Film Star of 2010 - nominees
Actress
Kristen Stewart in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse
The Twilight Saga: Eclipse needs little introduction, as audiences who fell for Bella Swan, Edward Cullen and Jacob Black in the first two movies – or indeed in the original books – will have eagerly awaited this instalment. It sees Bella (Kristin Stewart) forced to make a choice between the two loves of her life (played by Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner), in the knowledge that her decision risks sparking an all out war between vampire and werewolf on Earth.

The RAFAs are dedicated to Richard Attenborough, who was born in Cambridge but spent his childhood in Leicester. He made his screen debut in the 1942 Noel Coward/David Lean film, In Which We Serve, while still a student at RADA. Among the films in which he appeared are Brighton Rock, The Great Escape, Jurassic Park and Miracle on 34th Street. In 1969 came the first of his twelve movies as producer/ director, Oh, What a Lovely War. He is undoubtedly best known for Gandhi, 1982 winner of eight Oscars and five BAFTAs, including Best Picture and Best Director on both sides of the Atlantic. Lord Attenborough CBE is Chair or President of numerous media industry bodies and charities.
Lord Attenborough CBE said: "I have always believed that the cinema’s astonishing power to surprise, move, amuse and, above all, entertain can only be fulfilled when films are experienced by audiences. Critics can highlight and champion new films they admire, contributing to the all-important word of mouth on their release. As three-quarters of UK cinema admissions take place outside the London area, I am only too pleased to support the regional critics in their appreciation and celebration of the finest filmmaking.”
