Kristen Stewart Has A Blunt Answer When Asked About Possibly Nabbing An Oscar Nom For Spencer
Kristen Stewart weighs on her Oscar buzz as only she can.
Kristen Stewart has never been shy about sharing her opinions, especially post-Twilight. Whether she’s petitioning for Guy Fieri to officiate her upcoming wedding or getting real during Spencer interviews, the Los Angeles native has a refreshingly direct manner that makes her all the more compelling. The latest topic Kristen Stewart has weighed in on? The Spencer Oscar buzz, of course. And here’s a hint: it’s not even on her radar.

When Clayton Davis asked what she thought about her royal role possible snagging an Oscar nod, Kristen Stewart had a delightfully flippant response:
While her sarcasm was evident, it’s clear that Kristen Stewart didn’t take on the role of Princess Diana in the hopes of garnering industry acclaim. Throughout her tour of Spencer promotional events, she has been consistently discussing the intensity of her preparation and her determination to do the late Princess of Wales justice. Kristen Stewart did, however, acknowledge the prominence of the Oscars and how the nominees can serve as a microcosm of the cultural zeitgeist. She explained:
Kristen Stewart is also more than aware of the industry’s perception of her views. She notes that many interviewers have been hesitant to broach the topic of awards, although she’s not sure where that comes from. She said:
It seems like Kristen Stewart is content to simply share Spencer with the world - whether or not she takes home that legendary golden statuette.
Spencer is now playing in theaters everywhere. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will announce the official 2022 Oscar nominees on February 8, 2022, to be followed by the formal ceremony on March 27.
