Although Rickman is not among the early favorites to land a Best Supporting Actor nod, his young co-star is rooting for him to be shortlisted in the category.

“I don’t think there is going to be another performance from an actor in a supporting role that is so powerful, where the actor had the challenge of realizing a scene that’s been realised millions of times the world over in the imaginations of readers,” Contactmusic quoted Radcliffe as telling Entertainment Weekly.

“That scene - those revelations about Snape’s past - represented maybe the most anticipated part of (one of) the most anticipated movies of the past 10 years, and I think Alan does amazing, amazing work,” he added.
