HE salutes Kristen Stewart for having recently bought the century-old Highland theatre (5604 No. Figueroa in Highland Park). The post-pandemic slump closed the place down in early 2024, but soon it’ll be a going concern…great! Stewart’s plan, naturally, is to spruce the place up (it’s actually a triplex) and start showing movies there again. Decades-old … Read more

At the start of an SNL hosting gig seven years ago (2.4.17), Kristen Stewart announced “I’m so gay, dude.” (Today’s preferred nomenclature of “queer” hadn’t yet taken command.) She didn’t say “I lean gay” or “I prefer gay” — she said “this is my effing home team, bruh.” And yet THR’s Etan Vlessing, in a … Read more

The feedback is so bad that Kristen Stewart and IndieWire interviewer Anne Thompson have to avoid speaking directly into their microphones. Stewart consequently sounds so faint and echo-y that I can’t really hear her…okay, I can hear the occasional phrase or expression. She doesn’t always speak in short, hurried, half-muttered phrases, but she often does. … Read more

Awards Daily‘s Sasha Stone is actually predicting (or half-predicting by way of an intuitive feeling) that Spencer‘s Kristen Stewart might be…well, a slightly more likely winner of the Best Actress Oscar race than some of us are supposing. Or so she suspects. Nobody knows anything, of course. HE reaction: Olivia Colman won’t happen because (a) … Read more

Is it fair or accurate to call the 2022 Oscars the gayest so far? Or is it just another gay year in a no-big-deal way? Obviously the gayest element in the 2022 Oscar constellation is Jane Campion‘s The Power of the Dog — at once a beautifully composed if slow-moving period drama and a morose … Read more

Everyone thought Kristen Stewart‘s shot at a Best Actress nomination was toast. Spencer is roundly despised so how did she pull it off? Variety‘s Owen Gleiberman called it, I suspect, when he posted a 1.15.22 column titled “Why SAG’s Best Actress Snub May Have Done Kristen Stewart a Favor.” The idea was that KStew‘s post-SAG-snub … Read more

Now that Kristen Stewart‘s Best Actress campaign is all but toast after being excluded from the 2022 SAG Award nominations, and since no one explored the whys and wherefores in this morning’s initial reaction thread (“That’s It For KStew“), I’m asking again: why was her Lady Diana snubbed? HE theory #1: It wasn’t the quality … Read more

21 Gold Derby forecasters have stated preferences in the race for Best Actress Oscar. The overwhelming favorite is Kristen Stewart‘s performance as Diana, Princess of Wales in Spencer, and so she’s sitting atop 13 lists. Except the most deserving recipient for the ’21 and ’22 Best Actress Oscar is Penelope Cruz in Pedro’s Parallel Mothers … Read more

Since early summer the word on Amazon’s Seberg (formerly Against All Enemies) has been that Kristen Stewart‘s performance as the tragic Jean Seberg is quite the standout and actually better than the film itself. Stewart’s performance is “extremely understated and internal,” I was told last May. “She never goes too big and plays her cards … Read more

What’s up with critics relentlessly handing out Best Supporting Actress awards to Kristen Stewart for her performance in Clouds of Sils Maria? NYFCC, Boston Online Film Critics and today’s Boston Film Critics awards…she was very good in that 2014 Olivier Assayas film (shot in ’13, premiered in Cannes 19 months ago) but calm down. (Update: … Read more

TheWrap‘s Dan Callahan is claiming that Kristen Stewart‘s portrayal as an angry, frustrated student in Tim Blake Nelson‘s Anesthesia, which screened last night at the Tribeca Film festival, is easily the strongest element. Stewart “has a nearly film-stopping monologue in a counselor’s office where she unloads all of her character’s rage and resentment about life. … Read more
