ACCESS HOLLYWOOD: WHY KRISTEN STEWART DECLINED PRESENTING AT THE OSCARS
Ever since Robert Pattinson was confirmed to present at the Oscars, we were all left wondering if Kristen Stewart would join him on stage. It wasn’t until Rob came out only with Amanda Seyfried that we realized she would not be taking the stage. Sources confirmed that Kristen did, in fact, attend the Oscars, but skipped the red carpet in favor of a side entrance. Now, why did Kristen decline the opportunity to present at the Oscars? Access Hollywood has the answer:
At Sunday night’s 81st Annual Academy Awards, “Twilight’s” vampire teen heartthrob Robert Pattinson was a presenter alongside “Mamma Mia” star Amanda Seyfried.It left many wondering: where was his “Twilight” co-star, Kristen Stewart?
Access’ Billy Bush got the answer on the red carpet, when he asked Kristen’s father, John Stewart, why she wasn’t presenting with Robert Pattinson.
John responded that Kristen would present at the Oscars, “When it’s a great movie, not just one that makes a lot of money.”
Ouch, that hurts. I find it pretty offending that Kristen (or rather, her father) said that about the movie. I liked the movie, and while it wasn’t Oscar-worthy, I still don’t feel it deserves to be referred to that way. Rob felt proud enough to present, and I think Kristen should have taken a page from his book.
What do you think about why Kristen didn’t present? Are you offended by what she said, or do you agree?

I think she’s be sideswiped by popularity but still considers herself indie, so a movie has to serious themes for her to take it seriously.
I think that is true Staar84, that doesn’t make it okay. That movie that makes money is going to enable her to make many of her little indie films in the future.
Ouch. I guess I’m a little biased against Kristen- I’ve never found her… quite right… for the part of Bella. (A little too strong/not vulnerable enough?)
it’s her life, her name, and i think she should be allowed entitled to her view, even if it’s unpopular. it really wasn’t a great movie, technically. acting, flow, effects…it all was lacking. but that doesn’t mean we can’t love it anyways! i’m really looking forward to the future ones because i think it can only get better; hopefully a lot better.
i don’t think anyone should let themselves get offended.
One again KStew bashes the very reason everyone is talking about her. How long is this going to go on before the fan base bites back? She should have been HONORED to present at the Oscars. IT THE FREAKING OSCARS! That kind of exposure is something she will regret not having taken advantage of.
If she keeps talking about these movies like this, she may find anything else she does not getting all of those viewers she would have had if she’d been nicer…..
I agree! Kristen should have presented with Rob. Sometimes, I don’t understand her. Kristen should have been with Rob on stage. Having to pair him with Amanda felt stiff and wrong. I wonder if Rob tried to talk to Kristen about it beforehand or not. Rob and Kristen would have presented the Romance category better together than pairing 2 people who did not know each other probably previous to rehearsal the day before. I don’t get what she means by her comment given by her Dad. She acts ungrateful for the success of the film and that comment does a disservice to all the Twilight fans. It’s the first time that I have felt something negative towards Kristen. I hope this was misquoted or something. She would have been better off to have said that she just didn’t want to be in the limelight–as we all know she hates that kind of stuff (interviews, attention, etc.). That would have been more excusable!
Hmm… it sounds to me that Kristen’s dad has an opinion, and she still listens to her dad. Good for her, because she’s only 18. (?)
I don’t know about the “considers herself indie” thing. It’s like there are tons of movies from Gwyneth Paltrow I would not consider seeing, but I think as an actor you have to do both — the commerical movies as well as “good” movies. At the end, who gives those people funding for new movies at the first place?
Or the dad thinks he knows enough of the business, and believes that his daughter is famous enough to be choosey.
Did she ever think to herself “maybe the movie was bad because my acting WAS bad?” Because her acting and the fast pace of the movie were the only things i found terrible about it.
KS is a stuck-up B. She is rude, condescending, and a LOUSY interview. If she doesn’t want to participate in HOllywood, go off and do plays - trust me, no one will care enough to bother her after that.
kristen wouldn’t have said those exact words to the media, but it was her dad after all.
she’s trying to make a name for herself based on the performances she gives not on the exposure she gets from publicity stunts. The Oscars only asked them to present in order to dupe young audiences into watching. Kristen has worked with a lot of very respectable actors in a lot of indie movies that she can make with or without a large fan base, so who cares what we think. she wants to be respected by her peers for something oscar-worthy, not just because of a huge phenomenon that is a result of a book, not even the movie itself.
I was actually not a bit surprised by her statement. My daughter and I have always loved Kristen’s movies . Until Twilight that is. Don’t get me wrong, I liked her in Twilight as well. But I have read more than my share of her opening her mouth and saying things she shouldn’t since the movie came out. I think my 14 year old daughter said it best” she is a bit ungrateful for the success that Twilight has brought her and she bashes it. There are alot of other girls who would have loved to play Bella and they at least would have appreciated what the role did for them.”
all i ever hear is how “I love kristen” “oh if only kristen would present with rob” “why arent kristen and rob together???” “oh she is so young”(as if that is an excuse…) If Rob is smart he should never ever date her. She is so condescending.She is a horrible interview.She is not bright or learned (anyone see letterman-and that would be only one example) I can not stand her “in person”.of course that is what she thought and what she meant because thst is who she is -a pain in the butt.
Not only is she a stuck-up B, she is pea green envious of how much media attention Robert has received. Plus I would bet he got alot more money doing these sequels than she did too. Probably lots of reasons we’ll never know about. They should have presented together - to promote the movie, to gain recognition, etc. Makes one wonder how well their chemistry is going to be when filming? I would love to be totally wrong about this, but finding out she attended the Oscars and left Robert stranded is beyond belief.
If she really does feel that way, then she shouldn’t have agreed to play Bella. What a pissy response to a movie that could possibly get you some good roles. And I agree with the one comment that I never thought she was right for Bella. I think the way Bella was portrayed in Twilight was way off from the book. Where was her klutziness, tripping over everything…Bella in the movie was way to strong a character than the Bella in the book.
I think that Kristen should have presented at the awards. She seems a bit too chicken to show herself since the movie came out. I do not know for the life of my why she would not think that twilight is not good enough. Sure she is 18 but it is a perfectly grown up movie. Whatever her reason though she should have still presented with Rob up on the stage.
Rather than bash Kristin- did you ever consider maybe they DIDN’T ask her to present. That sounds like a Dad taking up for his daughter to me if maybe she wasn’t asked. Or, maybe she’s not that comfortable with all of the media stuff- maybe she didn’t want this kind of pressure. She’s not as comfortable with all of the media attention as Rob is-he’s kind of a natural- but I am sure she’ll get used to it more as time goes on. Let’s not all be a bunch of Rosalie’s!
Her acting did suck badly in several places in Twilight, so she/her father have no right to act superior. At all.
I wish they had cast Ellen Page, or someone else.
So it would seem that doesn’t think ANY of her movies were good enough to give her a place as presenter, then?
I was wondering all this time why Kristen wasn’t there to present with Rob. At first I though she just wasn’t invited which made me feel really bad for her. However,
if this is true, then I am very put off by Kristen’s arrogance. I agree that twilight was not the best movie, but I think she should have more gratitiude and not snub the film and the oscars like that.
It just makes me like Rob all the more.
What an insult ! Thats such a terrible, inapporiate thing to say. I think its absolute bogus, expecially since Twilight was a good movie. Maybe not Oscar-worthy, as was said, but it definitely deserved recognition for the hard work put into it. A lot of people put a lot of time and effort into the movie, and thats what the Oscars are about. Clearly, Kristen is too ridiculously rude to understand that.
and if she didnt want her father saying such things, she could have easily made it clear.
OKAY. Her dad might have been referring to WHATEVER movie she would be presenting, NOT necessarily Twilight. How about that???
Yeah, I think its a bit hurtful to say that. She’s agreed to star in these movies but she seems to not be proud of her work. BUT she ought to improve on her performance cause it was anything but good in Twilight. Does she feel the pressures of being typecast or being known for just one teen blockbuster? Well indie flicks don’t get much attention and none of her indie movie so far have been “big awards-show” worthy. Being at the Oscars means getting attention which is a good thing for an actor. I think she doesn’t like the glitz either.
It’s one thing to have a bad attitude about something that is making you alot of money but another thing to make it public. Even if it was her dad that said it you know she has also said it. She has a right to her opinion, but most actors who have been in really bad films try to keep their opinions to themselves. Very unprofessional. Oh and Robert did really well without her!
I think we should remember that the statment did not come out of her mouth. Maby that was a Dad statment and not hers and maby she did not want to deal with the trouble of disagreeing with Dad. I dont know even comming from her dad i am not going to take it as face value unless it comes from her. Also Kristen does not like doing interviews and things and when you watch you can sometimes tell she is uncomfortable. She fidgets and scratches her neck. Usually when she does an interview with someone she lets the other person do all of the talking. Weather its Nikki Reed or Rob. I wonder if maby she just was not conforable presenting its very diffrent to act for a small group of actors and other crew then stand up infrount of hundered of people and talk. Kristen also said that she knew twilight had a large fanbase but she had thought that it would be more like in Indi film.
Thats what i think but it could be i have been watching to much youtube
Hmmmm, I think having overzealous and self-righteous fans jumping down her throat for something she didn’t even say and quite obviously taken out of context by the media to get a few more clicks is exactly why she hates to be in the limelight for this movie, lol. Personally I think hating all the unwanted attention and psychotic bashing and wanting to rise above the media frenzy is actually quintessential Bella.
