Stewart has starred in a vast amount of films over this decade, including leading roles in The Runaways, Personal Shopper, Clouds of Sils Maria, and most recently, Charlie’s Angels. Last year, she starred alongside Chloë Sevigny in psychological thriller Lizzie. Also receiving an award is Blade Runner 2049 and Arrival director Denis Villeneuve, who’s working on a reboot TV series of Frank Herbert’s Dune, featuring Timothée Chalamet. Back in September, Stewart – who came out in 2017, after describing herself as “so gay” in an SNL monologue – revealed that she was told to hide her sexuality in the past in order to increase her chances of being cast in certain films. She told Harper’s Bazaar: “I have fully been told, ‘if you just do yourself a favour, and don’t go out holding your girlfriend’s hand in public, you might get a Marvel movie’.” The 29-year-old recently addressed the box office failure of Charlie’s Angels. She said to The Playlist (via Comic Book): “Well, to be honest with you, I think if I had made a movie that wasn’t good and one that I wasn’t proud of and a lot of people saw it, I would be devastated. “Luckily I’m not feeling gutted because I really am proud of the movie. And I think that the kind of the climate that we’re living in right now is polarising and it’s weird and it’s kind of hard to promote a movie like that. And I think trying to have a really complicated, overly politicised feminist conversation in a five minute TV interview about Charlie’s Angels….I’m like, ‘Dude, we just wanted to have a good time’.” Stewart will be awarded Actress of the Decade next year, January 9, 2020, but in all realness, we called it back in 2017. We at the HCA are proud to announce that Kristen Stewart will receive the Actress of the Decade Award at our ceremony on January 9, 2020. Stewart's impressive filmography includes Seberg, Personal Shopper, Clouds of Sils Maria, The Runaways, and Charlie's Angels. #KristenStewartpic.twitter.com/OYpjKDQD2d— Hollywood Critics Association (@LAOFCS) December 13, 2019Expand your creative community and connect with 15,000 creatives from around the world.READ MORERed Scare revisited: 5 radical films that Hollywood tried to banPlainclothes is a tough but tender psychosexual thrillerCillian Murphy and Little Simz on their ‘provoking’ new film, Steve‘It’s like a drug, the adrenaline’: Julia Fox’s 6 favourite horror filmsHow Benny Safdie rewrote the rules of the sports biopic Harris Dickinson’s Urchin is a magnetic study of life on the marginsPaul Thomas Anderson on writing, The PCC and One Battle After AnotherWayward, a Twin Peaks-y new thriller about the ‘troubled teen’ industryHappyend: A Japanese teen sci-fi set in a dystopian, AI-driven futureClara Law: An introduction to Hong Kong’s unsung indie visionaryHackers at 30: The full story behind the cult cyber fairytaleChristopher Briney: ‘It’s hard to wear your heart on your sleeve’
