"'Twilight's' Kristen Stewart up for major award."

By Bry Schulz

BBC News (that's a British news channel!) is reporting that “Twilight” star Kristen Stewart has been nominated for the BAFTA Rising Star award. Those not familiar with the UK's BAFTA Awards will be interested to know that this is the equivalent to the Academy Awards here in America.



The BAFTAs generally come out with their nominations a few weeks before the Oscars and many look to those nominations to see what might be hot at this year’s Oscars. Though some tastes obviously differ between our two countries, as I'm sure Kristen will find herself snubbed or more accurately, just not nominated by the Oscars this year. Pop culture doesn't find itself prevalent in the Oscars much, hence their lack-luster ratings from recent years.



Back to the point: I am excited for Kristen. As a self admitted Twi-Hard I'll be pulling for Bella Swan (aka K.Stew). I hope she goes and gets all glammed up. It'd be even better if she had a British hottie on her arm (in the form of her rumored, but obvious, real life love Robert Pattinson). I've heard that the Academy Awards this year might premier footage from the next “Twilight” movie “Eclipse.” And to do so Rob, Kristen and Taylor may be on hand to show it on Oscar night, (reaching for those ratings aren't we Mr. Oscar?). Again, I can't wait to see Kristen (with Rob near by) dressed up and having fun. That girl looks too depressed sometimes. But I can't hate on her too much. I'm too deeply addicted to all things “Twilight” to permit myself!