She wouldn’t have accepted the role if she didn’t feel a connection with Bella. She wouldn’t have cast Rob as Edward if they didn’t have chemistry. Heck he wouldn’t even be in this movie if it weren’t for her good taste, lol. And Rob himself said that he only wanted to do the movie because he knew how serious she is as an actress and hence it will turn out to be something more than just another meaningless blockbuster. All the Rob lovers hating on Kristen and whatnot - I think it’s time to realize that he wasn’t great as Edward despite of Kristen; he was awesome BECAUSE of her. For me, when it comes to Twilight, those two are like bagel and cream cheese. One can’t be great without the other.
So she didn’t appreciate the chance present at the almighty Oscars. *GASP* Blasphemy! Pffffft. God, some people need to be like Kristen and just grow up.
i am so sick of everyone bagging out kristen for not presenting, has anyone thought that the reason she did not present was because she was nervous and also who can blame her the same people who are attacking her for not presenting are the same ones who have knocked her performance in the film. No wonder she didnt want to present if she was in fact asked, because all you haters would have had another reason to bash her. She probably feels so hated by all rob fans and didnt feel worthy of presenting after how much she has been attacked for her performance. Also that was what her dad said not her, i bet she would have said that she was too nervous.
Wow, she seems ungrateful no? Yes, the Oscar producers wanted to get the younger viewers to watch, hence the invitation of Zac Effron, Vanessa Hudgens and of course Rob all of whom have garnered recent successes. They prob wouldn’t have been asked if they weren’t in very successful movies but still it is a RECOGNITION from the Oscars to be invited. If its true and Kristen was asked and declined the inviation for the reasons her dad stated, well its just a slap in the face ESPECIALLY if she still attended. It seems as if she thinks she is above all of this and the others who did accept the invites. If its all true then I’m sorry but thats just lame!
Rather than bash Kristen about this, we should all wait and see if it REALLY was her who said those things. I mean those words didn’t come out of her mouth, it was her father who said these things. We all know she doesnt like the limelight and thats understandable, the whole interview and papparazzi thing is not for everyone and we all know she acts not because of the fame and the fortune but because she actually likes it and appriciates the art of acting. I might be alone in my opinion but until I hear otherwise I’m not taking what her father said to heart.
I think its her own life, and she can do whatever she wants. She has that “nobody is going to tell me what to do” atttude about her life which gives her an edge. She is not going to change herself for anyone.
I think she also is very mature for her age and is serious about her acting, which might be why she was not entirely happy with Twilight. I think she can do alot with New Moon if the script and the new director lets her establish Bella’s character further than the typical teenager that Bella was in Twilight, and we hopefully will see more sides of her Bella in New Moon.
HOLY CRAP! None of you people even really know her. You don’t know her personality and what she is like in real life. How would you act with camera’s in your face all the time. Some people just handle being in the spotlight differently than others!!
My opinion is if you can’t be proud of what you do, why do it?Whether she said it or her dad said it, it was still said.Everybody knows the book is always better then the movie.But it dosen’t mean it wasn’t good.If the movie wasn’t good then by extension the book wasn’t good.I think that’s a slap in the face to Stephenie Meyer.Yes it is a phenomenon started by a book,but at least teenagers are buying and reading these books.She really needs to stop bashing the movie and check what her dad says to the press, if only for her own good.
If she doesn’t like the movie or at least doesn’t think its a “great movie” then maybe she should be REPLACED with someone who does and with someone who really enjoys making this film.
well, that’s my answer for her not coming to the oscar. Blah, yesterday, i had feeling sorry for her, now, never, it’s good she is not coming to the OSCAR.
For all the fans who is defend on kristen, can you just see, she is not a new actress stuff, she has doing acting since she is 10 and she had been surrounded by hollywood things since the day she was born. she is not new in all this fame.. it’s why i think her dad is so rude, she is not angelina jolie and audrey hepburn and she is still very young, she could not have solid performance like kate winslet, so, why she has to bothered feeling she is the biggest stars since twilight, she is just a teen stars, i do hopeful that she could accept the hype and trying to act more better because there is a lot of actress which is more better than her, it’s just happened the twilight is give it to her,
i totally agree with you Kristin. (the above poster…not kristen stewart!)
I agree with Helen. She hates all this stuff-the media and hoopla, if she said no to presenting, I am not surprised. Maybe she was afraid she’d screw it up and then, what would people say? Anyway, this quote didn’t come from her and Dad should probably keep his mouth shut. What in the world was he doing on the red carpet anyway?
And, Rob does not need Kristen to hold his hand. He’s 4 years older than her and he did a Great Job with Amanda. And the word “vampire” was actually spoken on the Oscar stage-how cool is that?
Talk about biting the hand that feeds you.
Good movie or not, she chose to be in Twilight and should have enough pride in her work to promote and be proud of it.
Lots opinions all over the map on this one.
As has been stated, this was her father speaking. None of us have any way of knowing if she said this, thought this, believed this, or was even there. Did anyone see her? There was only about ten million photographers there. Why hasn’t a photo of her shown up?
I would think a photo of her would be tossed in the crap pile of hateful gossip along the the Aniston/Jolie circus. If there is a possiblity of conflict, the blood-letting from the media would be fierce.
As for her knocking Twilight, I don’t buy it. Obviously she doesn’t buy into the just-put-me-in-front-of-the-camera craziness. But, she did travel all of the world promoting the film. She is signed to do at least the next two. She would not be the first actor to not enjoy seeing herself on screen. Rob said the same thing. Hates to see himself. This could translate to thinking “I could have done this, or this better.” Before we take her head off, let’s make sure of our facts.
Yes, she is only eighteen, and has had her world turned up side down. Do you want to see another repeat of Britney Spears?
I say cut Kristen some slack. Rob too. The movie was only released a little over three months ago. They are still working on this crazy fame thing. How about showing some support? We are fans, right?
I think she just doesn’t feel that she deserved to present at that particular awards show based on her twilight fame, i don’t think it had anything to do with her being arrogant or not proud of twilight. She is still proud of the movie because she has said so in many interviews and she wouldn’t be doing the second and third if she wasn’t. I respect her for not presenting just to get more attention, no disrespect to any other presenters.
I am really trying to like KS, but the more she opens her mouth the harder it is. Does she think that she is better than her co-stars? Honestly, I do think that her performance in Twilight was not even close to the top of the list in that movie. Maybe, it was just her father running his mouth and not really what she thought.
I’m really sad about this. Why would Kristen or her Dad say that??I mean we all know that Twilight wasn’t nominated for Oscars, it isn’t even Oscar material, but we still love it.SERIOUSLY, why would her Dad say that..They should try to appreciate Twilight because it has given Kristen a boost to popularity and a wide range of fan base.
And I think Oscar material or not every actor should be proud of the movies they made.And to think that Kristen has been acting since forever..I think between her and Rob she would be the more professional not ARROGANT.
If the opinion of Kristen and her Dad is the same, then I think we need to let our voices heard. WE DON’T NEED THIS CRAP COMING FROM THEM, even if she’s playing Bella or not. And even if she agrees with her father or not, this will be a HUGE IMPACT on her. She should tell her Dad to shut up. SO I THINK KRISTEN WOULDN’T BE SURPRISED IF A LOT OF US HATES.
I’m so glad that Rob came to the Oscars. He is so HUMBLE and was really really GRATEFUL for being chosen as one of the presenters.HE really is a great GUY and ACTOR. And we are all very very proud of him.=)
Wow…what a statement her Dad made, well at least its her Dad’s. Robert n Kristen will move forward as a result to the fans love but I pray(because I adore them so) they will choose to move forward humbly and remember no matter how talented one is, how good the movie or script is,if that actor or actress is not liked due to their aloofness and ungratefulness,everything will die down… work would not come in, talent would not sharpen and thats it… we have seen so many and I hope it would not happen to Robert n Kristen. Just say ‘THANK YOU’,the screams are screams of love and a prove that you have done well.Smile often in return…
She can do whatever she wants, but I disagree with her. If she does think the movie wasn’t great, it seems like an insult to the rest of the cast, crew, and director. It was great for the tiny budget they had. I agree that her acting isn’t very good. I wish they could recast the role of Bella. I can’t believe there was once a petition to get rid of Rob, but not one to cast a new actress for Bella.
As Edward said in Twilight “You (we) don’t know anything.”
Let Kristen speak for herself then everyone can comment justifiably.
wow. i cannot believe her dad said that. i really don’t know what’s up with her lately. i really didnt like the new interview she did with that magazine and now shes saying stuff about her movie that she was supposed to be so proud of be apart of… i think thats degrading to alot of people who liked the movie. i respect that rob doesn’t like the limelight either and he still went out and presented and it would have been alot less awkward if kristen was out there presenting with him for the love category other than some girl he just met the day before. i never had a problem with kristen stewart till now, shes really starting to push it.
Although I am sad when I hear (KS) make negative comments in interviews, do you remember what you were like at 18? At 18, you think you know everything and have extremely strong opinions. That doesn’t really change until you are on your own, been humbled a few times and learn there are other people in the world besides you. She’ll learn the hard way.
I think Kristen doesn’t appreciate what the movie has done for her. To be honest, I didn’t even know who she was until she did the movie. I was even more shocked to know that she has been acting for a while now because frankly her acting skills are sub par . You can clearly see the effort that Rob Pattinson put into becoming Edward Cullen. I wish she had tried harder to be a better Bella as well rather than sounding like a bumbling idiot half the time.
She should be kicked off the movies because someone who actually like the books and was into Twilight would be more passionate about playing Bella. She doesn’t see the beauty of who Bella really is. She should not be making a movie that she doesn’t believe in. It’s an injustice to Stephenie Meyer’s work and injustice to everyone watching it.
When I first read this, I felt like I had been punched in the gut. But now, after I read everyone’s statements, I am sad. No matter who said the quote, the quote was said! But what right does that give us to say horrific things about her.
