KRISTEN STEWART & BREAKING DAWN 2 RACK UP BIG WINS AT THE 2013 TEEN CHOICE AWARDS

Summit

UPDATE:  Kristen Stewart has swept all of her nominations by winning Choice Movie Liplock along with her co-star Robert Pattinson for Breaking Dawn 2.

***************

The Teen Choice Awards did the right thing by honoring one of the biggest and profitable film franchises in history with nominations that MTV did not deem it deserved. 

Kristen Stewart and her film The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 led the movie category with several wins which included Choice Movie Actress, Sci-Fi/Fantasy and Choice Movie Actress, Romance.

MTV chose to ignore one of the most prolific group of fans around when they refused to nominate the final Twilight film for any MTV Movie Awards except for one dealing with being shirtless. 

Twilight fans took issue with the slight and hit MTV back hard across the bow with a protest that received worldwide attention. 

In other news, Chris Hemsworth lost out to Robert Downey Jr.'s Iron Man for Choice Movie Actor, Action. 

So here are the results of Stewart's wins and read the entire list of winners here.

STEWART'S SNOW WHITE & 'BREAKING DAWN 2' SWEEPS THE EMPIRE CINEMAS ALTERNATIVE MOVIE AWARDS

Source

The UK's Empire Cinemas hosted their first Alternative Movie Awards to give fans a voice in this awards' season as a complement to the Oscars, Golden Globes and others.

Regardless of its critics, Kristen Stewart's final installment of the Twilight franchise - Breaking Dawn Part 2 - continues to show that it has strong popularity worldwide by sweeping the awards.  

Empire Cinemas asked their theater patrons to vote for the films by using unconventional categories.  Breaking Dawn 2 won in categories such as Best Fight Scene, were it beat out strong competition (Skyfall and The Dark Knight Rises). 

Jon Nutton, Marketing Director for Empire Cinemas, said:

“The awards season is such a talking point in the film and cinema industry. We’ve created The Empire Cinemas Alternative Movie Awards to help celebrate film even more, but to also give film fans a voice and pick the winners of awards not generally seen at the big ceremonies. 

Twilight was a huge success for Empire Cinemas and it’s clear to see our cinemagoers agree, voting it the winner of five awards. 

Neither SWATH nor Chris 'The Huntsman' Hemsworth's body could not hold off Twilight's powerful force.  However, Universal's Les Miserables did win for Best Tear-Jerker.

Stewart and Breaking Dawn 2 will most likely continue to pick up more fan-voting awards (MTV Movie Awards, Spike Scream Awards) as it closes out its final run.  

The DVD is set to be released this weekend in a last hurrah with nationwide fan events for its midnight release.

STEWART TOPS FORBES 

'MOST BANKABLE STARS' LIST FOR THE SECOND YEAR IN A ROW

Google Images

Kristen Stewart has topped Forbes 'Hollywood's Best Actors for the Buck' list again for the second year in the row coming in at #2. Stewart was narrowly beat out by Natalie Portman who took over the #1 spot due to her film Black Swan.  Stewart held the #1 position last year.  

Both SWATH and Breaking Dawn Part 2 help to place Stewart at the top of the list.  Forbes writes:


"Ranking second on our list is Kristen Stewart. For every dollar she gets paid Stewart returns an average $40.60. Stewart is in the unusual situation of ranking high on this list and topping our Highest-Earning Actress list. Usually, if an actor is earning more than anyone else in Hollywood, it’s hard for him or her to be considered a bankable investment. That high salary means the films have to do spectacularly to offer profitable returns to the studios. 

Stewart was able to earn a ton over the last three years and offer a healthy return thanks to the Twilight franchise. Even though she was paid $25 million to star in the last two films, she was clearly worth the money. The Twilight films have grossed $3.3 billion at the global box office and the final film, Breaking Dawn Part 2, is still in theaters."

Her two co-stars, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner, also make our list. Pattinson ranks 4th with a $31.70 return for every dollar he is paid. Lautner ranks 6th with a $29.50 return. All three of the actors were paid the same for the final Twilight movies. 

