Daniel Radcliffe: Snobby Oscars Never Liked Potter

Daniel Radcliffe is "slightly miffed" that none of the Harry Potter films have won an Academy Award, whereas children's movie Hugo was nominated for Best Picture and 10 other categories this year. "I don't think the Oscars like commercial films, or kids' films, unless they're directed by Martin Scorsese," Radcliffe tells the Radio Times. "I was watching Hugo the other day and going, 'Why is this nominated and we're not?' I was slightly miffed. There's a certain amount of snobbery."

"It's kind of disheartening. I never thought I'd care," he continues. Then again, "How much of a pat on the back do we really need? We get paid stupid amounts of money."
