DANIEL RADCLIFFE is upset the HARRY POTTER franchise
has been largely overlooked by the Academy Awards, blaming Hollywood "snobbery" for the snub.
The final
installment of the hit series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, is
in the running for art direction, make-up and visual effects prizes at the
upcoming 2012 ceremony.
But Radcliffe,
who played the boy wizard in eight films, admits it's "disheartening"
to miss out on a chance at Oscars gold in the major categories.
He tells Britain's
Radio Times, "It's kind of disheartening. I never thought I'd care. But it
would've been nice to have some recognition, just for the hours put in. I don't
think the Oscars like commercial films, or kids' films, unless they're directed
by Martin Scorsese.
"I was
watching Hugo the other day and was going, 'Why is this nominated and we're
not?' I was slightly miffed. There's a certain amount of snobbery."
But the actor
concedes, "How much of a pat on the back do we really need? We get paid
stupid amounts of money."
