“I’m just the ginger one in the background, this shouldn’t be happening!”

Well Rupert, you are definitely not just the one in the background for us and we couldn’t be more happy for you. :)

You’ll find it here.
We are sure many more are on their way.

Ed Sheeran is also attending the awards and just won an award, so we are hoping for more news from the new ginger dream team!

  1. I can’t explain in Words what I’m feeling now. He won against Emma and Dan after 10 Years and he never complained and now he can go Home with a Award just for his amazing Performance

  2. I can’t even begin to talk about how proud I am right now. Firstly to all the British fans for getting it right! Voting Rupert best actor is the way to go. :) And secondly for the fact that Rupert did win and he finally gets the award and everyone can see how loved he is and how much he deserves an award for his phenomenal acting!

  3. hope we get videos soon :(

  4. so apparently Rupert confirmed that he’s going to be in Ed Sheeran’s video, I wonder if we’ll see that interview?

  11. Hey Said something about how unexpected it was, they talked about Ed and the video and Rupert talked about Comrade… But nothing new… just that He filmed it in Norway and that it will propably go to cinema next spring…

  12. Long over due. As much as I love Dan and Emma, Rupert is a better actor than those two – its what attracted me to follow him as a fan. He has deserved this for years. Great great great stuff.

  13. OMG! He won – that is so awesome and overdue :)
    Best news I got today!

  14. @fleur don’t care about Interviews now, Rupert won, we should take Time for this to be happy for him and looking at the amazing Pictures. Interviews will come later and so will Videos

  15. I’m really proud of him…nobody deserves that prize as much as he does. After all these years his acting, finally, won a prize, that he deserves so much! :D

  18. About damn time he finally gets recognize. I’m so happy that he won, he has been deserving since day one. Glad that people came to their senses. In the category that he won Emma and Daniel were nominated as well? Guys and girls on the same one? Just out of couriosity. Way to go Rupert. And he should have never been the Ginger in the background, kind of sad he has felt that way.

  24. no comment of this yet at snitchseeker – why am I not surprised

  25. ^Hey I like snitchseeker. They’ll post the news. I think they’re much better than leaky or mugglenet.

    I HATE that he feels that way. I can understand why, but he should never feel second to dan, emma, or anyone for that matter. I’m very pleased and happy for him.

  26. Congratulations!!! Deserved it!!! Rupert is a great actor ! About time …he has been always the best through HP series. I’m really happy!! And he is so sweet indeed.

  27. Finally, after all this time.

  28. Damn…can’t download the audio for some reason!!

  37. Congratulations to Rupert !!! He so deserved it, i´m so happy for him!!

  38. the links doesnt work for me :( :(

  39. please can anyone tell me which questions are being asked? :( :(

  40. Totally agree with Trude. Those HP site always ignore Rupert Grint except when it is convenient for them., that means when they have nothing about Dan or Emma.

  41. actually it starts downloading then it stops…. :( :(

  42. Fleur, have you tried downloading from the Media Site instead of directly from the post?

  43. yeah ive tried everything, and everytime its stops. :(

  44. Well what do you know, they finally got an award right! Congratuations to him, very well dedserved!

  45. @Fleur: Send me an email to karo@rupert-grint.us

  46. Ohh…..did it hurt when Rupert fell from heaven?!

  47. I’m loving all the Rupert love going on right now! Twitter is insane ..lol! He so deserved this win :)

  48. It Is ABOUT DAMN TIME he got some recognition! I’ve been watching the staff emails all day just getting more and more excited. I’m so proud. He’s not just the ginger in the background, he’s a GINGER EFFING HERO!

  49. @ Jessie..can you chill with that and just be happy that he was given the recognition he deserves? sheesh.

  50. This is such good news, congratulations to Rupert. He is so deserving to win.
    I’m getting the perception that maybe Rupert is more popular than Em and Dan in UK. I hate to say this but most US based sites just focus on Emma

  51. So happy for Rupert, no matter what award is, he WON. And it looks like he finally found his other shoe

  52. Bree….lol! I thought that too, about his shoe :)

  53. Yea! Rupert. He most definetly needs to wear more purple. As always he’s so modest. I don’t think he was making a slight or jab at all regarding his time as Ron. He was just being his humble self. But because WE know how he was pushed more to the background we hear that.

  54. wow.. that’s what I’m talking about … finally!! ^_^

  55. UK voters are the best woooo!!
