Oscar nomination? Let me laugh and puke...

chace483

As much as I love Emma Watson and no matter how hot I think she is, she did NOT deliver an Oscar-winning performance. All these fans saying she deserves an oscar for this film have obviously never seen an oscar winning performance. Wow, she can scream...so what?

She was good though, probably stood out the most in terms of improvement but it was nothing oscar worthy. :-"

Richard

she wont get it (

chace483

of course she won't get a nod...people on eastenders act better than she can. She LOOKS good though ;-)

Richard

yeah i agree. but oh well.

decarus

She is certainly the best of the three though. Dan is crap. Rupert is okay.

Richard

HAHA!

chace483

lol, dan isn't crap in this film, previous maybe lol. rupert...nothing special. emma was good though but she's improved enourmously.

decarus

I never thought Emma was bad at all. I never noticed her eyebrows until i got on a HP site. I think people just need to get over that. I mean people do that in real life.

Dan has improved for the last two films, but he still isn't good.

blackvenom

Dan is decent. Still not any great actor.
Rupert probed he's a multi-layered actor in DH. He is good at comedy and drama. And I liked this.
Emma was atrocious in GoF and OotP. It wasn't really her fault, especially in GoF. But she's come a long way. She's improved substantially.


IF promoted and campaigned properly for the Best Supporting Actress category, it's not far-fetched that she may get an Oscar nod. She has received rather rave reviews so far. And the category is pretty empty this year. It'll be a smart move of Warner Bros to promote her there.

P.S.
Personally Emma Watson's performance in DH is far better than Sandra Bullock's Oscar-winning(?) performance in the Blind Side. Seriously. Oscars are politics or they are given when actors haven't received any for a previous better performance. Oscars don't award people for the quality of their performances any more. I'm sorry but this is the truth. Since Bullock and Sidibe were nominated last year, I don't think that Watson has no chance at all. Actually, she gave a better performance than these ladies and was pretty much one of the highlights of DH.

Mr108jml

If the Blind Side was nominated for Best Picture, anything is possible.

decarus

I just don't think that HP are good enough movies. I mean i really like them and think they are good, but they aren't the right type of movies and they have too many issues to be really considered.

chace483

I never thought Emma was bad at all. I never noticed her eyebrows until i got on a HP site. I think people just need to get over that. I mean people do that in real life.

Dan has improved for the last two films, but he still isn't good.

Sorry Decarus but after that...I can't take your comment seriously. Emma Watson was SOOOO baaad IN GOF, she really was. Very overdramtic, eyebrows dancing.

As for Dan, he's is okay, not great yeah...id say even with Rupert although they approach it differently as they have different characters to deal with.

decarus

Yeah and i am telling you i seriously never noticed that until got on a HP site and i think that is true for most people.

Also GoF is just bad. Emma at least has some good scenes in it.

Richard

GOF is nice. It has pacing problems though #-O

blackvenom

And Blind Side is a good enough film?
It's politics. Potter films have been labeled as children films. Unfortunately. They all appreciate the film's stellar cast, the techs and the amount of effort but see them as blockbusters with no Oscar 'quality'.

And no. They don't have many issues. At least PoA, HBP and DH. HBP had the romance and humor that made the film lose its Oscar quality somehow. Look at all scenes concerning Dumbledore and Draco. Poetic, dark and gothic in feel. If HBP had less romance, it would have been a true masterpiece.
DH1 is better. A lot better. And it's the only film I consider to have Oscar quality.

But it doesn't matter really. They nominated The Blind Side. This atrocious, laughable film which has more issues than Transformers 2. Which means? Oscars are politics. End of story.

Richard

agreed!

decarus

I never said Blind Side was a good film. I mean it was fine. I understand why it was looked at. I completely agree that it is political. I wasn't arguing with that. I don't think that the HP films have been on par with say LotR. I get why it won oscars.

The one bad scene i would say for Emma in GoF was when she talks about the aging potion. The way she slams her book down and like huffs is a little weird. She still has some good scenes. I really like OotP, so i have nothing to say about it.

chace483

never seen the blind side.

DH1 i can see getting a possible nod BUT it is half a film. Stuart Craig should definetly get a nod though. Some of those set pieces were just stunning.

chace483

Technical side of the film should definetly get possible nods bu then that will affect the amount of possible nods that DH2 could recieve becuase, y'know, it's technically the same film.

blackvenom

The scene where Hermione talks to Harry when he arrives at Grimmauld Place is one of the most akward and bad acting moments in the entire series. Seriously bad.

Blind Side wasn't fine. As Bullock's performance was below average. But that's my opinion.

Richard

DH2 needs to get a nod.

Richard

The scene where Hermione talks to Harry when he arrives at Grimmauld Place is one of the most akward and bad acting moments in the entire series. Seriously bad.

Blind Side wasn't fine. As Bullock's performance was below average. But that's my opinion.

what scene?

blackvenom

DH1 will be nominated for Art Direction,Cinematography,Original Score,Visual Effects and maybe Sound.

