ETA: He actually won that award in 2008. - Thanks to RobPattOnline

Rob was awarded "Best Actor" for his performance in "How To Be" by the Strasbourg International Film Festival

Other awards received by Twilighters for non-”Twilight” performances fall primarily in the niche, festival, or independent realm. Robert Pattinson’s sole non-”Twilight” win was awarded by the Strasbourg International Film Festival—he was honored with a “Best Actor” designation for his performance in “How to Be”.

UPDATE:

Everyone found this fishy... me too... he isn't even "groomed" yet.... and he's been in Vancouver a full 24 hours... Hmmmm.....

They are scheduled to be in studio again tomorrow with Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner though films don't always stick to schedules as we have learned.

That's all for now... though keep your eyes and ears open for more in upcoming days...

Thanks for reading,

Rob called Betty White "one of the sexiest women in America," when he was on The View last March. Now White is getting ready to host the season finale of Saturday Night Live, and The New York Post got her to fess up about Rob's comments: “I should write him a thank-you note.” But don't expect anything more than that:



Still, isn’t there something the “mother of comedy” still wants to do with her career? Say, a nude scene with that young, smoldering Pattinson who’s so taken with her?


“No, sorry I wouldn’t,” she says. “There really isn’t much spare time these days.”

You can see why in this first commercial about White's debut on SNL May 8.

Summit confirmed this morning that, as the rumor mill in Hollywood has been churning for weeks, "Dreamgirls" director Bill Condon will come on to direct the fourth installment in the "Twilight" franchise, no doubt prompting an unlikely spike in "Gods & Monsters" DVD sales among teenage girls. (Condon's name was first reported as a "Breaking Dawn" candidate back in March by Entertainment Weekly.)

Condon has generally been thought of as the more logical choice, at least compared to some of the other directors under consideration, like Sofia Coppola and Stephen Daldry.

In making the choice, Summit, which has gone for a different type of director for each film in the franchise, clearly wanted someone with more Oscar chops (Condon's won one and been nominated for a second). That's both because the "Breaking Dawn" material is a little more complicated than the previous books and because with the franchise already an unstoppable juggernaut, they can afford to take a risk, at least a small one.

So what kind of teen-vampire fable will the man responsible for "Dreamgirls," "Gods & Monsters" and "Kinsey" make? None of his previous directing credits are obvious analogues to this movie (though the initial frenzy over him as a candidate was a little baffling; good filmmakers reinvent themselves all the time. And it's nothing compared to Rob Marshall, another man known for musicals, taking on "Pirates of the Caribbean 4").

Each of Condon's directorial films (he also wrote "Chicago," but we'll leave that one out) contains a strand that can be put front and center in "Breaking Dawn" if the director chose (some spoilers ahead if you're not familiar with the novel).

"Dreamgirls," for all its pomp, centers on the larger world persecuting an anointed one, a neat parallel to the ordeal faced by Bella's child. It also tells a sprawling story from several perspectives, as the "Breaking Dawn" novel does.

"Monsters," which tells of the personal and creative trouble of "Bride of Frankenstein" director James Whale, could come in handy if Condon wanted to explore the demons that come from within, a plight particularly faced by Bella throughout the series.

And a "Kinsey" influence would mean the foregrounding of a misunderstood but right-minded outsider, which kind of describes all three main protagonists in the series but especially, in this book, describes Jacob, who breaks away from his family over their murderous intentions for Bella's child.

As a rule, Condon has been preoccupied with the underdog in his movies, though one who ultimately triumphs and finds vindication, which fits nicely with the themes of "Twilight."

Still, plenty of other questions will arise as production moves forward -- namely, whether the film will shoot in 3-D, how the likely second film that will come from the "Breaking Dawn" novel will be developed, and how the timing of this one will unfold, with Summit eager to keep the momentum going but Condon, like most Oscar winners, accustomed to working at a slower pace.

In "Gods & Monsters," Condon depicted a filmmaker beset by troubles as he tried to make an expectation-laden tale of the supernatural. Here's hoping life doesn't imitate art.

FYI - I post these because I am a fan of Twilight and when they filmed in Italy for New Moon, I lived vicariously through people's tweets, photos, stories... it was the same in NYC for Remember Me & Budapest for Bel Ami.

Fans, sharing with fans, experiences, stories, thoughts and sights. And so, I do the same... for fans who can't be here!

I am not a "wanna-be" anything... I am a person, who writes what she experiences... it's Mandy's Mind - and if you don't like it - go away!

After rumours of a "meadow" reshoot I decided to pop by the meadow set last night to see if there were any signs of filming coming up. You know, signs, trailors, security, equipment...

There was nothing.

At the gate which blocks the public from the private property previously used for filming, there was a man in a car.

There is not usually a man in a car at this gate day-to-day, except during filming so this was a subtle hint that indeed this was about to become an active set.

As I drove away guess I what passed?

Trailors... power stations, mobile dressing rooms, etc. all heading towards the gate.

I came home knowing they would indeed be filming at "the meadow" soon.

Today, while many scrambled to find out where in the world Robert Pattinson was, I slept in. I was off work so I decided to swing by the set.

If it was a live set they would have been filming for several hours when I went and given the lack of rain and overcast but bright sky it seemed likely they were indeed filming at "the meadow."

