#Kristen Stewart Reacts To The Spencer Oscar Buzz

Stewart is glad that something she’s a part of is getting that kind of attention, but she also has a valid point about the incredible movies and performances that don’t get seen. There are hundreds of independent and foreign films that go unnoticed by mainstream audiences and awards shows every year, while the same crop of favorites tend to get all of the attention. Art, like Stewart says, is about igniting conversations and connecting with one another, and that can be difficult when people are only paying attention to creators who are already famous.

It’s looking likely that “Spencer” will be Stewart’s first nomination of many. Her performance in “Personal Shopper” was woefully underseen, though she did at least get critical praise for her portrayal of a young woman haunted by the memory of her dead twin brother. “Spencer” is another intense performance of someone dealing with the ghosts of the past, and hopefully it will help open doors for her to get other big, challenging roles. Stewart is a phenomenal performer, and I can’t wait to see what she does next.

“Spencer” is in theaters now.
