Anna Kendrick receives Palm Springs International Film Festival Rising Star Award

Anna Kendrick is one of the fastest rising young actresses in Hollywood today. And this is even more cemented when she was awarded with the Palm Springs International Film Festival Rising Star Award for her portrayal as a feisty Ivy League educated efficiency expert opposite George Clooney in the film, Up in the Air. Anna was interviewed both by ET Online and E! Online regarding her new film as well as her co-stars in New Moon.

On her co-stars Robert and Taylor:

“Taylor will certainly capture the hearts of many people who thought they only had eyes for Rob,” Kendrick said of the upcoming second installment of the Twilight movie franchise. “He’s so cute. He’s such a cutie.”

“You meet Taylor and there’s something really special about him,” Kendrick said. “He’s so warm. He’s so different from Rob and different from Kristen. There’s something about him that feels he’s sort of built for this.”

On the rumors about Robert and Kristen:

“God bless them,” Kendrick said. “They seem to be handling it so well, so much better than I could ever imagine it for myself. I don’t know how they manage to stay so normal and level-headed.”

“There’s a part of me that gets frustrated that they’re on the cover of a magazine and it’s says they’re engaged!” Kendrick griped. “You just want to scream. You just want to hold the magazine up and scream to everyone in the supermarket, ‘This isn’t true!’”
