The final set of nominations for the 2010 Orange British Academy Film Awards, the BAFTAs, have been announced, and include two nominations for the "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" film. First, the sixth Potter film was recognized in the category of Production Design, along side such other films as "Avatar," "District 9," "Inglourious Basterds," and "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus." A second nomination comes in the Special Visual Effects category, which has nominated "Half-Blood Prince" alongside "Avatar," "District 9," "The Hurt Locker," and "Star Trek."

On a related note, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1" composer Alexandre Desplat has been nominated in the Music category for his score of the "Fantastic Mr. Fox" film. The 2010 BAFTAs are slated to take place Sunday, February 21st, in London.

Thanks to Erna!

Kiwi, two days ago. ProfessorCharms, sadly I don’t think we have a chance for either, but it’s very cool for HBP to be nominated with those films.

I’d be really surprised if Avatar doesn’t win in both categories. It was amazing. And I really liked Half-Blood Prince, but I don’t think it has a chance.

RE ravenseeker, it’s the British Academy Film and Television Awards, so ‘T’ is for Television.

Avatar will probably win because the critics are all over it right now and HP came out months ago. But HBP DESERVES to win! The special effects were amazing!!! I hope it gets another Oscar nomination!!

So, Leaky friends, any predictions? I think HBP has a better shot of winning production design than special visual effects – what do you think? It’s tough going up against Avatar in those two categories!!
