Best Dramatic Presentation, Long Form: Enchanted; The Golden Compass; Heroes, season one; Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix; Stardust
(hmmm, have seen Heroes and HP. Have read Stardust. Wanted to see Enchanted and have The Golden Compass on my TBR stack. My daughter loved The Golden Compass movie. I’d have to give Heroes a nudge over HP, I think…)

(I have friends who are rabid Who fans–I tell them it always make me think of the band when they talk about the show in the short form. But of these I only watch Torchwood and while I like the show Captain Jack is my least favorite character…I think I know which episode this was…)