We have to remember, as fans, we don’t have the right to scrutinize the actor/actresses life. We have a right to enjoy the movies they let us watch.
As a fan of Twilight, I hope that we can all get past this. Knowing that whether she meant what her father said, or not, she is portraying one of our favorite characters, and she is a person who may not like the spotlight, but is good at what she does. She shouldn’t have to be someone she’s not.
I agree with what Creamy said above, saying she doesn’t seem like the type of person who likes to do movies because of the fame. she likes to do movies, because she has a passion, and she should always follow what leads her.
I also agree that we need to cut them both some slack, they are the characters that brought Edward and Bella to life…we owe them a little slack for doing that for us!
So, please be a little bit more positive, and supportive.
I’m sorry and I know that everyone will hate me for this-but I don’t think that Kristen was wrong to not present. I hate when actors become self-important. I also think that means that Kristen was extremely aware of the shotty acting throughout the movie. Frankly, Rob shouldn’t have presented either. Oscars should be reserved for movies that have emotional/creative grit. Not novels that were destroyed by making them into teeny bopper messes.
Plus, I’m starting to get the vibe that she might be trying to avoid Rob.
I agree with Brittany. I think she wants to earn a spot as a presenter on her own merit not just because she was thrust into the spotlight playing one of our favorite characters. If you’ve watched any of her interviews you know she doesn’t do a movie unless she loves it.
That ungrateful girl should look at the actors/DIRECTOR/SCREENWRITER who ruined this movie ! THE BOOK WAS WONDERFUL AND THE MOVIE JUST DIDN’T LIVE UP TO IT !!!
KRISTEN THINKS SHE’S TOO GOOD FOR THIS so called IMMATURE BOOK/STORY ! And if Rob thinks that too he CAN GO TO HELL !! SORRY I’M SICK OF THESE ACTORS THINKING their better than Twilight ! I ADORE AND LOVE THESE BOOKS AND IF THEY MESS IT UP THEY HAVE SOMETHING ELSE COMING TO THEM !!!
Yes I’m offended. She pretty much belitted us for being devoted to the series. Sorry it made a lot of money but come on! She is not even a highly respected actress yet and that’s not a cool way to piss off the fans. We, Twilight Fans, made everything possible for the film and the books.
Step off your high horse, Ms Stewart, and start to learn to appericate what’s offered in front of your nose! We don’t need to see your nose from the sky!
i dont think it has to do with it not being a good movie, of all of her other interviews she has said that she loved being a part of twilight and looks forward to the other films…i think she just didnt want to be used to raise ratings because she was in a movie that a lot of people went to see and made a ton of money. i think she would have done it had it been for the right reasons. her father just didnt put it the right way. im not saying that it wasnt great to have rob there and see him on stage. Rob saw what a big opportunity this was, but in Kristen’s case she is an 18 year old who has strong opinions and saw it as being used for being in a popular film
Seriously, who the heck does she think she is? She needs to get off her high horse and come down a few notches in humility. IT’S NOT LIKE YOU HAVE TO EVEN HAVE A MOVIE OUT TO PRESENT AT THE OSCARS! And it’s not like she was supposed to go on there to pimp her movie…if anything, she would have just been asked to introduce a segment or present an award to another actor. Soon she’s gonna find herself in a situation where studios won’t want to hire her because she’s so horribly negative in public and a jerk to her fans. And if that doesn’t happen, she’ll at least offend all her fans to the point that they won’t go see her in any of her other “amazing” movies…but I don’t think people are really too interested in watching a movie about 2 gay male inmates played by 2 females anyway, so I guess she’ll finally get what she wants when nobody gives a crap about her future movies and she doesn’t have to deal with the media.
If this is really true, it’s an insult to everybody who worked on Twilight. Sad!
Hmmm, I’m probably reading into this too much, but doesn’t it seem like Kristen’s dad is the one that convinced her not to present at the Oscars? The way he said “Kristen would present at the Oscars . . . ” as if he’s telling her what to do??? I dunno, it just seems like Kristen is the one getting slapped in the face over her dad saying that it’s not a great movie — she was the main character in it, so just what are you saying, DAD???
Like I said, probably reading into it . . .
I have to agree with Sarah ^ none of us personally know her in her day-to-day life but whether she had said the comment or if it was purely from her dad the comment was made and it just doesn’t look good to your producer if your bagging on their movie from any perspective with your name tied to it. (and I might add that these little Twilight bashing comments keep flowing from her direction)
We all know Twilight could have been WAY better but nonetheless we all seemed to enjoy it enough to pre-order our DVDs
but she should be proud of what she did if anything for the learning experience of it. And although it wasn’t oscar-worthy it was a good movie and in my opinion a great starting point for the other movies to get better and more detailed ( I mean we all know the movie was an experiment)
and KUDOS for Rob getting up there and presenting i enjoyed watching his charming awkwardness via my TV screen
I really hope KS isn’t ashamed of her Twilight roots just because of its major Tween/Teen fan base and I also hope she understands its ok not to be in ALL indie films and I hope she comes to terms with the fact that Twilight is her big brake out role and its OK we love her in it
I want to give her the benefit of the doubt. She did not say this. Her father did. She has been known to say some nasty things, but I think she did enjoy playing Bella. I mean didn’t she buy a Bella like trunk. I don’t know.
I just had to do this, I looked up a picture of who the heck this John Stewart guy was and here’s what I found:
[url]http://www.contactmusic.com/pics/lb/kristen_stewart_220109/kristen_stewart_2258247.jpg[/url]
Looks like a real winner!!
If her father really said that, it was incredibly tacky and insulting. Yeah, it wasn’t Oscar worthy but we all still liked it. And, it got her and Rob seen by alot of folks. Which in turn, means more opportunities.
i actually understand her piont of view.. she knows that we only loved the movie BECAUSE we loved the book. if the movie came out without the book it wouldn’t have made much money at all, let alone have any fans. kristin is just setting higher standards for herself and i think that’s really imortant. of course that being the reason of not presenting the oscars does seem a bit weird… i mean, it should have been an honour to be asked to be a presenter..
I really want to hear what Kristen’s own answer about this, not his father’s… Kristen (if you read this), please tells us why you didn’t present/attend the Oscars? …
True, it was her dads comments and not her own. But wow! I have heard so many rude things actually come from her mouth about Twilight lately. Just take this months Nylon magazine, she says the “b.s.” questions she’s asked from fans are “thought less”. In another interview she said Twilight fans are retarded. In another she says he has crossed her mind to walk away from the sequels. Ok. That doesn’t sound mature to me. That sounds like an egotistical, pretentious little brat. Personally I loved loved loved her as Bella until I hear her speak in real life about the film so offensively. And she does it often, I forgave and forgot 1,2,3,4 times, maybe more. It’s starting to get a little annoying now. I realize she has talent and she takes her “craft” seriously and I understand Twilight was debateable in the quality department. But if she’s doing the sequels, she needs to get an edit button already. I honestly think that’s unprofessional and vain, and now I know where she gets it from. And trust me I’ve tried to like her.. I want to like her! She just makes it pretty difficult sometimes.
Oh Yes, Kristen, please, do us all a favor and drop out of the sequels. If this is really the reason she didn’t present than she is rude and ungrateful and insulting to those who chose to present and considered it an honor - like it is. What a snot. The last straw for me. She wasn’t even the best part of Twilight which wasn’t that great of a film.
Well that is pretty terrible to say but she didn’t say it exacally….
I agree with Jill that her dad might have had some influence on this decision — that was my intuitive reaction , although it’s hard to believe a father would dismiss his child’s film as less than stellar,especially publicly. There is,too, truth to the notion that both Rob and Kristin were being “used” to draw in young viewers. While Rob probably saw it as a career opportunity, maybe Kristin is more of an idealist (especially if her parents felt that way). Each made his/her own decision.
I have to wonder, too, if Kristin’s relationship with her special friend Michael might be getting a little uncomfortable after almost a year of being thrown together with the incredibly good-looking and apparently very nice Rob. If she was trying to keep the romance rumors from intensifying, not appearing with him to present the romance category might have been a smart move.
WOW!!!! What a statement! What a comment! Was that her answer “‘“When it’s a great movie, not just one that makes a lot of money.’” Whether that is her answer or her father…that is harsh! Terribly harsh! Stabbed through the heart to all the fans! Back when she was at Sundance…she was so stuck-up and blasphemy against the very reason individuals would die to become an actor! Her future opportunity in ever presenting for the Oscars in the future are very slim. Unless she does a spectacular performance that will shake her “Bella” persona. I am still totally “put-off” that “Little Ashes” was moved to MAY instead of leaving it for the end of March. Let’s see who will go and see “Adventureland” that is on the same weekend as “Little Ashes”.
Robert was pleased and grateful that he got the part of “Edward”. He did not know how big the movie was going to be…but Kristen acted like it was no big F— Deal! (Go in, do the job and leave.) I would like to see a much more “dainty” “delicate” Bella than how Kristen portrayed her.
I think I said too much… yes, I agree with everyone who felt that bashing and bagging on a movie that had such success and such a turn-of-events and yes WE all know that it could have been better… only if there was more money involved to make future sequels in this case looking hell a lot better than “Twilight” had turned out.
My older sister said it was an “okay” movie (she finally saw it last Saturday) and my younger sister and I (me 3rd time) and she said “I have seen worse.”
We all have different opinions of how the movie turned out. There is not excuse for a statement like that…even if it was from her own mouth. I wonder what Rob thinks or Summit?
