Daniel IS the title character but he is
also a part of three person ensamble
lead.  A lot of the voters may not have
read the books and see it as such.  I
think WB's move to shove them into
supporting cast might actually be a
smart move to ensure a Harry Potter win
that will help them rather then a loss
if they had entered him into the lead
catagory.

As for some of the other actors
mentioned in the same catagory, while I
loved the movie and adored performances
I think the list should have been
wittled down severly.  There are certain
performances that just arent' memerable
enough to be included.

I think the WB has to high of hopes for
how many awards they can win for this
movie though.  As a Harry Potter fan I
will always love it, but on it's own
merrits, it fell flat compaired to a
great many movies out this year.  Many
of the catagories they wish to compete
in have far more movies to fill the
slots.

On the other and completly related not
of scooby doo-

<In contrast, Warner Bros. suggests in
another
"For Your Consideration" ad (this one
for
SCOOBY-DOO), that voters consider
nominating/voting for Matthew Lillard
(Shaggy)
for Best Performance by an Actor in a
leading
role, comedy or musical. >

While Scooby-Doo WAS a complete and full
ensamble lead, I left the movie feeling
rather put out by the acting and the
only shining spot WAS Matthew Lillard
who was Shagggy through and through.  I
wouldn't mind seeing him nominated and
win because he carried a lot of the
movie when most of the audiance was
bored or tuning out.  I would also like
to see this movie up for special effects
for Scooby and Scrappy but that's just
my opinion.
