Could Kristen Stewart score an Oscar nomination for On The Road?

With awards season ramping up and the adaptation of the Jack Kerouac classic set to debut in limited release this month, buzz about the actress’ portrayal ofMarylou and potential honors is surfacing in some corners.

But what does Stewart think of the hype?

The Huffington Post asked theTwilight star for her thoughts on the awards season push.

“I love talking about this movie and everyone involved and the book and everything I’ve been through since the start of it. I would do anything to get the word out,” said Stewart.

But she added, “The fact that it has something to do with the Academy, I simply personally can’t acknowledge it in any way because it’s a ridiculous notion to suddenly go, like, ‘Yep, I’m really gunning. I’m really gunning for it.’”

Golden Globe nominations will be announced on Thursday, with the Oscar nods coming in January.

Kristen Stewart is set to star in Focus.

She told the HuffingtonPost, “I can confirm that rumor,” referring to stories that emerged last month that she’s slated to be in the film.

“It’s a comedy. I’m really excited about it,” she added.

Focus is said to involve a veteran con artist, played by Ben Affleck, who teams up with a young woman who’s new to the grifter lifestyle.

Production begins in April.

Could Kristen Stewart return as the title heroine in a Snow White and the Huntsmansequel?

The actress hints at a possible follow-up to last summer’s hit fairy tale adaptation in a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the same outlet thatwrongly claimed she’d been “dropped” from a potential sequel back in August.

On struggling to play it cool in this industry: “I know if you haven’t thought about how you want to present a very packaged idea of yourself then it can seem like you lack ambition. But, dude, honestly? I can’t. People expect it to be easy because there you are, out there, doing the thing that you want and making lots of money out of it. But, you know, I’m not that smooth. I can get clumsy around certain people. Like if I were to sit down and think, ‘OK, I’m really famous, how am I going to conduct myself in public?’ I wouldn’t know who that person would be! It would be a lot easier if I could, but I can’t.”ear-old Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 talked about going blonde for a film role, struggling to play it cool, and more. Check it:

On going blonde for On the Road: “I feel like my whole body rejects it, but it was really important for the character. It was like learning an accent!”

On having empathy for the Beat generation: “There is always going to be that seam of people who want things differently to the standardized version. It’s not necessarily a rebellious thing, it’s just who they are. That world back then, it just seems freer to me than anything I could ever touch and I’m fully nostalgic for it, even though I wasn’t even alive then. It’s the loyalty aspect of it all. I love being on the periphery with a group of people who have the same values that I do. People who don’t get off on fame, who just like the process of making movies and thrive.”

“On The Road” Walter Salles, France/Brazil North American Premiere
Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Walter Salles and based on the iconic novel by Jack Kerouac, On The Road tells the provocative story of Sal Paradise (Sam Riley), a young writer whose life is ultimately redefined by the arrival of Dean Moriarty (Garrett Hedlund), a free-spirited, fearless, fast-talking Westerner and his girl, Marylou (Kristen Stewart). Traveling cross-country, Sal and Dean venture out on a personal quest for freedom from the conformity and conservatism engulfing them in search of the unknown, themselves, and the pursuit of it – the pure essence of experience. Seeking unchartered terrain and the last American frontier, the duo encounter an eclectic mix of men and women, each adding meaning to their desire for a new way of life. The screenplay is by Jose Rivera (Academy Award nominee for The Motorcycle Diaries), while Executive Producer Francis Ford Coppola has been developing the project since 1978. Also stars Viggo Mortensen and Kirsten Dunst.