Seriously? I rarely like her movies and now she comes off sounding holier than thou - she needs to get a clue that she is not “all that” and many MANY of us consider her a poor actor for the role of Bella to begin with. The movie sucked in a large part BECAUSE of her, as well as the editing and special effects…
I honestly predict that she will NEVER win an Oscar since she has such a problem with interviews AND she is the most stoic actor I think I have ever seen…much of her stuff is the same and I rarely ever see REAL emotion in her acting…The only one that was even remotly decent was Into The Wild…and even that was not the greatest because of her…not to mention the fact that she comes off as having a chip on her shoulder and feels the acting world should “take a page from her book”, at least thats how she comes off to viewers…and Oscar has been notorious for snubbibg those types…
All I can say is: “way to go, dad” to her father…that comment was pretty nasty and makes her look bad just as much as it does for him.
On a final note - it has been said that she was not even asked to present…mainly because she has zero onscreen effective personality and has about “as much transferrable offscreen to onscreen depth as a rock.”…ouch - but whoever said that was right on.
I really thought that they hadn’t asked her. I don’t care for her because of her interviews and they she seems to look down on Rob. Professionally, not becoming at all. I have been hoping that Dakota Fanning will be signed for New Moon in hopes that some of her skill will rub off on Kristen. I honestly don’t think she is red carpet material, at least not now.
Wow, Amanda!!!! I did not know all that. You are so right. You are like me, I want to like her because she is Bella, now I say why. The only thing I want her to do is not screw up Bella!! All she needs to do is her JOB!!! No where in her job description does it say that she has to be a good person, and I don’t have to like her as a person.The only time I will pay attention to what she says is when she is on the screen as Bella. After “The Twilight Saga” movies are over she will go on with her life and so will I. You know we have been thinking that Summit is moving with a quickness with these movies for the huge payout (which is def. the main reason) but, maybe they also may just want to make sure the films are made with most of the main cast intact. Just a thought….
Sounds to me like we have an ungrateful, I’m entitled, snot-nosed, bratty teen on our hands…her acting is chilly, she is an awful interview, tries to come across as so well-versed and worldly-wise ans fails miserably when doing it.
She needs to grow-up, learn that she is NOT the cat’s meow and give a little respect to others before she can EVER hope to recieve any in return.
It is an honor to present at the Oscars, no matter why you were asked and she was NOT asked to begin with…in fact, she did not opt to go in the side entrance,she was asked to because many were asked to keep the Red Carpet less jammed and more punctual…In the end, this comment will be remembered for a long time to come, both by the Academy AND her fellow actors and actresses…as many well know, the Acacdemy has a LONG memory when it comes to “snotty, self-righteous stars” snubbing them for any reason…
I love it all but did ANYONE of you see the movie I saw? It was TERRIBLE. Yes, I said it: Twilight SUCKED. Robert over acted as did EVERYONE in that movie and he is probably the only one who didn’t watch his own performance.
I say Chris Weitz’ #1 deal in directing will be to force Robert to watch himself. Then advise on how to NOT overdo it.
I don’t think Kristen has enough pull to say she didn’t present because of how she felt about Twilight, but I don’t blame her.
I think we all know that Rob saved that movie. Kristen’s a good actress, but not that good. In the acting world it’s an honor to be asked to appear on the Oscar telecast and Kristen could have just kicked herself with her decline. I don’t think she was there, if she was she was hidden pretty well. I believe sometime soon Rob will be a nominee, I can’t say the same for Kristen, she doesn’t have the attitude it takes to be a great actress.
Because she was raised in Hollywood and the status her parents have, she could care less what the fans of Twilight think of her. At least she has stayed true to being a stuck up witch. I see she takes after her father.
Kristen should have NEVER participated in the movie if her heart wasn’t in it. The role could have went to someone else that could have done a better job, appreciated the opprotunity it presented, (since Kristen doesn’t need any more of those since she is friends with everyone “that matters” in LA). There are people in these films that werent’ blessed with parents paving the way for them, They actually try, and take pride in their work. Oscar worthy or not. Please get rid of this chick now.
I will never watch another movie she is in again after this. Ughhh…. I could never stand this girls acting, and NOW it’s her attitude. She’s a Jodi Foster wanna be.
She can stay out of the press and make as many rude comments as she wants to. Life itself will give her the “B-Slap” wakeup call, when she least expects it, and then watch her tumble down and become born again. Happens every time. She’s a dime a dozen. I just feel bad for the rest of the cast. I hope her haughtiness doesn’t rub off on them.
What it boils down to for me was that her acting *sucked* in Twilight…END OF STORY! It was forced, silly, and unbelievable as the vulnerable, timid, awkward Bella. To me, I felt that just under the surface she was
going to burst out and say “Im gonna kick your ass”…I don’t know. But you know what, time will tell what happens to her career. If her rudeness continues, it’s definitely going to take a bite out of her “Hollywood”
life. Now, if she’s embarassed to be in Twilight, can you imagine how she’s going to feel after playing Joan
Jett!?!? Yeah that’s box office money…gahhhh!
for me, kristen dad or kristen is always same, they hate to be circled in twilight hype. Why ??? because she is so down to earth or she is too good to be in twilight movie?? all the fame is playing by media, any comments they gave would be have some impact….
so, when you still having comments about her and her dad rude comments in other opinion, before you would like to write it, please, think little bit, the father and the daughter is insult the twilight movie, and for what ?? in any other way, they should not bash over twilight, they were paid by summit to do the job, it’s not free and that is the way kristen make money……
if she hate it so much why don’t she dropped it all sequels, the actors was paid to do the job, and i am just fan..i hate when she is always complaining….lol
If the comment truly came from her then I believe that she has not only disappointed her fans but her fellow Twilight actors. No one predicted the extent of popularity that the movie and the actors would receive. I can understand her feelings about trying to maintain her artistic integrity but it’s a business and at this point in her young career I really think she should have just sucked-it up and gone to the Ball. (Not to mention that the industry execs will probably remember this and keep it for future reference.) If her father was quoted correctly, then her father should take part responsibility for damaging her popularity further and possibly speaking his mind instead of hers. He should have given her better advice and told her to attend and put on her best dress and show her beautiful face and smile alongside Rob. After all, her father was at the Oscars, right?
To Kristen: As you know, life is not easy and you have chosen a very fickle and harsh industry to display your talent… talent and brains which you obviously have - it’s hard sometimes to remember that you are only 18 years old because there is substance to your words when asked meaningful questions. However, your young age does at times surface, very bitingly, just like an 18 year old trying to establish their place in adulthood. If these were truly your comments, then just a word of advice - I think you should retract them quickly. I’m not critizing your idealistic visions of how the industry should be but hope that as you mature you’ll understand that you need to be realistic as well - try to keep it balanced. It’s okay to lean a little more one way than the other because it is what sets you apart from the rest but don’t lean too far one way or you’ll fall and it may be difficult to come back up. So do yourself a favor and reach out to those fans who may not be as fond of you as they are of Rob and let them know why you were not at the Oscars standing with him. He really did look a bit pathetic up there without you - it just didn’t work, the magic was not there. But before giving a comment please remember to mind your manners and be respectful with your comments and provide the “tween” fans with a statement that is real and truly from your heart so they can appreciate and understand the unique individual that you are. Remember that they are young and impressionable and harsh words do cut to the core so be sensitive with your words and give these “tween” fans a reason to adore you with a new understanding.
I have been trying to give Kristen the benefit of the doubt for quite a while but this comment from her father, which are probably her feelings, is unforgiveable. I remember an interview question answer thing she did with Rob and Stephenie Meyer where she said the Twilight fame has given her the ability to make different movie choices and get some projects she wants to do funded. This is a slap in the face to her fellow actors. For crying out loud, it was the Oscars and she should have felt honored to even be asked to participate. I for one will not pay to see any of her movies going forward, aside from the Twilight Saga movies. Hurrah for Rob getting up there. I hope he has a long career.
Ok so I have nothing against Kristen but all I have to say that I was VERY surprise by that statement. I don’t follow her work much but I just think that was sort of rude. It’s cool that she didn’t want to present but at least she doesn’t have to bash the movie that made her what she is today. I just think she needs to give at lesat some credit to Twilight and not bash it. Rob doesn’t like the attention at time either and you don’t see him bahsing the movie. I’m just saying be a lil more greatful.
You people are so bi-polar. One minute you love Kristen, the next minute you hate her, the next you love her again. Make up your minds. Have you ever thought that maybe it’s because of your flippant attitudes toward her that she doesn’t want to do publicity. Who would?
If any of you have read or watched how her father acts and talks with the media, you would probably believe (as I do) that those were her father’s words, and not Kristen’s. He has a very big mouth and is very rude to the media.
As for Kristen being uncomfortable with interviews, again try to remember the response of all the so-called “twilight fans” when she was cast. You people have never really given her a chance. She has even said she has to be very careful with what she says, because you people will tear her apart if she says something you don’t like. Guess what? These responses proves SHE WAS RIGHT!!!
If Rob was to say the same thing, you people would think it was cute. It all sounds like Bella envy (Kristen envy) to me. GET OVER YOURSELVES!!!
I do like her; but Kristen- don’t bite the hand that feeds you…
What was her Father thinking??? You don’t bite the hand that feeds you or your daughter’s. The Entertainment Business is cut throat you have to watch your step. Bad mouthing your current project is a good way to end up with no projects. True her father was the one that was shootinging his mouth off and he knows better. But KS has gotten out of line more than once. She’s a young actress she needs to watch herself and her mouth. She might want to think back to “Panic Room”, Jodie Foster’s a pretty good role model.
Kristen did say she thought Twilight was going to be small. I don’t think she would have taken the part if she had known how big it was going to be. I thought she was fantastic in “Speak”. I think she’s just taking herself too seriously right now, it’s not a young thing, it’s a maturity thing. But 1) her dad should not have spoken for her, let alone say what he did 2)It has to be hard knowing that the only reason you were invited to the Oscars is to draw younger viewers and it had nothing to do with how well you do your job. I’d be insulted too. But I’d be smart enough to keep my mouth shut to the media.
