ACCESS HOLLYWOOD: WHY KRISTEN STEWART DECLINED PRESENTING AT THE OSCARS

Posted February 23rd, 2009 By: Team Switzerland 154 Comments »

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?

    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).

  • Kris and Rob both suck

    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!)

    Late reply to this, but whatever.

    Honestly, I don't care about what Kristen said or did not say; if those were her father's words, or her own. I, personally, agree with her decision. Though it might've been put a little rudely, let's face it; Twilight definitely wasn't a movie she could be proud of to present for. Her portrayal of Bella was abysmal, and almost all of the main character's were as well (the minor characters did great! including Taylor Lautner, before Jacob became a main character.) The point of the entire series is shallow, if you compare it to other movies she's been in; Speak, the story of a girl who was raped. Twilight, the story of how important it is to have a boyfriend.

    I agree that she should wait her turn to present when a better opportunity is given; maybe for Welcome to the Rileys? I have no doubt in my mind that she'll fabulous in that movie, and if she were to present after performing in that movie, then I would hold nothing against her. Because it wouldn't be the movie that got popular simply because it had typical, cliche'd romance, an already large crowd (consisting of, unsurprisingly, tweens, teens and adult females), sparkly vampires, attractive characters and almost no plot worth of praise. It would be the movie that shined with raw honesty, which Kristen is a professional in showing.

    Either way, Kristen made the right choice in my mind.
