Best Film – Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1
Rupert Grint and Tom Felton participated in a Red Nose Day sketch to help raise money for Comic Relief. Roger Lloyd-Pack who played Barty Crouch in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is also in the skit as well as many well known stars such as Paul McCartney, Ringo Star and Keira Knightley. You can watch the clip below, parents be aware that there is some strong language in the sketch. The description of the sketch is as follows: Lenny Henry and Richard Curtis are desperate for help with Comic Relief’s Red Nose Day 2011. They call on Smithy to save the day! He alone can talk a host of celebrities into taking part in this year’s Red Nose Day in a meaningful way!
VG Nett has posted a new article stating that Rupert Grint will be in a film called Comrade. Rupert’s representation have confirmed to SnitchSeeker that he is in talks for the film but nothing is confirmed. According to the article:
“We met him in London, and this was something he would be in addition to many other projects he has going on. Grint thinks this is an interesting project,” said Petter Naess [Director] to VG Nett.
“There are many talented young actors, but Rupert Grint is very right for the role. I can say so that he’ll play a young, rebellious and redheaded rebel.”
Today there are a bunch of versions of the ‘Tiny Ball of Light’ video that was featured on the Oscars last night. This was the best one I found. Enjoy:
A very rough video of Stephen Fry introducing the Outstanding Contribution to Cinema award to the Harry Potter series has appeared online via YouTube. J.K. Rowling, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, David Heyman, David Barron, Mike Newell, David Yates, and Alfonso Cuaron went on stage to accept the award. Hopefully a better quality version will be released, if so I will update this post.
As many of you know, the BAFTA Awards were held today and the Harry Potter series received the award for Outstanding British Contribution to Cinema, it was presented by Stephen Fry and there was a montage accompanying them accepting the award. Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, JK Rowling, David Yates, David Heyman, Helena Bonham Carter, Bonnie Wright, Jamie Campbell Bower, Miranda Richardson and director Mike Newell were at the awards ceremony. Hopefully there will be a video of the cast and crew accepting the award online soon. Emma Watson also presented the Rising Star Award. A lot of videos are beginning to appear online so here is the first roundup. You can also watch a video of Rupert here that has embedding disabled.