Lately, I am beginning to wonder about Kristin S. I have noticed that her behaviour towards the press leaves alot to be desired, in the way of f.ex. simple politeness. This remark, made by her father, seems to confirm my growing suspicions; she is way to stuck-up. I actually do not, for the life of me, have any doubts anymore, that she and Rob would definately not be suited together! He’s such a gentleman! Good actress or not, doesn’t help if the publicly displayed personality sucks. Kristin needs to watch the attitude, because it’s beginning to feel like it would not matter much to me, if we had a new Bella; more soft, feminin and lovable.
Kristen’s Father made Kristen and himself sound like the most UNGRATEFUL, CONCEITED people alive. He didn’t do her any favors saying that. If that is how they feel they should’ve kept that to themselves. We all want to think that she loves playing Bella, where she is also playing me or any other woman or person who puts themselves into Bella’s character. That is what makes the series so magical. Her father just confirmed Kristen and himself think they are too good for the Twilight, which has only been a blessing in their lives. Don’t bash something that still has 3 more movies. We want to love Kristen as our Bella and I cannot enjoy it knowing that she doesn’t want to be there and wanting to change it all because she is just way to above playing Bella as she should. What makes a good movie John Stewart?? Way to support your daughter!! Maybe you should’ve taken the MEDIA LESSONS!!!!! You need to clean up the mess that you threw up into the FAN!! So tomorrow you will be Twilight’s biggest fan right?? And Kristen I hope you truly were not invited to present at the Oscars, because it would really hurt to find that your father was right about you both. I hope it was just him being UNsupported of you. I really grew to love you playing Bella. I hope that you prove that you want to be in her shoes for us all. Get your Dad off the red carpet. If he is doing the dirty work for you, Quit Bella now!! I would be more than happy to love a real Bella. John Stewart you ought to have respect for people and their feelings. Look at who you hurt by saying that. Not just me or Twilight fans….Everyone involved.
I hope that she doesn’t continue to listen to her fatherly advice,I have yet to see him even get nominated for an Oscar,hope she doesn’t let his “small” beliefs ruin her image,unless she thinks she is bigger than life now and is making some grandios statement by not showing up,she’s not yet a big enough star to make these kinds of stands yet.Why did she even bother to attend? Now RPattz,he has class,and charm and humility,he is a perfect,humble being,that I am sure isn’t influenced by what anyone else feels about this movie,Bravo Robert Bravo!!
From what I have seen of Kristen Stewart, She genuinely does love Twilight and the Character and The Story. However, from what I’ve seen of her father, he is bordering on being hollywoods version of Damir Dokic. He was probably just expressing his own opinion, he seems a little controlling.
this is just too weird, there are many things going on in hollywood that we don’t know…but i just wonder would Kristin really say those things…is she really like that… and why would she say it, she probably knows that there will be negative repercussions…i hope she comes out and clear this up…for your fan’s sake.
The difference between Rob and Kristen.. Rob Pattinson gave a quick quote to the Chicago Sun Times,
“Now Pattinson heads back north to Canada to work on both “New Moon” and the third film in the vampire series, which the actor says “will keep me on a treadmill” for some time to come. “But I’m not complaining. There are so many unemployed actors — especially now. … I feel very fortunate.”
Hmm.. Kristen let’s take a page from Robs book and act a little grateful, shall we?
The more I read about Kristen, the less I like her. If that comment, via her father, is actually legitimate, then she’s not only taking a swipe at the movie, but a personal swipe at Rob Pattinson.
I admire the blunt honesty however the more I hear from Kristan Stewert the more she irriatates me. The movie was good and “just one that makes alot of money” because of the devoted fans whom “just set her up for just a bigger pay cheque”. As far as I’m concerned Kristan can say or have someone say on her behalf what she pleases. One things for sure though I wont be reading/watching her interviews any time soon.
OUCH! WTF? I thought she was passionate about the Twilight series? That’s hurtful & insulting. That takes nerve, whether it actually came from Kristen or her father. Don’t bite the hand that feeds you Kristen. Damn
If the actors hate the movie they’re in, how are fans supposed to enjoy that? Between Rob and Kristen always putting it down for one reason or another, it’s very disappointing. Nothing quite kills the mood like the very stars you love in a movie telling you basically that it sucks. Have some respect for your fans, for the process, and for the opportunities that it brings. I mean really, it’s not even over yet and if you dislike it so much, why are you here?
While I agree with many of you, Kristen does have a tendency to come off as harsh and/or condescending, perhaps it’s a matter of not understanding the person she is. She has, many times, stated that she isn’t good/comfortable with direct attention (i.e. interviews and the like). Some people, no matter how much practice they might get or how many years they have to deal with it, they will never look at ease when they are in the hot seat. She is better at playing a part than she is being herself on camera. And while I think she is extremely intelligent, she has a hard time portraying that when someone is shooting questions at her. I’m not defending the attitude she sometimes portrays when referencing Twilight, but I wonder if sometimes her answers aren’t her attempt at humor…something she has said she is NO GOOD AT. As for her not presenting at the Oscars? She is awkward in front of the camera. We know this. She knows this. And maybe she’s tired of people criticising her for awkwardness in interviews. Nevermind that she’s tired of the tabloid news of her and Rob. We all know they’d have a field day with those two presenting for “romantic moments”. Yes, it’s something one has to deal with when they’re in the spotlight…but why put yourself in that position if you don’t have to? Who knows what prompted her decision not to present…nerves, not feeling well, a tragedy in her personal life…or maybe, she just wasn’t interested. Sorry for my long-winded reply. I just hate someone being “bashed” because they are misunderstood or because they are disagreed with on something that everyone seems to have one of…their opinion.
Because whether or not I agree with her decisions or the way she thinks, I have to remember she is only human. An awkward, eighteen year old human, who wants to be understood, but doesn’t connect well with people and really has no idea how to begin to.
I have always loved Kristen Stewart, mainly for her honesty and being so blunt about everything. I love her as Bella. However, I think that she is definitely shooting herself in the foot on this one. If the Academy Awards are requesting your presence and you decline, that is not good for your reputation and may come in to play for any future nominations or wins. She needs to be careful to not offend anyone. I know that Twilight was not the best film in the world, but if the Oscars recognized it, then it must have mad some sort of impact. Take notice, Kristen!
Very interesting. I hope she clears this up before her new movie comes out. Because if she does not see and appreciate the popularity that Twilight has dropped into her lap I may have to reconsider going to see Adventureland because of her being in the movie. I do not know if the plot alone would have gotten me to the movie, but I did have plans to see it BECAUSE of Kristen. Maybe Adventureland promoters will see the benifits of Kristen learning to be thankful and riding this Twilight band wagon as far as the money trail will take them.
I for one was glad not to see her face up there next to Robs! (Squee)
She is not that great of a personality. Not that great of an actress. Her acting is what made Twilight less than it could have been. She would have been better in say Pineapple Express or Dumb & Dumber or even Pokemon 11. And what I really think is that Hollywood knows she is a homely little poser and they did not even request her presence.Some things take a while to die down and her and her wee pot pipe I think are still too fresh in peoples memories for her to have appeared at the Oscars. Ala Michael Phelps. So do not bemoan her lack of appearance, applaud it because we got to see the Twilighter that really matters. EDWARD!!! uh…Robert Pattinson. We are stuck with Kristen for these movies just pray that she gets an acting coach, and gets over herself.
First there is a possibility as Jen said that maybe it had to do with the movie she would be presenting the movie for.
Second of all media does twist things around, taking in and taking out certain things.
Third, Kristen herself has said in numerous interveiws that she doesn’t do anything unless she feels it, meaning she did Twilight because she felt it, so why would she completely put it down?
Truth be told actors are actors. I am sure that she is quite aware of what is buttering her bread at the moment. I think it was just an off the cuff statement that was said. I thinkof it this way. Too bad she didn’t present. It would have only been to her benefit. Afterall, she proably knows that there is no such thing as bad exposure when you are on stage at a major affair.
First, I didn’t realize there were so many Kristen haters around.
second, do you believe everything you read and hear? reporters “spin” stories to get this kind of heat.
KS’s father has been in the business for many many years and I doubt seriously if he would say such a thing in public. If he did, he was probably just reacting to a rude statement is what I am guessing.
I don’t think it is odd at all that RP and not KS was at the awards. They don’t have all the actors from one movie go out there together! they usually mix it up. don’t you watch? I thought it refreshing to see RP with that young girl in the red dress together. I thought they did a great job.
As for the assumptions that KS is “ungrateful” “disrespectful” etc.. I think that is assuming too much. She has a very impressive resume and I don’t think she (or father) would have agreed to do Twilight if they didn’t think it was worthy. I have always thought that she conveyed to everyone how passionate she was about the project. She may be “press” shy but that’s the way she is. She seems to want to be considered as a serious actress and not some Disney pretty girl of the moment.
This is what they call “career move” in Hollywood. It’s all calculated. your private life is just as scrutinized as your public work and I think that she is smart to stay low and not have the public attention that might cost her career later in life.
RP is older and can handle the limelight. He’s doing great but even he has obviously taken cues from Kristen. He is not allowing himself to be “caught” in scandals with pretty young girls etc.
The whole cast of Twilight are bright young actors who are all very talented.
Kristen and Robert especially are going to go far in their careers as serious actors.
I wish them all the best!
