As you already know, Kristen Stewart received a nomination for the Orange British Academy Film "Rising Star" Award, and, for the winner to be determined, fans of the nominees submit their votes for their respective choices.

Of course, Kristen Stewart's fans - at least those who are in a suitable geographic location to vote - have been voting away, hoping to help the actress win the award.

As a result, a recent Variety article predicts that Kristen Stewart is bound to win the award. The publication bases its prediction on her involvement with the Twilight saga.

Variety suggests that a trend has developed over the past few years where the winner is always a leading cast member in a popular film from that year.

In the past, James McAvoy won after "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe," Eva Green after "Casino Royale" and Shia LaBeouf after "Transformers." Last year, Noel Clarke's fanbase from "Adulthood" and TV's "Doctor Who" trumped the higher Hollywood profile of Michael Cera.

While Stewart's recent film catalogue is not exclusively Twilight (what with The Runaways, Welcome To The Rileys, The Yellow Handkerchief, and even Adventureland), Variety points to the saga as the source of the majority of her voters.

Hot off the heels of premiering at Sundance last month, "The Runaways" will make its second public appearance in Austin, Texas at the South By Southwest film festival in March. The SXSW featured films were announced this week, and "The Runaways" was one of seven "Headliners" selected by the festival.

Along with "The Runaways," the Duplass Brothers comedy "Cyrus" starring John C. Reilly and Jonah Hill, and the Bill Murray and Robert Duvall film "Get Low" are reappearing after Sundance. Two exciting films that are premiering for this first time at SXSW, however, are the much anticipated "Kick-Ass"(which will be the opening night film) and "MacGruber."

"Twilight" fans rejoice, because Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning won't be the only "Twilight" stars with films showing at the festival. Xavier Samuel, who won't really enter the Saga until this summer's "Eclipse," has his film "The Loved Ones" screening at the festival as well. The film premiered at the Toronto Film Festival last year, but this is the first time the film is hitting the States. It is in the "Midnighters" category of the festival, which we believe is self-explanatory as to when the film will be screened. ("Tucker & Dale Vs. Evil" is also in this category.)

With the focus of SXSW being a combination of film and music, it seems like the prime place for Kristen and Dakota to hop on stage and perform with Joan Jett & The Blackhearts like they did at Sundance. While we haven't seen any confirmed appearances, we wouldn't be surprised if all three made their way down south to promote the film. Which leads us to wonder: when will "The Runaways" premiere on the East Coast??

Robin Doyle, head of the makeup department for Kristen Stewart's new movie The Runaways, revealed the secret to Kristen's makeup routine: "Sometimes we’d apply Kristen’s eyeliner at night, then she’d sleep in it, and it was in all the right creases in the morning when she came to the set."

Kristen, Anna Kendrick and many more have recently done a spread for Vanity Fair Magazine. Kristen is one of the three appearing on the cover!

In an era in which every teen star has a stylist and a bland pop record, 19-year-old Kristen Stewart is the tough-minded, no-frills anomaly. Stewart played Bella Swan not as a cartoon but as anxious and complicated—making the predicament of being torn between a vampire and a werewolf seem … well, almost plausible. The daughter of a television-producer father and an Australian script-supervisor mother, the L.A.-bred Stewart has been consistently drawn to melancholy over flash. Between Twilight installments, her edgy trajectory will continue with Welcome to the Rileys, about the friendship between a stripper and a married businessman, played by James Gandolfini, and The Runaways, about rocker Joan Jett.

While some actresses like to have everything planned out perfectly, Kristen Stewart would rather take her chances living impulsively.

The “Twilight” babe recently told press that she likes to live in the moment and isn’t much for the traditional ways of doing things.

She explained, “I do things very impulsively. I don’t really like to plan things at all. If I am passionate about something then I will do it.”

This past week, Kristen was in Park City, Utah doing promotion for two new films “The Runaways” and “Welcome to the Rileys” at the Sundance Film Festival.