The differences in their return numbers comes from their other projects. This year Stewart had Snow White and the Huntsman which turned a nice profit, grossing $400 million on an estimated budget of $170 million."

SWATH'S 'SNOW WHITE' IS ONE OF "MTV'S TOP MOVIE CHARACTERS" OF 2012 & MORE

Universal

SWATH makes another year-ending list and this time it's 'MTV's Top 50 Movie Characters of 2012'. 

Kristen Stewart's Snow White makes it into their list at #31 as the unconventional Snow White.  MTV states:

31. Snow White ("Snow White and the Huntsman") 

Forget everything those Brothers Grimm told you about the girl who bit into the poison apple — because this Snow White (played Kristen Stewart) is no damsel in distress. Both fair and fierce, she carries a sword and isn't afraid to use it when it comes to reclaiming her inheritance from the clutches of evil Queen Ravenna (played Charlize Theron). And with the oratory faculties to deliver a "Braveheart"-worthy monologue, she's a well-rounded royal ready to rule. — Amy Wilkinson

MTV also placed Stewart's Twilight franchise as their #1 out of 20 for 'Top Newsmaker of the Year' and Chris Hemsworth's Avengers at #17.  Read more here and here.

STEWART'S BREAKING DAWN 2 MAKES EXTRA'S #1 'MOST ENTERTAINING' OF 2012

Summit

As the year-ending lists come out, there appears to be a pretty good amount that feature SWATH and its cast.  The Oscar ones are the ones we are really keeping our eyes on.  But here is one by Extra TV.

Extra announced its list of The Most Entertaining of 2012. Kristen Stewart's Breaking Dawn Part 2 made the list at #1  being a member of the cast of Twilight. 

In 2011, the Twilight cast came in at #5 but with the successful ending to the franchise with the release of the final film, it has taken off to be the best of film of the franchise. 

Extra writes:

"Stephenie Meyer's bestselling novels -- about a girl named Bella Swan who falls in love with vampire Edward Cullen, while also forging a close friendship with werewolf Jacob Black -- made the tween set (and their mothers) swoon, launching a literary phenomenon in 2005 on a par with "Harry Potter."

Then came the films. When the first "Twilight" movie was released in 2008, young stars Kristen Stewart ("Bella") and Robert Pattinson ("Edward") were catapulted into teen idol-dom, with hunky Taylor Lautner ("Jacob") following their path in "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" in 2009. 

 The third film, "Eclipse," opened to huge numbers in 2010, grossing over $300 million domestically, while the fourth book, "Breaking Dawn," was split into two movies. "Part 1" -- which sees Bella and Edward finally get married and consummate their passion, resulting in an unexpected pregnancy -- opened November 18 to even bigger grosses. 

 With $751.1 million in the bank, the final installment, “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 2,” already ranks as the most lucrative chapter in the vampire saga. What a nice way to say goodbye!

The rest of the list came in as follows:

#2 Channing Tatum
#3 'Fifty Shades of Grey'
#4 The Cast of 'Hunger Games'
#5 Honey Boo Boo

Hypable's Transcript of Kristen's Interview

Q: Bella's a tiger let out of a cage in this one. What was that like as an actres, especially doing it at the same time as BD 1 - so in one shoot you were caged, the next you weren't. 

Kristen: I was really lucky to have played human Bella for so long. The best aspects of every vampire, it's an enhanced version of when they were human. I got to take those steps for real, turning into a vamp. If you were to take the fact that she becomes a vampire completely away, this is just a more realized version of who she's been the whole time. It's why it touches so many people.

Kristen: It was also like breaking her in like a car, asking 'how fast? how fast can she go?' 

Q: What did you keep from the set? 

Kristen: I kept the rings. The rings ar ereally important to me. There was the moon ring, which is from the first film and reminds me of Catherine Hardwicke. And the wedding ring I have too. Other than that, Bella's not really into stuff. The rings are extremely important to me.

Q: For you, what was the moment when you raelized how big this thing was going to be? 