Time after time after time i have tried to give Kristen the benefit of the doubt. My bff hates her and thinks she rude and obnoxious and in no way the perfect Bella now after almost 1 year of hearing talk about how she hates publicity and the whole being famous thing. I now really have grown to dislike her. I mean the oscars are huge!! so what the movie in her opinion wasnt the best and I agree it wasnt the best but it was still great I loved and ejoyed it. NO ONE TURNS DOWN THE OSCARS ITS A HUGE FREAKIN HONOR!!!!! Her comments insulted me as a fan of the twilight series and I bet I’m not the only one. I hope the next movie up to the caliber of Princess Kristen liking or we will be in for a round of negative comments for the next two years until the movies are finished. I really like Kristen alot up until now well hopefully she’ll end up in my good graces again well she will I cant sTAY mad at anyone for a long time LOL
I’m writing a novel which I hope will one day be a screenplay/movie and I want Kristen Stewart to play the leading role! and, I don’t care if she doesn’t show up at the Oscars to accept her award when she wins for best actress for that role! ha!
and, sorry, but Emile Hirsch will be the lead man.
But, I expect him to be present and sitting next to me at the awards to accept his award! hehe
Panic Room is her problem. She started off with a great like Jodie Foster, probably even imagined herself to be a mini Jodie and now sahe is stuck with the truth. She is a substandard actress that needs to grow up, really study her craft,like Ms. Foster and realize that the fans keep you working. The fans help to ensure your next job, your career, and it does not pay to alienate the fans. It does however pay to also respect your costars and the writer that put your narrow butt on the map! It also shows some class and style. Get some Kristen/Bella!!!
ok. kristen is an actress and passionate about it. this is HER career. a career in a brutal world of opinions and gossip (ahem). she chose to be bella because she loved the books. what she DOESN’T love is how everyone is trying to “cash-in” by doing twilight related things (merchandise, interviews, the oscars…)! -and maybe she doesn’t love fans reactions because she’s not completely absorbed in this fantasy world, and would rather be taken a little more seriously. SO WHAT?
i can’t believe you guys are HATING her for her wanting to be respected for her own growth and ability as an actress. that’s what’s important to her. think about the actresses nominated! now think in kristen’s shoes–being frustrated and ‘used’–and realize that she would have felt ridiculous being up there in front of so many giants in the acting world for the SOLE reason that twilight is a franchise. so what if her dreams and goals are different than yours? it’s her life, not yours. she’s not perfect. she could be more gracious…OBVIOUSLY so could you!
she’s involved in twilight because she loves the story and loves acting. we are involved because we’re all in a little bit of an unhealthy place–eating, drinking, and breathing twilight! hahaha… oh really, it’s definitely more than a little unhealthy.
oh well. look. you guys just need to step out and get some perspective! she takes her roles very seriously and should stay bella–duh, they’re not going to change that. she stepped out of her comfort zone and promoted up the wazoo for them. all the cast loves her because they know her. you only know her through opinionated jounrnalists and public appearances. most people would be stiff/awkward/frustrated/not themselves when put on the spot as she so often is.
i’m only writing because it’s just not fair to judge her so harshly. i’d love to see the “kristen-haters” have a chance to show they could do it better. once the gossip is pointed at themselves and they start to crumble, i wonder if they would take back some of their words toward kristen stewart… likely, i’m sure.
p.s. thanks to the following comments (and some others not listed) for showing some maturity:
10 piper, 25 helen, 29 AK, 30 cheryl, 38 brittany, 47 stephanie, 49 mallory, and 52 carrie.
Thanks, Dad. Now we know where she gets it from.
I wanted to see Adventureland, too. I like Greg Mattola. But now, I don’t feel so good about helping support one of her pictures.
Repeat after me Ms. Stewart, “Thank you.”
I do not like Kristen Stewart. She is a terrible actress and has not proven me wrong on this in any movie that I have seen her in.
Maybe I would like her more if she didn’t seem so ungrateful for what Twilight has given her. In the future when she actually gets to pick and choose her roles, she will have Twilight to thank for that and not her ’stellar’ acting ability.
i think she needs to get over it so many other actress would kill to be so famous and she has a golden opportunity and passes it on… it just shows her immaturity
I’m truly disappointed. I have never thought that Kristen was all that great of an actress to start with. Her actions and behaviors from film to film appear to be the same. She’s got a long way to go. I felt that there were stand outs far beyond her in the cast of Twilight such as Rob, Ashley, Jackson and Kellan. Hopefully, Taylor will add to these already good actors to assist New Moon as she can’t do it alone. I found Kristen to be boring and a little too aloof during most interviews. Pay her a little money and put her name out there and now she thinks she’s all that because she does Indie. Give me a break. She’s biting the hand that feeds her. They could have done so much better on a different actress for Bella. Too late now. Her antics may be the downfall of the forth coming films. Hope not, but it is a possibility.
First and foremost I think it doesn’t really matter wether the father had to say in/for her (name) or did it on his own. The fact stays, this is bad publicity for her as an actrice. It does come across as snobbey and pretentious. The result of this can easy be that big studio’s don’t give her good (commercial) scripts because she’s too snobbey. So PR wise this was very stupid of her father to say - true or not.
Then on the other hand I most add, that I agree with a few here, she did a terrible job on Bella…I saw Twilight before I read the books and the funny thing was, before the scene in her room: “I know 3 things, 1. Edward is a vampire, 2. A part of him wants to eat me and 3. I’m in love with him”…(more or less)I thought she hated him!! She looked angry and confused and I wasn’t alone in this…the funny thing is she said in an interview she felt she couldn’t go wrong with Bella, well she did! Then her interviews…she comes across as arrogant. How many times she makes a point on how stupid other people are is ridicilous! Like this interview in Nylon mag(quote): “Anywhere we’d go for Twilight was a psychotic situation. The sound was deafening, and it’s thoughtless, as well… You get a slew of all these bullshit questions like”….she really comes across as someone who thinks she’s a genius. She sounds arrogant and her actions aren’t helping her. This is the dummest thing you can do for your career, showbussines is a hard bussines one day they like you the other day they don’t. I think she should cease the moment and grab it (gratefully) with both hands…there are many ready to take her place!
WHAT!.. so is her dad quoting her or is this what he thinks… but either way.. how could you say that about a movie you have made. this is such a bad move from kristen. i love kristen in all of the movies she has made. that statement just made me feel that she is not happy with the movie. as a fan i am hurt and have lost some interest in her. i wish she wouldnt have said that about the twilight film. she has gained so much fans from the twilight movie and she could at least be thankful… i mean twilight IS a good movie that is why it made so much money… duh! right?! also… having the opportunity to present at the oscars is such an honor… so hurt by this…
Why would she say something like that!?? That’s horrible, Rob was respectful and proud enough to present… I like her, but I agree with Missy, “Kristen, don’t bite the hand that feeds you!” My honest opinion, she needs to support the film that made her a success.
Like most of you, I have tried REALLY hard to like Kristen, but she is just making it to hard. She never really reached out to us fans, and she acts like even being seen with Rob would be horrible, but come on she read the scripts and the books, she had to have realized us fans would want to see them together, I love seeing them in the same place, I mean to us they are Edward and Bella. It is her life, but she can at least treat us with some respect. I have also seen some of her interviews lately, and she is so rude to us in them. Maybe they should find someone else who would be gratefull, and happy to play Bella, she acts like all this is such a hardship and a battle for her. She dosent seem to like the attention she gets from it, so give it to someone who will. I dont want her doing it if she doesnt want to be there. I have felt like this for a while now, not just since her dad has said this.
I was surprised when Amanda walked out with Robert, it should of been Kristen with him. I think it is an honor and a privilege to be asked to present at the Oscar. I hope it doesn’t come back and bite her in the future. Rob is smart, he knows when to take advantage of a good thing. This is excellent on his resume as an actor. I’m sure being an actor is tough enough, you have act on what is presented to you. It would of been such an amazing presentation with Rob & Kristen together presenting the romance video. It would of been an excellent presence for Twilight even though it wasn’t nominated or win an award. I guess his dad has alot of influence over her decision, being so young..eighteen going on nineteen. Also, her presence there could of given Rob support…he seemed a little uncomfortable.
Yeah I guess I was a bit offended.
I know her Father said it (by the way, WHAT WAS HE THINKING?!) but still for him to say that surely she would have said something.
I 100% agree with Missy who said a few posts up -
“Don’t bite the hand that feeds you.”
She might start to become really unpopular with fans becuase of the comments she/people around her keep making about Twilight.
I didn’t love the film but there was no need for him to say anything like that.
Oh, dear…I really want to like Kristen. I really do. I think that behind her rather off-putting, Ice Queen demeanor, she is a smart young woman with a gift for acting.
But if she really did say that, I hope she has enough common sense to realize that you shouldn’t bite the hand that feeds you, even if you don’t like where that hand is coming from.
I also find it off-putting and ungracious on Kristen’s part that she always seems to talk about what a “real”, genuine person she is and how she isn’t living behind a smiling, primping veneer like the rest of Hollywood (um, yeah…).
And yet she still comes off as being this artistically pretentious, bratty teenager who wants to cast herself as the poor, starving artist, just suffering through inane blockbuster films so she can make “real” art about pain, suffering, doom, gloom, etc., etc.
So I think maybe Miss Stewart would be better off dropping her “I’m-so-artistic-and-misunderstood-woe-is-me” act. It might play for a burgeoning teenage star. It won’t for much longer.
OMG, How, how could she say that?!
Kristen is one of THE MOST ANNOYING celebrities i have ever met (well heard speaking.)
Seriously if her and her dumb dad think that then hire someone else for Bella and stick Kristen where the sun don’t shine!
At least Rob had the decency to turn up and show twilight rocks.
Lyra N…I could not have said that better myself. You took all the words out of my mouth! I also really do want to like Kristen…I think I did to start out with…slowly though her interviews began to really irritate me. She has this facade and tries too hard to project herself in exactly what you said…”I’m-so-artistic-and-misunderstood-woe-is-me” act.
