  1. Great work man, so pumped for so many of these. I love that Stewart won Supporting Actress. I've always rooted for her.

  2. It was a lot of fun to put together, and everything you have heard about her performance (from Cannes or wherever) is true. It has taken me a while to come around but I liked her in Into the Wild, Adventureland and On the Road. I think this is her best performance.
