupert needs to known for his great acting in the movies as well.


Posted by valster1992 Mar 9th 2008

Rupert, Emma, and Daniel are evidently the main characters of the movie. And yet only Emma and Daniel are being recognized. Perhaps it's the fact the Rupert doesn't have that big of a role, I mean he does but it comes across as a very small role in the movies. Rupert is an amazing actor, but he just doesn't put himself out there like the other two. I'm not saying that's a bad thing...I'm just saying that he needs to add a little more BAM in his character. I'll have to disagree with those who say Emma is a bad actress. You may hate the fact that she wiggles her brows but at least you notice her...she is trying. Be patient with her and maybe she'll blow you way in the other two films....WE LOVE YOU RUPERT.


Posted by Cookimonstress Mar 9th 2008

WHAT ABOUT RUPERT, PPL!!!!! ARRRRGGGGH!!!!!!!!!! HE ALWAYS GETS SHOVED ASIDE FOR EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!! IT'S JUST NOT FAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!


Posted by lunalovegoodsnumberonefan Mar 10th 2008

Oh wow that's awesome i really hope OOTP wins cause it is the best.and i hope Emma wins for the best actress,and Dan for best actor. I also hope everyone else from Harry Potter wins at those awards whoever is nominated. I just an Emma Watson interview from there on Emma-Watson.net,and she looks really gorgeous there. I also saw pics of other people from Harry Potter there like Evanna Lynch who plays my favorite character other than the trio Luna Lovegood. David Yates was also there,Jason Isaacs,Katie Leung, and Alfonso Cu


Posted by HermioneForever Mar 10th 2008

VampireKisses, SHUT UP! God, you're way too jealous of Emma (don't even deny it).


Posted by slugclubgirl77 Mar 10th 2008

im not saying emma is a bad actress because she's not.i think she's good actually. I just think Rupert has the same acting talent as Emma which he should get recognized for as well.


Posted by VampireKisses Mar 10th 2008

*laughs her head off at HermioneForever* You sound like a five year ld you know that, right?


Posted by VampireKisses Mar 10th 2008

And for your god darn information, I am not jealous of her. Why would I be when I want to be a screenwriter and not a actress or a model? Anyway its called freedom of speech. Look it up.

Posted by trueligth Mar 10th 2008

To all of them good luck and let hope they win their nomination and make the series more value and more good they aready are.


Posted by valster1992 Mar 11th 2008

I really don't mean to interfere with the argument between Vampire Kisses and HermioneForever, but I must side with HermioneForever. Personally, If Vampire Kisses thinks that everyone has the right to freedom of speech, than that gives HermioneForever to say whatever she wants regardless of what it is.... F.T.R HermioneForever, what you wrote for your comment, I agree completely! *Wink* Again, it was none of my business but C'est La vie!


Posted by amanda Mar 11th 2008

good luck to all of them! ...but what about Rupert? I think he's pretty cool. and deserves an award just as much as Dan and Emma.


Posted by VampireKisses Mar 11th 2008

Um sorry to sound like a...witch but it really was none of your business. And why do all you crazed Emma freaks (by these I mean those who deliberately comment to us "Emma haters" saying we're jealous) assume that we're jealous because we dissaprove of Emma's acting? I mean sure there are some who are jealous but not all of us are ok? You don't see me going "o my godz like she's soooo0o0o fugly, I can soo do a betta h3rmione than her!" screenWRITER remember? and one who has no desire to act and or be one of those silly anorexic models (and no I am not saying Emma's anorexic).


Posted by lunalovegoodsnumberonefan Mar 12th 2008

Good you better not being saying that about Emma,or Hermione. Emma plays Hermione perfectly,and no one else can. I am glad you're not saying Emma is anorexic,because she is not. I think everyone who portrays characters in the movie versions of Harry Potter are talented. They might not always look like how i pictured the character,but nonetheless they are talented. I mean when i first saw Philospher's/Sorcerer's Stone,i was amazed at how much Dan,Emma,and Rupert looked like Harry,Hermione,and Ron. I was also amazed at how well Richard Harris looked like the Dumbledore,i had in my mind,and imagination when reading the books when they first came out. I then went to go see Chamber Of Secrets,and thought Emma looked really more like Hermione in there than the PS/SS.


Posted by heronxobsessed74 Mar 12th 2008

The first thing I thought when I read this post was, "What about Rupert?!" Ron is my favorite character, and, therefore, of course, I also really like Rupert. But, just like in the books, "Ron" (or in this case Rupert) is always overshadowed by "Harry" (or Dan). I really don't think it's fair. (sigh) But, oh, well! It's an honor for Potter to be represented at the Empire Awards this year.


Posted by slugclubgirl77 Mar 14th 2008

i lovee Ron (:


Posted by sirius_lee_G Mar 15th 2008