She took the role of Bella because she thought it would be an indie film…so I don’t understand her attitude…the movie made a lot of money which equals people KNOWING who you are which equals more opportunities to further your career. Yes, must be a hard life Kristin.
She is 18, I am going on 23 and would KILL to play the role of Bella. I understand she is very “mature” for her age even though she has not even graduated high school…but it would be nice if she acted her age and maybe showed a softer side…some graciousness perhaps.
Alright. Done. PHEW. Oh Kristin… Actually one more thing…I don’t know who said this but it was above…I too think that Kristin is too strong and not vulnerable enough to play Bella. Guess we’ll see… I feel like she has a lot to prove in New Moon, she carries that entire film. OK DONE.
Can we get a petition signed and sent to Summit to replace her? Who is in on it?
All who agree sign below!

Sounds to me like Kristen needs to take a step back and think about where her paychecks are coming from! It is one thing to be choosy about the films you do, it is quite another to be haughty about it. No one made her do Twilight, and to say what she did, only makes her look bad. Granted twilight is not Oscar worthy material, but it was entertaining, and that is not a bad thing. there are a lot of movies out there that can’t say that. Kristen needs to come down off of her pedestal and join the real world!
I’ve never understood why Kristen had a bad rep with a lot of fans…now I do.
If she didn’t want to present at the oscars until it was because of a great movie, maybe she shouldn’t accept an invitation (which was obviously because of Twilight) to the oscars until it was for a great movie.
You don’t have to necessarily be in a movie to present at the Oscars. I think it would have been an honor to present at the Oscars and she should have taken advantage of that. Next time they are looking for people to present I don’t think they will even have her on the list.
I say lets take action.
Look at my Petition and sign if you agree. Nothing mean or harassing in it. Just my thoughts. I want to get it to 100K signatures. If at the very least, this will get Summit to talk to her.

Thanks Everyone
Nico
Well, according to her imdb page she made 2,000,000 for Twilight so the movie itself made her a lot of money for not al that much work…Oh and Nicole you can put me down as
2. Courtney Wilson
on your petition I never felt the right Bella vib from her in the movie anyway!
Sign the Petition!
Well this once again proves why they need a new Bella. If Kristen isn’t even going to stand for a movie she was in why should she have the role in the first place? She’s not that great an actress and she should be happy she got the role of Bella. This article just proves my theory that Kristen didn’t want the part because she cared, she wanted it because of the fame. It looks like it all went to her head. Her other movies were terrible. At least in twilight she got a real role. We adore these books, and whether the movie was good or bad we adore it too. She needs to be replaced as Bella. And I feel absolutely sorry for Rob. We all know he is really crushing on her, and she basically stood him up. She doesn’t deserve a guy like him.
I definitely respect her “artistic integrity”. That is very important. But I’m a little sad (if it is true, anyway) if she thinks Twilight wasn’t a great film.
This has been bugging me all day. I really like KS and all her work to date, have been encouraging others to see “Adventureland” and the like because she’s usually great. I agree with some that she does not portray the sweet and vulnerable side of Bella, as I wish she did. Apparentlly she and the film’s director have a different vision, which I can seperate from my own and enjoy almost equally. However, all this aside, her constant awkward acceptance of the part and all it entails is embarassing if she wants to prove herself a professional. She took the job and all it entails, end of story. She has an obligation to her coworkers to endorse their product. Certainly she is not the first actor to be in this kind of media situaiton and she won’t be the last. Frankly RP is certainly no less awkward when it comes to the attention but he fullfills the responsiblities to his best abilities. The constant comments of skepticism and disdain are disrespectful and classless. And certainly this is not the audience to alienate.
If you want an opinion here’s mine I don’t think it had anything to do with what her father said I think it has to do with the rumors about her and Rob and how hard the medias coming down on them about it and for as much as they denied it the media still goes on and on about it and if she would have presented at the Oscars for a romance category what fun the media would have had plus I think her little 4 yr boyfriend is jealous of all the attention KS and RP get when their together just look at pics of KS and her man their so distant and KS and RP pics are so close I think that’s why she didn’t do it her man didn’t want her to (LOL). But I could be totally wrong.
Wait what was that, something just blew past me…oh I know it was my respect for kristen…and it went right out the window. What a snob.
Well, that comment is going to cause some serious reaction toward Kristen. I liked,delete that, LOVED the movie and even if it wasn’t Oscar worthy (cause it wasn’t. Of course you got to consider they didn’t ave alot of budget) that doesn’t mean she should be ashamed of the movie. If she didn’t like the film, then WHY IN THE WORLD DID SHE WORKED ON IT???? This is the first time I feel against Kristen and I really hope that she didn’t really said that. I hope her father is more carefull from now on about the comments he made.
I have no idea how she truly feels about Twilight as a film or her acting performance. Let’s face it, the hype around Twilight is more because of the book fans and the movie overall, not because of the individual actors’ performances. I, personally, thought she did a good job as did everyone else in the film. Could it have better? Yes. Were the performances or the movie as a whole Oscar worthy? No.
I can see where she would feel like being asked to present wasn’t a recognition of her work as an actress but simply because she was in popular film. However, one could look at it as a recognition that people in the industry see you as a rising star and that the invitation was based on more than just her participation in a popular movie. But, look at the other young stars that were asked to participate — they were all in the most popular movies of the year, not the most critically acclaimed. So, it does seem like the sole reason for including them was to boost ratings. They were in movies popular with teenagers so they’ll get teenagers to watch the Oscars. It kind of appeared to me like that was the producers intent.
While I think it wasn’t a good idea to voice her opinion (if it was in fact her opinion), it’s her right to have whatever opinion she has. I think it would have been smarter to keep the real reason for declining quiet given the fact that she has to star in two possibly three more movies in the saga. But some people don’t care what others think, and KS strikes me as one of those people so her dad is probably the same way.
You don’t have to like everything an actor says or does to like their performances. I am not going to let this color my enjoyment of her work.
Wow… Did any of you ever stop to think that YOUR thoughtless, rude AND judgmental statements are extremely hypocritical…what makes you ANY better than her. Especially since you are listening to RUMORS!!! We don’t know what Kristen did or didn’t say, but we do know what you all have said. I happen to agree with Kristen that some of you take these things way too seriously(some really ARE psychotic). And talk about arrogant… “certainly this is not the audience to alienate”…guys come off soundIs it any wonder why Kristen doesn’t want to be out there? Everyone is so nasty - all of you should be ashamed of yourselves. Leave her alone so she CAN work in peace
she is such a snob.
maybe if she didnt fin twitch so much and didnt bob her head every second it would have been better
she isnt that great of an actress o be so picky about it
ughh she really gets on my nervous with her manly voice. It wouldnt be such a big deal but her being a snob and thinks shes too good, just disgust me. she gaev eveyrone attitude (the fans) I get some fans are weird and do get annoying but no reason at all to be a bitch. Brad pitt has more attention then her and he odesnt give shitty attitude as she does. her dad is the only reasons why she gets roles.. her paretns direct.. she had it easy even ashley greene admitted that in a intreveiw well she sugar coated it but means the same thing
(Sorry to anyone that likes her its just what i think dont get mad and yell at me i have a right to think what i want.. i ain your clone)
THAT’s IT! If any of you actually believes she cares about Twilight or any of us, you are seriously deluded. I dont think she can make it any more clear that she believes she is above Twilight There is NO excuse for her behavior anymore. She knows exactly what she’s saying and what’s she’s doing. I am sure she would LOVE to be let out of her contract.
I used to really like Kristen, but now she’s just too rude! I agree that the movie wasn’t great, but I think that part of the reason was because she wasn’t that great for bella!
PUH-LEEZE!!! If any of you actually believe that Kristen Stewart cares about any of her fans or Twilight, you are seriously deluded. Stop defending someone who has done EVERYTHING she possibly could to alienate the Twilight fandom. She knows actually what’s she’s saying, her father knows what he’s saying, and they have both made it plainly clear that KStew is sooo “above” Twilight. C’mon now, she’s a “serious actress.” I bet you that if Summit gave her the chance to be let out of her contract, she would take it in a second.
wow , she should be really grateful cuz million girls would die just for that role.
btw , she’s not that good playing Bella anyway . i think people wouldn’t even bother to invite her .
Kristen’s dad has a well-known mouth on him. I wouldn’t be surprised if she said nothing of the sort…
Maybe dad has some sour grapes…
she may be a bitch but hey who are you to make that judgement? you people dont evenb know her. But i do agree she is all wrong for the part of bella. and i do feel sorry for her though with the whole boyfriend thing. People especially the media cant seem to accept that rpattz and her do not have to date eachother. he deserves better! he is so modest and humble.
Above all, i want to be objective with this. Maybe we all have misjudged/misunderstood with her father’s answer. It’s better if we wait for her answer first. From all interviews i’ve seen, she always be honest, humble, shy, even sometimes the words come out so awkward, rude, sarcastics from her mouth, but they are all the truth.
I believe that she has her own reason about why she didn’t present at the Oscar, maybe she is sick or maybe she doesn’t feel comfortable in wearing long-dress gawn like other actresses wear at Oscars (well, i haven’t seen her in a long-dress gawn, she always wear short skirt tube or jeans) or maybe she even didn’t invited… who knows… but she will answer honestly i think…
Like her answer to Nylon mag about what people wandering why she was clumsy at David Letterman appearance: “I feel like I have nothing to say on those shows… I’m not good at the funny thing—most people are really great on those shows. I don’t have a contrived personality that [I can] just pump out [for] a five-minute segment, so I end up sitting there and looking kind of baffled. Embarassing.”
So honest of her & i think that answers make it clear why she was like that in Letterman.