This is the worst exterior set for fans wanting to catch a glimpse of happenings because it is on private property aprox 10 miles PAST a security gate.

During Eclipse, there was a circus (hair/make-up trailors) that had fairly public access... today however, there was not. They moved the circus.

The new circus was further towards the private property "meadow" set (which is actually a GVRD Park) and up a steep drive way on actual private property, as in someone's own personal property. [They were likely paid a pretty penny for its use too]

Not wanting to break any laws I did not venture up towards the circus, ignoring "No Trespassing" signs, nor did I try to get past the GVRD Gate towards the set.

It was enough to know they were indeed filming and I was excited to have found the set.

The only photos I have are of the signs used to direct crew to the hidden location.

Tonight I returned after they wrapped and saw a number of trailors leaving including mobile dressing rooms, power stations and large trucks. I believe they have wrapped that location which is theonly reason I am blogging about it.

If for some reason they haven't wrapped that location then - my bad!

But it clearly looked as though they were done based on the amount of equipment leaving this evening.

So they indeed used the "meadow" set today with both Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart. It wasn't Robert Pattinson on set, so it wasn't the "meadow proposal scene" or anything.

I think there was confusion about just what was filmed at the meadow.... MANY things!!

That particular area has vast surroundings suitable for various shots involving a field, meadow, forest, water, mountains etc.

It is a beautiful British Columbian PARK!!!

Anyways, that is my two cents... I hear studio is next, which mean more vague set reports since fans can not go into studios. But I shall report what I can.

Thanks for reading.

Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson: Bella and Edward’s (near) kiss in Catherine Hardwicke’s Twilight

Robert Pattinson’s Edward Cullen and Kristen Stewart’s Bella Swan kiss in Twilight was included in the Los Angeles Times magazine’s top 50 movie kisses ever. Okay, so a) they were placed at No. 49 (well, the list is chronological) b) it’s old news (Feb ‘10) to everyone but me and perhaps a handful of secluded aborigines in Papua New Guinea.

But I love the photo and decided to mention the (old) news here. Above is that crucial moment before Edward’s and Bella’s lips actually meet. Those precious pre-smooching seconds can be even more arousing — emotionally, I mean — than the actual kissing. At least that’s my opinion.

Can you love 'New Moon' director Chris Weitz any more? yes, yes you can. He was the chosen one to write about Rob and his official inclusion in the 2010 TIME 100 list. And Weitz didn't disappoint. Congratulations Rob! Call Chris!

I have to be careful about what I write here because it will be tweeted the moment TIME hits the stands. And if I say something bad about Rob Pattinson, I'm dead meat. That's the devotion the Twilight films inspire. It's certainly not how he planned it. And though I am continually impressed by the aplomb with which he handles the hysteria, I occasionally think he would take it all back if given the chance. Because essentially, Rob, 23, is a reserved, bookish sort of specimen, a guy who'd rather spend the night at the corner table in the pub with friends — a bit of a weirdo, frankly, in the best sense.


So how to write about someone who seems to answer Freud's rhetorical question, What do women want? Perhaps it's just worth pointing out that it'd be fun to have a beer with him even if he weren't Edward Cullen. That we haven't seen a tenth of what he can do onscreen. And that important things, beyond the veil of Hollywood, occupy his time too — music, conversation, ideas, a sense of the absurd. Which, maybe, explains why he never gets to my e-mails. I love you, Rob! Call me!

Robert Pattinson plays character Edward Cullen in the flick,and Kristen Stewart plays Bella Swan.

Things get intense for the two lovers as the evil vampire Victoria still seeks revenge for the death of James from the first “Twilight Saga” flick. “Eclipse” will also feature more fighting and action scenes,along with a much more darker tone. There will also be a stronger crop of newborn vampires that arrive on the scene. Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner) and the wolf pack will agree to join the Cullens to help get rid of them.

It will also feature some interesting back story information on characters Jasper and Rosalie Hale,played by Jackson Rathbone and Nikki Reed. “Twilight Saga: Eclipse” is set to hit theaters on June 30.

Robert was reported smiling as he arrived for Eclipse reshoots in Vancouver. He will be meeting up with Taylor & Kristen for some "pick up scenes". I have been told it's to make up where there might have been bad angles or light, etc. I hope we get some pics from the set.




Rumors of cars chases & wild paparazzi action has been reported but as far as we know it's just rumors. I guess we aren't the only ones excited to see RPattz again!

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart score well-deserved spots on People magazine’s “Most Beautiful People” list!

We knew Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart were bloody gorgeous. Duh. But now People magazine is confirming what we’ve known all along — that R-Patz and his Twilight leading lady are THE hottest couple around: both made the magazine’s “World’s Most Beautiful” issue!

“I’m so sick of my own pallid, grey complexion” the 23-year-old British hunk says, but then adds that playing vampire Edward Cullen does have it perks. He says, “Having that makeup put on every single day, as soon as you get it taken off, it’s like, ‘Oh you do look normal. You look healthy now.’”

Kristen, 20, has a similarly self-deprecating way of looking at being called a beauty. “My fashion icon is John Belushi,” she says. “Seriously.”

What happened to Joan Jett, K-Stew? We thought SHE was your fashion icon!
