BAFTA's, good job to them - it's odd that the films never win many of the larger American awards considering how big they are - I think they won one in visual FX for GoF.

Great! What will they will this time? I hope the movie wins in all the catagories, but that's probably stretching it a bit.
Blessings! Hecate3fold!

I'll keep my fingers crossed, and I hope that Harry Potter is successful in at least one of those categories!!
Sound was amazing - let's just hope that the BAFTA's aren't as stuck-up as the Academy Awards are ....

This is absolutely a fanastic year for everyone related to HP.(JO, the cast and the film ,ofcourse)
I hope OoTP receives all the awards or 4/5 *prays*
Hope Dan, Emma and Rupert are nominated for some or the categories and if they are then they SHOULD definately win.
By the way good luck to everyone nominated and especially HP.

Wow, this is amazing, 6 catagories!! I hope HP wins, I'm sure it'll win some of the catagories, like Special Effects. The fight scene between Voldemort and Dumbledore was just too good to be true, if it doesn't win, those BAFTA people need new heads! Just kidding.
I wonder if anyone will go...I don't think Dan/Rupert/Emma would go, most or all of their nominations have to do with the special effects, props and stuff. There's no best actor/actress/ensemble cast catagory there. But, I would love to see new pictures of them.