And in so many interviews, i saw that she loves to be in Twilight, i haven’t seen she hates it, but maybe yes she sometimes get annoyed by the the Twilight Madness, like she said to Nylon mag: “Anywhere we’d go for Twilight was a psychotic situation. The sound was deafening, and it’s thoughtless, as well… You get a slew of all these bs questions like, â€What’s it like to kiss a vampire?’ and â€How much do you love Robert?’ Then you’ll get one that’s actually real, but you’re like, â€No, I can’t right now, I can’t even consider [it].”
I think many people will get annoyed too if they are in Kristen’s position.
For me… just wait and see… i hope her answer will make it all clear (i read online that she will attend the Twilight Premiere in Japan this Feb, maybe there will be an interview asking about it there) and i do hope that it will not a bite-the-hand-that-feeds-you answer…
I think it really sucks that she said that. It’s another thing adding on to me not really being a fan of hers (the first thing being her smoking marijuana).
Again, Ive always thought she was a HORRIBLE choice for this movie. Her acting sucked and I did not believe her character. I think she may be a little jealous because Rob’s been getting alot of the hype. I feel if she doesn’t like the film that’s that’s made her famous, then step down and let a BETTER actress who would appreciate the role have at it. Do us all a favor Kristen step down and let the twilight fans see a REAL actress play the part.
If she didn’t think it was a “good” movie, why did she agree to take part?
I love indie movies, I really truly do. I watch them more than I watch bigger, more commercial movies, but I loved the Twilight movie. At the end of the day, Kirsten is biting the hand that feeds her (there’s a pun in there somewhere, I’m sure, but it’s late). That comment is offensive to all the people who have launched her career by supporting the Twilight movie. And even when she was in “good” movies, such as Sean Penn’s “Into The Wild”, she wasn’t getting a crazy amount of recognition.
I think she’s being foolish and petulant. She should have known that Twilight was not just any movie, that it has a massive cult following, and if she didn’t want that, then she shouldn’t have signed up. If she thinks it’s such a crap film, why is she accepting $12 million to do “New Moon”? I guess she doesn’t mind all that money Twilight made, just as long as she’s gettign a slice of it?
Well, her father is probably the one who told her not to appear, who knows, but I would watch what I would say…Kristen is at the peak of her career, he can just ruin it in no time…..someone tell him “THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK!” Robert was amazing as always…love him!
and Kristen is having a movie coming out soon, after all that blah that was said, does she think fans will see it now…..how sad…
I think she is a young actress that may be a little overwhelmed by all the screaming when she is promoting the movie. She is not the only one who has complained about it. And it is rather silly and honestly demeans their promoting the movie. She didn’t make the comment about the Oscars, it was her father. She has often said how proud she is of the movie..and as far as Robert is concerned, she was quoted as saying he was her perfect Edward. Not boyfriend. But Edward. A fictional character. I think it is great the cast get along so well and it’s no one’s business who she is with or not with. Cut her some slack. She is only 18.
I believe it’s her FATHER who is reported to have said that, not her.
I agree that she seems akward at promotion events, but she seemed truthfull as well, I think she liked the project, and was not expecting this hype.
While I would agree that the movie was not academy award’s winner material, that was not why Rob was invited, it was in a way a recognition for movies who were loved by a wide audience (like HSM), and to boost a bit the audience rate. As long as everybody is clear on that (and I believe it’s the case), I don’t see why this man fellt compelled to make such a statement on his daughter’s behalf. Is he bitter about something? (like that his daughter is now known worldwide for a non-indie movie and I don’t have a clue as to who he is…)
We don’t even know if she was really invited, I read somewhere that the seats were hard to get because the theater is only so big, and there are many many people to invite (more than the number of seats).
I will not jump to conclusions too fast and wait for some kind of explanation from Kristen.
what was he doing there? any “great” movies going on for him?
Why would an actress want to take part in a film she couldnt be proud of??? I guess I dont totally understand the comment given by her father … ? And honestly … if youre in that industry, the interviews, press and award ceremonies are all apart of the package deal. I realize she grew up in the business, but if she isnt happy with it then maybe she should consider getting out. While Twilight may not have been Oscar worthy, it was a GREAT and much appreciated film because the fans fell in love with the books. Kristin herself, even stated she enjoyed the book … so i really dont understand. She could have presented at the Oscars because she was simply proud of what she did with Bella’s character and getting the opportunity to work with great people on a huge franchise. I think that could have been reason enough. I like her …. but that comment was a little off.
Ouch! Now I see where Kristen gets her ‘tude from. Her dad’s acerbic response begs several questions, I think. Most importantly, was that his personal opinion as to why she didn’t present or was that what Kristen actually told her dad? Why did her dad choose to walk the red carpet while Kristen snuck in the back door? He’s been in the business for a long time and I’d bet he knows darn well what to say during an interview and what not to say, e.g. you don’t dis the film you were just in to the public. Did he purposefully walk the carpet to make this comment knowing that he would get an interview? Smells fishy. Not only is the comment a dis to the film, its producers, director, cast, fans, etc., but it’s also a dis to Robert and his choice to present. That’s why I wonder if this was her dad’s opinion and not Kristen’s. So what Twilight wasn’t an Oscar-worthy movie. It’s all about the money in Hollywood. I can sympathize with Kristen not wanting a lot of publicity, and I’d bet that’s why she likes to do indie films. If you don’t want to present at the Oscars, no biggie, but don’t crap in the hand that feeds ya. All dad needed to say was that she’d prefer to watch from the audience. There’s no need to be rude to everyone involved.
They (Summit) will have to do some quick back-peddling for Kristen. Look, after all of this time, the “whole” cast is going to be on “E”, to answer fan questions. Wow, I don’t think they did that even after the movie launch in the US. Kristen bailed out on the US touring. It was even mentioned in an interview by another co-star. She gets too stressed out during these things.
I do not care if she didn’t want to present. That’s her business, but negative comments should not be made about the film.
Sure, it’s far from a literary masterpiece, but this series inspired kids to really take an interest in reading again. It caught on like wildfire. I only read it because I wanted to see what held my daughters interest to the point she ran in the door from school to run to her room to read. I tried everything to get her to respond like that to books. She would laugh and talk about it with her friends. It made me happy that it wasn’t another cheesey, bubble-gum, superficial, teen TV show. That is a feat in itself in todays culture of video games and computer addiction.
Sure, they crush on Edward and Jacob, they’re teenage girls. They get giddy and squeal over ordinary boy crushes with their g-friends, what is really any different. Yes, it’s extremely annoying, but the more it’s blown out of proportion, the more it’s going to be done. Back to Kristen….she said herself she didn’t want to do this film at first because she had no more room in her head for it. (that was apparent), in her interviews, she was more excited about an upcoming movie, then the actual movie she was promoting. She has done nothing but put the fans of the books and movie, down, since the release of the movie, which is truly distasteful, and bad manored. I care about the role model she is presenting. My daughter really liked her and defended her, over and again, but personally, there is nothing there for me to like or admire, or would want my daughter to emulate. OK, she knows big words, so, she knows a lot of other famous actors, her parents are successful in Hollywood, WHO CARES?! For as successful as they are, they should have gotten her some lesson in mannors and humility. I can appreciate blunt honesty, really, but she really is just trying to be a snide little heiffer to the fans of Twilight. None of the other cast act as she does, or as Rob does. I am really tired of seeing them BOTH all over the papers and internet. Show the others in the film. They have just as much talent, if not more, and don’t act as though their lives are devistated over this film. Perhaps Kristen and Rob are so mad is because they are stipulated to stay SOBER, especially when going out in public. They complained and critiqued Twi-moms, and now they are doing the same to the tweens. THey must seriously not want fans of these films. THat is all I can take away from the behavior. I gave the BOTD, but come on, excuse after excuse only gets you so far before you call it for what it is.
I wish the other cast members of film the best of luck and success in their future endeavors. Hopefully, the film industry will get to know you all as well, and keep you in mind for future upcoming MOVIE rolls, because many of you with very small parts, did great and were memorable. The ones with the big parts became very arrogent. They need to be humbled a little and appreciate the “ordinary” people who spend their own hard earned money to see their “work”.
To everyone defending her over this, saying that she’s just being genuine and sticking to her principles, etc., ask yourselves this:
If she’d been nominated for an Oscar for her portrayal of Bella, would she still have refused to appear at the Awards on behalf of Twilight, declining the nomination?
Hale no. She’d have been there, if you’ll pardon the pun, with bells on, singing the praises of this oh, so commercial film, and her father would have been there with her, smilingly adoringly as her name was read off with the other nominees.
She struts her “principles” when it suits her. In this case, she knew she could get away with sticking her nose in the air, so she did it.
I think her father was just being a jerk.I think Kristen is a really good actress but I mean none of the movies that she had been in before Twilight were that great. If I had to choose between Twilight, or Into the Wild,and Speak I would choose Twilight, but that is just me.And if her father is such a critic then maybe he should start acting and see how hard it is then maybe he could say something. But all he did there was affend people and not just Kristen but all the people who put their time and money into the movie.And yes the movie made a lot of money but look how many Twilight fans there are!! It might not have been oscar worthy but it has my seal of approval!
Didn’t you all read her answer The Oscars did not ask/invite her to present. Besides didn’t you all think if not for her Rob Pattinson would have not gotten the role as Edward. Kristen Stewart was the one who insisted he be casted as Edward. Look Catherine Hardwicke’s article and comments.
OUCH!!! I really like Kristen but…turning down the oscars because of that stupid reason? I don’t even think thats a reason!!
Its the Oscars for god’s sake!! (I know I’m commenting on this kinda late, but I actually just read this lol).
Has anyone noticed that rob and kris both sratch and touch there hair alot! It’s like did they give each other lice or what?! I think it’s gross and they both look anti-bathing to me (eeewww!)
