Hollywood Critics Association names Kristen Stewart "Actress of the Decade"

This wasn't a very good decade and this explains why.

Forgettable actress, no, no, and no.

Call me crazy, but I prefer actresses who can act.

Ellen Page was robbed

Did her agent buy this for her?

Kristen has been fortunate to have been cast in a handful of artsy movies that have afforded her some weird street cred, but she is a patently shit actress despite this. She sucks the life out of every scene she is in. Reprehensible. There are countless actresses in her peer group who are 20 times as talented.

This is an Onion article, right?

Unfortunately no!

Yuck

"Seberg" was supposed to be in theaters Dec. 13th, but I live in a major city and it's not in any theater.

She's amazing in this SNL commercial, an epic love story.

Never even nominated.

I'm truly old because people like her or Taylor Swift winning these epic awards and being recognized as great pieces of work really seems silly.

It has been a crappy decade and this just made it worse.

[quote]"Seberg" was supposed to be in theaters Dec. 13th, but I live in a major city and it's not in any theater.

I'm in L.A and it's playing here at one theater. Likely the 13th is the date for L.A and NY in order to meet the eligibility deadline and wider later.

Severe is hardly playing anywhere because it is a pile of shit. It got bad reviews and Universal has clearly dumped it without hope.

Hahaha

Seberg, not "Severe"--stupid fucking autocorrect

Is this some sort of a joke?

Annette Bening is concerned.

She seems so wrong for Seberg. Seberg was so feminine and chic. Kristen, well isn't.

This must be a joke.

I have no words

Is this like that old TV show Queen for a Day?

God help us all

Pretty much says it all for the decade, no?

What a time to look back on with fondness, as I fear it's just a precursor to what's coming.

Was a trans actress of color unavailable for this honor?

She's lucky her parents are in the business. Otherwise, nobody would have given her a second glance.

This officially replace the Pia Zadora incident from Golden Globe history

I don't get it [italic]we[/italic] all know she's a shit actress, why don't they? They're professionals so they must know better.

R30, like many arts, film criticism is so watered down from what it used to be.

I always knew there would be a downside to California legalizing weed.

When she doesn’t wear much makeup she looks like she has Down Syndrome. Twilight was about a vampire who seduces a girl with DS.

That's the ticket. Parents in the business.

Gasp!

The Root is VERY exhausted about Viola Davis not being selected!

...

In a dystopian world where no other actress exists, Kristen Stewart has been named Actress of the Decade by the Hollywood Critics Association (HCA).

“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,” The HCA tweeted from their official account on “Stewart’s impressive filmography includes Seberg, Personal Shopper, Clouds of Sils Maria, The Runaways, and Charlie’s Angels.”

Notice how they didn’t include her most notable claim to fame, Twilight. Because we, including the HCA, know damn well there’s nothing “impressive” (or “filmography” for that matter) about that turn of events. Sure, Stewart went on to prove she could step away from the fanfare saga with more independent roles, but actress of the decade?! Come on.

Hmm. According to the HCA’s official website:

The primary goal of the Hollywood Critics Association is to bring together a passionate group of critics to represent the voices of a new era in Hollywood. Our focus has always been to connect a diverse group of critics who capture the viewpoints of all backgrounds, not only in Hollywood but across the United States and abroad.

Diversity is incredibly important in film criticism and the HCA wants to make sure that all voices are represented within our group. In addition, we wanted to embrace critics who found new ways to criticize film whether that be through vlogs, webcasts, podcasts, or social media. New media is here to stay and so is the HCA.

Yeahhhh, I’m going to need the statistics of this “diverse” group to make sense of this. Hell, actually, it may be worse if a group rich with black critics and other critics of color all came together and picked Kristen when again, Viola Davis exists.

We’re talking about the same Viola Davis who did the unthinkable and stole a scene from the Meryl Streep in Doubt. The same Viola Davis who is well on her way to becoming a working actor with EGOT status (why yes, she should win a Grammy for narrating an audiobook, have you listened to any of her award acceptance speeches ever in life?!)

Leave Kristin alone!!!

R36, just to keep things in perspective, Viola has three Oscar noms (including one win), five SAG awards, a Golden Globe, a BAFTA, and countless others. Kristen, meanwhile, has her César, a bunch of Teen Choice Awards, and now this silly Hollywood Critics Association title.

She has so many awards, can't she let me have this one? Bitch!

Bitch stole my act.

[quote]Did her agent buy this for her?

Is her agent a billionaire?

R42 lol

I would have given it to Chloë Grace Moretz, at least, if only for HICK in 2011 and the fact she has range enough to tackle both comedy & drama.

Who?

Kristen has THE BEST drugs in the business.

R47 I thought that was Paris Hilton.

How dare you admire good actresses R2?

LoL R3

R11 because she was playing herself

She's good in Speak and The Runaways.

Girl, no.

Is this for a special category for people made out of wood?

R54 yes! 😆

how????? the bitch is queen of flops !!!!

She has a face made for film.

[quote] She has a face made for radio.

FIFY

I bet Mo'Nique has a lawsuit already prepared

Seberg finally gets a wide release, with praise for Kristen in a mediocre movie. Did they do some reshoots, perhaps?

Who's Viola Davis again?

Emma Stone seems like the smarter bet. Her choices lately have been spot on, I would have given her supporting acretress for the favorite.

[Quote] with praise for Kristen in a mediocre movie.

Why does this keep happening?

What a weird choice. I have nothing against Kristin. But there are at least 50 actresses I'd pick before her.

Eh, not my world. Sure it was bought and paid for.
