| | |  Possible Oscar for PoA special effects
The Associated Press reports that the organisers of the Academy awards have narrowed down the possible list of contenders in the category of "Best Special Effects" used in a film. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is one of seven films that qualify to compete for this year's nominations. In order to make the final round to be nominated for an Oscar, each of the seven qualifing films must supply a 15 minute reel of highlights for screening by the voting members of the Academy. The members will then nominate 3 of these films for an Oscar award.
Other films that have made it to this final round of possible nominees are Spiderman 2, the new Lemony Snicket film, The Aviator, I, Robot, The Day After Tomorrow, and Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow.
The Academy Awards nominations will be officially announced on January 25th in Los Angeles, California.

PoA better win this time around, now that LotR's gone (not that I'm not an LotR fan, but HP holds a special place inside my heart).

Interesting. Thanks!
Spiderman 2, Sky Captain and PoA are all great in the special effects department! I haven't seen Lemony yet but I hope that's cool! 
I think Sky Captain will win.

that's awesome!! POA definitely should get nominated! the special effects were the most amazing I've ever seen!! The Day after Tomorrow's effects werent brilliant..i dont understand that..i havent seen the rest of the films..but POA tops all!!! it should definitely be nominated!!!
so is that the only award its in the running for? no other oscars? i think it should have been but oh well, this is the farthest a HP film has come, as far as Academy Awards go..i bet GOF will get loads!

Pretty interesting. Thanks for finding it. Sky Captain was absolutely brilliant. I'm very suprised Van Helsing isn't nominated. I do hope HP makes it!

I saw Lemony Snicket's a series of unfortunate events yesterday. It was really good and had more special effects than Harry Potter. And as much as I want Harry Potter to win, I don't think it will

I hope that POA wins that Oscar  . I didn't expect LOTR to win awards last year but it did and it was the best.