DH2, if done properly, will definitely grab a Best Picture nod.

blackvenom

When Harry first arrives at Grimmauld Place and she hugs him and starts talking in the most annoying way. Line delivery: terrible. Facial expressions: terrible. It was as if she was about to start laughing. One of the worst moments of Emma in the series.
I'm glad she redeemed herself somehow in HBP. And I'm glad she left me shocked by her almost excellent performance in DH1.

Richard

Oh in OOTP? yeah agreed.

decarus

I understand what you are saying about the scene at Grimmauld Place. I just don't think that was Emma's fault. I think the director told her to act like she is worried about how Harry would react and it didn't make sense. Also the fact that Dan didn't really react at all didn't help.

Richard

LMAO! :-))

haley11

The scene where Hermione talks to Harry when he arrives at Grimmauld Place is one of the most akward and bad acting moments in the entire series. Seriously bad.

I think Emma's worst scene is in GoF. At the very end of the Yule Ball when she's yelling at ron and harry and telling them to go off to bed. It was WAY overly dramatic and awkward. Too aggressive.. .. it made me not like emma, but i agree that her performance in DH1 was good. So she redeemed herself.

haley11

oops... i dunno why the whole thing is in a quote box... the second part is what I wrote haha sorry guys

chace483

He didn't react because he was being natural unlike Emma basically hyperventilating.

haley11

haha... emma's eyebrow dance.

so true.

jonny7003

He didn't react because he was being natural unlike Emma basically hyperventilating.

:-)) I still to this day don't know what on earth she was breathing like that for.

chace483

Yeah, she's really pretty but if a girl were to greet me like that I'd run away

Richard

but theyve known each other for years.

chace483

So?
I wouldn't want my best friend/ grilfriend looking at me like that, hugging me like that, talking like that id be creeped. [-X

Richard

well youve got Isa,so youre good LOL

chace483

Yeah. And isn't she lovely? X( LOL.

Basically, she's good now. Actually, I think the trio are all as good as eachother. Emma excels at simple "aw" talks, Rupert's good at funny (not goofy faces though :-W) and depressed. Dan is good at dark, depressing stuff and he's quite charismatic at comedy so i can't really say...

Jason

How dare you!

Richard

What?

PotterFanatic

Emma Does deserve Oscar Nomination for Many Reasons I must disagree with all of you.

Emma Shines in this one, I dont Say She is better Sandra Bullock but let's give her a chance, Bullocks first movies were really really funny but lets be honest her acting sucked But when She got A real Role In The Blind Side She Shined Just Like Emma Did in This one. We dont have to look at the previous Potter movie ,If She gets nominated she will get For Deathly Hallows not For POA GOF SS COS OR HBP.Well Few Days ago I met A guy maybe he was 37 years old He was intellegent and all the way He just Said to me "Harry Potter and lord Of the Rings Are the Best Fantasy movies I've ever Seen Just Those Two"
Another Thing That Potter Cast Wouldnt be on the REd Carpet On Oscars( If they arent Nominated) they ARe BRITISH.
Why Do you give a fuck and complain about those eyebrows, it does happen to me in my real life i mean thats her personality and she used to as me.

Mr108jml

What's the deal about Emma's eyebrows? Many people have mentioned them. Am I missing something?

chace483

Potterfanatic absolutely not, no, no, no.

She shines *cough* because she gives an improved performance that no-one was expecting (i agree with you there) but it was NOTHING oscar worthy. There was nothing inspirational about her perfomance. Examples?
Have you seen Marion Cortlliard in La Vie En Rose?
Now that was a fantastic performance and she won the oscar and emma watson in the same league as that and other actresses...no way.

dashape80

Emma's performance was great and I really enjoyed it but to get a nod for best actress from the academy? Really guys?

PotterFanatic

Well She Had Leading Role,Emma Does Too But Everything is focused On Harry , i mean Hermione doesnt do much in the potter Movies Just IN DHPT1 and DHPt2 Where Will see her Mad Movement(Action)Sad Emotional Parts The Epilouge (more serious Acting cuz They are olrder) And what about that overweight girl from Precious The Movie Wasnt The Best But Her Acting Was Stupid Lame Lame She Just cried And Cried And Cried,Emma Does Everything in these two parts movies.

PotterFanatic

Emma's performance was great and I really enjoyed it but to get a nod for best actress from the academy? Really guys?

Why Not Dashape80 If That Fat GIRL FROM PRECIOUCE CAN GET OSCAR EMMA CAN TOO

Richard

That fat girl was her first time acting dude and look at her performance it was nearly perfect!

PotterFanatic

as i explained richard she did nothing she just cried cried cried cried cried i can do better than her.

Dan didn't react? IMO, he reacted like someone who was irritated.

chace483

for goodness sake dude...just becuause she can squirt a few tears and shout a few lines does not mean she's "oscar-worthy"

chace483

For Emma.

chace483

And you being rude about over-weight women then that's just dumb. That film was about her finding the light behind all the issues that REAL LIFE poses and you comparing her to pretty, middle-class, posh speaking emma watson then what does that say about you?
