Kristen Stewart on her Princess Diana in "Spencer"

[@kokoleka808]

This has got to be one of my favorite Kristen Stewart interviews of all time--Tracy Smith asked all the right questions while Kristen responded like an open book, pouring out her heart and soul with her love of acting shinning through so brilliantly--with film clips from several of her best and most popular performances interspersed.

[@JulieGraceImmink]

[@Mrchair-bk5ns]

@@againstthepods4316 Without knowing her? She did a lot of research. Pablo Larrain, the director mentioned in an interview with Stewart that they would share research material constantly between each other. Stewart noticed and noted down a lot of Diana's mannerisms. Stewart did her research. During her first filming session on set, she tried to base her performance from the research but remarked that she over did it so did Pablo. Kristen Stewart's performance in Spencer is melodramatic for the script and intensely psychological with some creative liberties put in there. I literally cried and felt sad. I noticed her temper triggered by the bulimia. Frankly, the performance is being criticized harshly. Watch this video titled "Spencer - A look at Kristen Stewart's voice and depiction in the movie TRIGGER WARNING SEE DETAILS", the video essayist gives a fair shake of the common thread criticism.

[@cledsonsilva3070]

I'm not surprised at all that she is the most awarded actress of 2021, she really did a spectacular job as Diana Spencer, one of the rare cases where we don't get to see the actress, only the character appears. Brava, Kristen!

[@a.madison9625]

Only from the critics, not the audiences and she didn't win a single competitive award at any festival, and the film went to about 2 dozen festivals. It never won a single audience award, in fact, at Telluride, the audience ranked it 11th out of all the films they saw. It was not an audience favorite outside of the festivals either. Neon had to yank it out of theaters and put it on VOS after only 3 weeks because no one was going to see it.

[@Fl0k5ser]

@@a.madison9625 yeah so? This isn't MTV or People's Choice Awards anyways where audiences picked their winners, not professional film critics. She might've not win Festival's heart but she sure wins Critics' heart a lot more than festivals. She was nominated for a Volpi Cup for Best Actress at Venice so that's saying something. I'd rather see her being nominated than actually winning because it's still the same recognition. Critics awards are more valuable than audience awards dude. She won Best Actress by 20 Critics Group across the US beating any actress that's competing with her, enough said. She deserves every praise she gets

Despite Kristen Stewart's absence in this year's SAG Award nominations, her turn as Princess Diana in 'Spencer' remains Oscar-worthy.

[@a.madison9625]

Her peers in the Screen Actors Guild obviously disagree with you. Maybe they weren't impressed with her whipser-mubmble delivery and her one expression thru the whole film.

[@swankhood]

@@a.madison9625 or maybe it's a popularity contest. She will get a Oscar nomination and Gaga will not.

[@a.madison9625]

@@swankhood You are aware that the actors who snubbed her for SAG are the same people who do the Oscar nominating? You do know that, right? It's the same people. If they didn't think she was good enough for SAG, they're not going to suddenly change their mind for the Oscars. And GAGA got a SAG nomination, and she will get an Oscar nomination because she's a better actress. It's not a popularity contest, but if it was, Gaga would win that one, too. She's much more liked than Kristen is, everywhere.

[@swankhood]

@@a.madison9625 No they're not. The number if people who vote is much larger. I don't need you to tell me that Troll.

[@a.madison9625]

@@swankhood No, they are the same actors from SAG who are in the Academy. I think you are confused. SAG has a bigger membership, not just actors. But the actors who are in SAG are also the ones who do the nominating for best actress at the Oscars. So if 4,000 members voted for the SAG nominations, out of that, a thousand actors are the same ones who are members of the Academy. The entire Academy does not do the nominating for the actors. Only the actor's branch. After the nominating, then the entire Academy gets to vote for the winner. But if the actors didn't nominate her when they had the chance at SAG, they aren't suddenly going to nominate her for an Oscar. They've never liked her and she wasn't impressive in Spencer. The critics don't get to nominate, and the only people they impress are each other.

[@malkaz9167]

Kristin Stewart is an amazing actress who portrayed an amazing woman. Diana is missed everyday. She achieved a lot in her 36 years. The best things about her marriage to Charles were her sons. They were Diana’s best friends. I loved Diana!! Congratulations, Kristin, on a job well done. You deserve every award.

[@bg9217]

She's always been brilliant, just like Jodi foster. Child actor, to mega star actor. She's just so impressive.

[@madden919]

My mom and I went to see Spencer and on the way out, the movie theater employees asked us what we thought of it. We told them that we thought it was amazing and they were happy. They said that people had constantly been walking out and said it was "boring." We were shocked. 😂 Kristen was spectacular. 👍🏻

[@maryem7186]

It was unbelievably good- so emotional and beautiful and stayed with me for days. People arnt used to art unfortunately.

[@AgentAO7]

It’s probably the script & the story itself. Kristen might have nailed the looks & some of Diana’s mannerisms but other than that, it didn’t feel something like Princess Diana would actually be.. Yes, it’s not a documentary of her life, and most probably a fictional story overall, but I felt like some of the scenes & dialogues were a disrespect not only to the Royal Family but to Diana herself..

[@TheCandiceWang]

@@AgentAO7 yep. And the movie itself is not so good. Kristen's acting is better than the movie itself. I get the reason for showing her in a paranoid light, but I don't think it translates well...

[@artisthusnatalal3099]

*I can say she tried but that was not how Diana talks. And her face didn't match. But she tried with Dianas mannerism. I remember there was a competition of ladies who cut their hair to resemble Princess Diana and one Lady's face looked exactly like Dianas. I wonder why they didn't pick the woman*

Academy Award performance! It was like looking into Diana’s life and forgot it was a movie. She was amazing!

[@davidthomas-ot4cl]

I'm British and I went to the film expecting her to be dire but I was curious to see her anyway. I was blown away. She totally becomes Diana. Even Diana's bodyguard said her performance is the closest he's seen to the real Diana. The accent was a little too breathy but apart from that, she gave an Oscar worthy performance.

However, I am curious about one thing this whole time. Been following Diana since I was a kid cos my mother loved her. But however familiar I am with the general British accent, a native Brit should be able to tell if Kristen's accent was close to Diana's accent.
