And I’m really happy for Sam Rockwell and Duncan Jones! I loved the Moon! A very good film! I definitely recommend to everyone! It’s worth to be seen! :)

I especially like the “Best Use of UK Locations” award, because it reminds me of all the cool places that we can actually step into, and put ourselves in Harry’s world. I’ve stood next to Snape’s cauldron in the Potions classroom used in PS/SS; it’s in Lacock Abbey, in Lacock, Wiltshire. SO cool!
