Kristen Stewart on Being a Proud 'Valley Girl'...and Finally Getting That Oscar Nomination
Kristen Stewart was determined not to be concerned about whether or not she got an Oscar nomination this year for her role in Spencer. She even refused to set an alarm the morning that the nominations were coming out. As she told her fiancee, Dylan Meyer: "Dude. Just doing the movie was enough for me."
Of course, as luck would have it, Stewart woke up at 7 anyway, and when she looked at her phone, seeing all the happy emojis in her many, many text notifications, she knew. First thing, of course, she turned to Meyer and said, "Oh, my God, dude, I got it."
"It was just such a surreal moment," Stewart told the LA Times with a laugh. "I will be totally honest and just say it was so cool. I could not believe it."
It's especially cool considering the fact that Stewart was snubbed by many of the other major awards shows: She did not recieve a nomination for a SAG award or a BAFTA, which many took as a bad sign for the Oscar noms - but we're so glad it didn't.
Stewart didn't want to talk much about the Oscars, though - she's notoriously humble and down-to-earth. Instead, she wanted to talk about her perfect day in LA - which involves a lot of tacos any way you slice it.
"I wouldn't eat anywhere that isn't a stand or a truck. Like, I would wait for it to get really late, take you to the Valley, skate around and get really hungry and then find a taco truck that stays open all night. Because tacos taste different at that hour ... even if you're not wasted."
That's right, Kristen Stewart also skateboards - of course she does. She's been doing it since she was a kid - the self-proclaimed "proud Valley Girl" grew up in Woodland Hills, and used to cut through a private yard in order to get to this little hill where she could overlook Ventura Boulevard.
"That was my favorite thing, because that one hill would turn green in the spring for, like, two weeks before the Valley summer turned it brown. It was the coolest worst thing I could do, because I had to kind of break into a backyard to get there. But I never got caught. I didn't have a problem with being slightly reckless, but it was the getting-caught part that always worried me."
