As one of the preeminent young stars in Hollywood, Kristen Stewart embodies a casual grace that is reflected in the characters she portrays. She hasn't won any Oscars yet, but she was nominated for the Young Artist Award 3 times in a row. She has also appeared in some big-screen blockbusters alongside a few Hollywood giants.
A sports betting site, SkyBet have installed Twilight star Kristen Stewart has a favorable betting odds of 4.7 to win as the Orange Rising Star Award which was voted for by the public, nominations announced earlier this month. Sky Bet’s entertainment betting spokeswoman Helen Jacob said: “Golden Globe nominee Carey Mulligan would arguably be the critics’ choice but given that this award is voted by the public, Twilight star Kristen Stewart can rely on the support of hoards of ‘Twi-hards’, which makes her a worthy frontrunner.”

About Kristen Stewart: Her first real taste of fame came in 2001, when she was cast opposite folks like Timothy Olyphant, Joshua Jackson and Glenn Close in the acclaimed drama The Safety of Objects. Her place as an up-and-coming performer worth watching was cemented the following year with her role in David Fincher’s electrifying thriller Panic Room, in which she spent many of her scenes working alongside no less than Jodie Foster.
Kristen Stewart spent the next several years popping up in one box office success after another, including Cold Creek Manor, Catch That Kid in 2004 and Zathura: A Space Adventure in 2005, but it wasn’t until 2007 that she was cast in the leading role of a major Hollywood motion picture -- The Messengers – underwhelming horror flick, Kristen Stewart’s fans were treated to a tantalizing glimpse of her future as an A-list star. By mid 2007, Stewart had completed work on Into the Wild, Yellow Handkerchief, and What Just Happened?
In 2008, Kristen Stewart worked on more movies than any previous year. She added Jumper, to her resume, as well as the movie that made all the ladies love to hate her, the vampire flick Twilight. Playing Bella Swan, the mortal who wins over vampire Edward Cullen, played by Robert Pattinson, Stewart got to get hot and heavy onscreen with the guy of the moment who all the young girls and women alike are swooning for. When rumors broke that maybe the two were hooking up off-screen too, young girls everywhere furiously posted hate mail to Stewart on websites dedicated to hating the Twilight star. Nothing says success quite like that.
Kristen Stewart can currently be seen in New Moon, the sequel to Twilight. While we might not make it to the theater for the Twilight sequel, we'll definitely be checking Stewart out in her upcoming roles in Welcome to the Rileys, opposite James Gandolfini, and The Runaways, opposite Dakota Fanning.
