The New York Times is reporting today that a brief clip from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince will be shown at the end of the Academy Awards on February 22nd as part of an upcoming movie montage. This announcement comes just weeks after Oscar organizers asked various movie studios to provide scenes from their upcoming movies for the big awards show this year - a first for the Oscar telecast. The NYT article states that Warner Brothers "will be showing footage from 'Sherlock Holmes,' directed by Guy Ritchie with Robert Downey Jr.; 'Terminator Salvation,' directed by McG with a temperamental Christian Bale; and 'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince,' directed by David Yates with Daniel Radcliffe."It is not yet known whether or not the Half Blood Prince clip will be from the trailers or other footage that has already been released, or whether this will be something new. I guess we will have to wait a little over a week to find out! The Oscars will air on Sunday, February 22nd on ABC beginning at 7pm CST.
I was planning on watching the Oscars anyway, as I do every year. But, news of a Half Blood Prince clip...well, that's just an extra treat now isn't it?
