I still doubt this is going to happen, for the simple reason
that he isn't the main character and can't be allowed to
look better than than the hero (even if it's *just* in
acting ability). I feel he got more praise than Dan after
SS, and most of Rupert's awards are from that time.

You can see his role diminishing and changing after movie
one, and by now most viewers consider Ron a coward, even
though he does not come across as one in the books then.

Dan has gotten a lot better, but his long scenes are mostly
action, and they still don't stick with him long when it
comes to more emotional scenes, where his face is visible
(apart from long takes of him screaming in pain, in PoA and
Gof).
When they do, it's usually not considered his best scenes
(the "who am I, Hedwig" or the fake crying in PoA, for
example).

I'm afraid Rupert will have to wait until after "Harry
Potter" and I hope he isn't too type cast by then (though
her does say he enjoys comedy and seems to have great comic
timing).
