Muggles the world over were upset and dismayed by the lack of ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2’ Best Picture Oscar nomination this year, but it seems the film’s star, Daniel Radcliffe, isn’t that disappointed. In Toronto promoting ‘The Woman in Black,’ Radcliffe seemed positively Zen about the lack of Academy recognition. “I didn’t expect it to be nominated for Best Picture, and no, it doesn’t faze us,” Radcliffe told Moviefone. Not surprisingly, Radcliffe doesn’t really place a lot of weight on the Academy Awards as a whole and sits on the fence when it comes to winning one as an individual. “I have mixed feelings about awards for actors in general,” he said. “Obviously it’s a lovely thing to be recognised by the public or by your peers, but it’s all very self-congratulatory.” As for some British press talk of him winning an Oscar for ‘Woman In Black’? “That’s very kind, but very insane.”