Kristen: it's grown so much, even recently. I don't know if we've ever - I've never realized the extent its gotten to. Comic Con for me was the first hit of human energy, and I knew this wasn't a normal movie. We've always approached Twilight - it felt like something very much our own. That first dose of sharing it with the fans was mind blowing. 

Kristen: The coolest thing about the job actually - when you like something together, you're going to like it more. I was excited that we were going places and incredibly overwhelmed. 

Q: Thanks for bringing such a realism to Bella Swan. Now that Bella's a vampire, you got to do kick ass stunt work. Talk about that. 

Kristen: I broke my thumb like the second day, it was a lot of fun though. I got a little taste of the stunt work when we were in Italy, physicality was so important then - then it became important again. What can I say.. I've been on the sidelines for so long, just itching to get involved as a vamp. So I was bursting to do it. And that's probably why I broke my thumb, I was overzealous. 


Q: I found it so cool, as a 14 year old, that 18 year old Bella is so young to be turned into a vamp. If you could pause your life at one age, what would it be? 

Kristen: I don't know - I haven't gotten to that point yet. I'm not sure, someone asked me recently and I couldn't answer it then either. 

K: I just haven't gotten to that point of wanting to pause life yet. 

Q: Along those same lines, I was wondering... Bella's journey, how did it parallel with your own journey? 

K: Without taking any of the truth out of this.. it's all sort of general. Like I was just saying, it's about that period: "Do I go with this, or is that crazy?" I think as an adult, the answer is "absolutely." You question yourself along the way, and you should never stop doing that. You should always question, push harder. I think it gets a little easier - I definitely feel a bit more realized - a lot more actually. It was just by chance we happen to be the same age. It's a tough one because she lives so many years. 


Q: How have these movies affected your film career going forward with new film choices? 

 K: I've always - a question that I can't answer, "What can you do next?" Doesn't make any sense because it's such an outsiders perspective.Things have fallen in my lamp, I've gotten incredibly - insanely lucky. If I could keep doing that I'll be a happy girl.It's always a pretty impulsive thing. You can read a fantastic script and it may not be in you to do. Without spoiling it: Kristen's talking about how the ending is romantic, and Bill really had his finger on it. 

Q: What was it like playing a mother? Did it change how you look at your own mom? 

K: I think that it might be something you're born with. Some people have really really strong, natural instincts to be a mom. That was one of my favorite parts of the story from day one. There was never much about that in the story. So having Stephenie Meyer there was helpful. 

 K: It didn't change much about me or view of my mother. But what better way to share vampire's animalistic nature than that. But I don't think.. I've always really felt I have a great relationship with my mom. That's just what it is. If I had an answer I would totally give it. 

K: I can't wait to be a mom... but I can wait (Laughter) 

Q: What bonds have the three of you formed that 10, 20 years from now only you will understand? 

K: Its nice to not be alone, we're in this together. We share the movies. Another really common question is, "What's it like to walk away from this?" Generally I don't have to walk away from anything. We hold this as we move on. I think Rob and Taylor feel the same way 

Q: Are you glad it's over? Finally? 

K: I'm so happy that the story is told, you have no idea. Usually you have five weeks, five months to look at a schedule. We had five years. So the fact that this thing is out and it's not weighing on us anymore - SUPER excited about that. Not that I'm glad it's over, I'm glad the story is now complete. 

K: It is sad, it is strange. But it's normal - things shouldn't stay. They've gotta move on. 

Q: Would you be open to doing another film series? 

K: Yeah. It depends, it's hard to sign on to something before you know. Q: Say they wanted you to sign on for something that's five films. Would you say yes? 

K: My guess is probably not, only because it's rare to find something that is this great. 

K: Never say never. 

Q: What would you like to give your character for the holiday? 

Kristen spent a lot of time thinking about the answer, asked the fansite ops who suggested a gift for Renesmee. 

Q: Would you like to live forever? 

K: No. 

Q: Has there ever been a question you wish the press asked you? 

K: No.. thankfully.
