The National Movie Awards are coming up soon, and Emma Watson is nominated for “Performance of the Year” for her role as Hermione in Half-Blood Prince. The movie is up for “Family Movie”. You can vote here. Thanks to Danielle for the tip.

I think you’ve now all had a chance to check out Emma’s updated site. If you like it, let Emma know by voting for EWO for a Favorite Website Award here. Thanks Jo.

Emma topped Teen Vogue’s Best Dressed list for March, wearing a Christopher Kane dress at the LONDON show ROOMs cocktail party. Thanks Celia.

Teen Vogue also has a feature on the summer styles from Emma’s Love from Emma collection in Green Girl: Emma Watson’s Summer Line for People Tree is Here! Thanks Phill.

We have some more photos of Burberry store displays. Shao sent in a couple from Chongqing, China, and Ming sent in one from Kuala Lumpur. Thank you both.

And we have some scans from Seventeen, Premiere from Mexico, and Total DVD from Russia. Thanks to Elmira.

Emma Watson answers questions about Fair Trade fashion in two videos released today by People Tree. A contest was held back in December/January where people could send in video questions about Fair Trade and the winning questions would be answered on video by Emma. The winners were recently announced, and now the videos and Emma’s response can be seen in two parts, Part 1 and Part 2.

The videos were released to celebrate new summer styles from the “Love from Emma” collection which went on sale today.

We can also look forward to more from Emma next year. A little teaser on EWO says “Her relationship with People Tree continues as she collaborates with the company on their Spring/Summer collection for 2011”

Many of you have suspected that Emma Watson’s new official site would be opening today, and now we can confirm it. Jo let us know it is due to launch at 5:00 pm UK time, less than half an hour from now.  🙂

Can’t wait to see it!  F5…F5…F5… 😆

Update: If you haven’t checked out Emma’s new site, you don’t know what you’re missing. There’s a new photoshoot, more information about Emma, her film career and fashion projects, and a nice video message to her fans. There’s so much that I still haven’t read through everything. 🙂

Emma Watson turns 20 years old today. I know a lot of people have said it, but it really is hard to believe that so much time has passed since that first scene in Philosopher’s Stone. For 10 years we’ve watched Emma grow from an adorable child to an amazing young woman. She’s made it through the teen years, the downfall of so many child stars, with flying colors. Every year I am just more impressed by Emma and her values. Every year my respect for her grows. Another year older, another year better. I look forward to the next 10 years.

I hope you will now all join us in wishing Emma a wonderful Happy Birthday, and to put you in the mood, we have a birthday video kindly made by Chiara.

Update: We now have the birthday project online in PDF format. Click the thumb to view it. It’s about 5 MB.

WWD: What do you think defines British style?

Emma Watson: It’s so funny because now that I’m in America, I’m more able to define it. Before I didn’t have an awareness of another style. I think [British style] has to do with the weather. We have terrible weather. It’s very gray and drizzly so we need things to cheer us up. And I think that leads to a lot of creativity and color, and I think that’s why our designers are so innovative. Because at home we’re kind of up against the elements in a sense. And we need cheering up. I think we do very well with kind of an eclectic mix. We have great vintage and we love to mix and match: high street and high fashion, vintage…and I think that really defines it as well.

WWD: Now that you’re in Providence, what do you miss most about England and London?

E.W.: Marks & Spencer, the supermarket.

WWD: Really? What do you miss from there?

E.W.: The food, the food! Marks & Spencer’s food. I miss English chocolate. And I miss silly things like the adverts on TV.

Reminder: Don’t forget about our 20th Birthday Project.

Fake Twitters: No, I’m not talking about fake Emma twitters at the moment. It seems we have been faked too. Our real twitter account is here. You can also find the link under “Contact Us”. If someone claims to be us, but we don’t link to it from our site, it’s fake.

The same thing can be said for Emma of course. If you find a twitter, facebook, youtube, whatever that claims to be Emma, look for a link to it on Emma’s official site. If you don’t find a link, it’s a fake. Last time I checked, there are no links.
