Kristen Stewart in The Twilight Saga: New Moon
Kristen Stewart's Orange Rising Star Award victory would only surprise someone who has been living in some parallel universe where the Twilight Saga franchise movies haven't played at local movie houses. Anyone could vote for the Orange Rising Star Award. I voted for Tahar Rahim, knowing full well he had no chance. But I wanted to make sure he got at least one vote. To this date I can't quite figure out why Robert Pattinson wasn't included in the BAFTAs Rising Star list. I mean, the guy is the embodiment of a Rising Star (see Robert Pattinson BAFTA clip). Maybe next year.
Anyhow, some weren't all that impressed with Kristen Stewart's win.
"Hang on. Is this right?" inquired Xan Brooks in The Guardian. "I mean, Stewart was great in Adventureland, but still – I think I liked Tahar Rahim better. So what's going on here? Who can we blame for dropping the ball on this one. Your aunt or my cousin?
"Finally the mystery is cleared up. 'First I have to thank all the fans of Twilight, for being the most devoted and attentive fans ever,' says Stewart. So that explains everything. It was the Twilight fans that done it. A pox on those pallid, adolescent vampire fans. Does their power know no bounds?"

You guys are all jokes. Amazing actress? *snort* She never shows any emotions except for screaming and saying "I'm not afraid of you."
A well deserved award to a beautiful and talented actress.
not all twilight fans are kids and pre-teens. but i guess people have to come up with anything to figure out why they are the most popular stars
Why do you have to shit on Kristen because she's got so many fans? She is a really great actress and deserved the award as much as any of the other nominees.
Congrats! to Kristen Stewart. She definitely deserves the award. All her hard work is not a waste. She's an amazing actress, hope she continues to be in more movie.
The choice of image for this post is hilarious!
What does the Rising Star award mean? Rob's already a star. I'm not sure why Kristen was included.
Kate,
No need for crassness. Generally, a post such as yours would have been trashed in a blink.
I've posted it and now I'm taking the trouble to respond to it just to say a couple of things:
1 – Read the text. The post author is quoting someone else, THE GUARDIAN's Xan Brooks — who *clearly* is being tongue-in-cheek. Even if Brooks had been serious: *no one* has to be a Kristen Stewart fan — or anyone's fan, for that matter.
2 – No other crass/crazy comment will be posted.
People are free to disagree with the post author or with Xan Brooks or with one another. But do so courteously. Really, it doesn't hurt.
