Rob is E!On Line's Celeb of the Year


EOnLine' Celeb of the Year: Robert Pattinson

The race was close right up to the end, but ultimately Pattinson's 6,430 votes (51.5 percent) won out over Stewart's 6,063 votes (48.5 percent). Could this be considered an upset?

While both actors shared in the success of this summer's third Twilight installment, Eclipse, which brought in more than $300 million at the box office, it seemed Stewart had the more noteworthy year, career-wise. Her two other films, The Runaways and Welcome to the Rileys, both earned the actress solid critical and audience acclaim, further establishing her as more than just Bella Swan. Pattinson's other film, Remember Me, on the other hand...Well, critics and audiences had other thoughts on that one.

But the people have spoken and here's to the winner and everyone else who fought for the top spot! (Keep it up, Betty White!) Better luck in 2011.

1. Kristen Stewart
Not only did she share in the huge success of Eclipse, the third Twilight installment, which brought in more than $300 million at the box office, she effectively broke out of her role as Bella Swan with two other well-received flicks. Stewart's appearances in Welcome to the Rileys and The Runaways were both praised by critics and audiences and earned her the runner-up spot in our Celeb of the Year tournament.

At least that's over. lol Congratulations to both Rob and Kristen!  They both deserve to be at #1!

I love BOTH rob and kristen so it doesn't matter to me who won. they are both so talented and equally amazing. wish them both luck in 2011 and great success they deserve it. <3

I hate to agree but they're right. 2010 wasn't a great year for Rob career-wise. Remember Me didn't do very well with critics so imo I do think Kristen should had won instead. But I'm happy that Rob won anyway. I'm sure 2011 will be better for him with WFE and BA.

Not an upset at all. The fact that they both were over 6,000 speaks volume to me. I see now why they always come out on top when combined. But to me they're both winners.

I really don't understand, I liked RM, and not just b/c of Rob but it hit seriouse emotions. Now, that movie "the american" with G.C. was terrible, and critics don't say a thing b/c its "George"

*Rolls eyes at the drama a E! poll creates*

TBH, I voted. Once for Kristen, once for Rob, once for Kristen, once for Rob....

They are both #1 in my heart. :-)

Just wish they had kept the snarky comment about RM and Rob out of it though.

BTW, Kristen has been acting her ass off for years - we know she is more than just Bella. Rob is relatively new to the game (compared to her) and he did good in RM in my opinion.

Both of them are winners to me !

Thought it was "Celeb of the Year" not "Best actor". I agree, at least its over (I hope) :/

This does not surprise me.
There is quite a difference between
being a "critical" hit and one
that is considered a commercial success.
Neither of Kristens independent
movies had wide distribution or
large ticket sales and her reviews were mixed. Robert has two movies in the can. Remember Me was a financial success based on cost vs.
ticket sales.

Honestly, I voted for Kris. Several times.

I love them both to death (obviously ;)), but I tried to be fair and kris had a way better year (carrer-wise). The Runaways (WOW!), WTTR (MY GOD!!!! o_0) were THE movies this year and she def prooved herself to be an amazing, very talented and bold actress and the future hollywood queen to-be.
On the other hand, Rob was really good in RM (I thought he was ok in that movie), but it doesn't even come close to what his lady-lavoe did in 2010.
However, I think 2011 will be Rob's year. No doubt. WFE and Bel ami will show the stunning actor we know he is. Can't wait to be proud of him like I was of Kris in 2010.

But all in all, I'm happy for my hottie Rob :D I'm always happy to see him on top. Esp on top on of Kris ;))))

I didn't get the chance to vote for Kristen, shooot. But I don't care I love them both and admire their hardwork and passion for their jobs.

Congrats Rob!
I couldn't vote at the end cause it was him vs her. Hard to choose between my two number ones.
I couldn't do one her then one him, cause that would cancel out.

In honor of Robsten topping all the yearend lists...

Here's an imaginary conversation on New Year's Eve between Rob & Kristen:

R: "How would you like to kiss one of EW's sexiest stars of the year who also happens to be a Red Carpet stunner?"
K: "Sure, if you don't mind kissing a Best Dressed Fashionista who can cook a mean Christmas dinner."
R: "As long as you don't care that I came out on top for E's Celeb of 2010."
K: "I don't care who's on top, it's great either way."(cue intended inappropriate thoughts)
R: "Let's take our top-grossing earnings and head to the jeweler, I think we should put a ring on it."

Hello everyone!

IMO being a celebrity has nothing to do with what one has done per se. Rather it entails charisma, aplomb, and elan. So the argument that Rob had a less stellar year, career-wise than Kristen bears no bearing on this particular contest.

If you read the writeup the day before where they showed the results of the "semi-finals" the same people who voted for Kristen also voted for Rob. But there were a 200 plus people who voted solely for Rob.

So these same 200 plus people gave Rob the edge to win this contest.

Anyway, I am sure Rob and Kristen don't let this contest or any other polls bother them or their relationship.
A win for one is also a win for the other. So it's a win-win!

The fact that some of you are trying to explain away the nice things Eonline said about Kristen to protect Rob is exactly why this poll is lame.

Anonymous said...

I think rob deserved this award. They shouldn't say that. Who cares what the critics thought? They aren't always right. Kristen was good too, but like other people said, they are a team so it doesn't matter. But rob won, and he deserved to win so they should just drop it.

Anonymous said...

to Anon 6:12, if the results were reversed would you still find it lame? E didn't have to trash Rob to try to build up Kristen. That is whats lame.

RobStenation said...

Again, Rob and Kristen are not in competition with each other. This is just one poll. Moving on...

Anonymous said...

Yay - RobSten won! LOL
I know I'm beating a dead horse here, but I have to agree that it was a crappy write-up by E!, by comparing them like that. But...I'll let it slide cuz I'm tired of the drama and negativity in this fandom.

@Anon 6:12, I dont think anyone here disagrees with their assessment of Kristen but rather the need to put down Rob in the same breath. Just seemed unnecesary (for this poll anyway).

Lizzy said...

Rob desevered his award. I votes for both of them as many times as could. At the end i was hoping it would be a tie becuase they are both great actors to me.

For me, it's ROBSTEN who won! Robert said it before about Kristen. "There's no selfish bone in her body. She really does care!" She supports him wholeheartedly. For all the hatred she has to bear just to be with him, says a lot about what she feels for him. For that and more, Robert loves her so much and his family has so much respect for her! God bless them both and may we see a happy ending!

Malia said...

Anonymous said...

I kinda expect Rob to win cuz I think Rob has more fans than Kristen. But it is a neck to neck contest. I don't expect no. of votes that Kristen gets is so close to that of Rob's. Anyway, the poll is just for fun. No need to take it seriously.

Rob has more fans than Kristen.

According to who? Based off of what? If anything the fact that he won by just a bit proves your point wrong.

Sorry but I really didn't like what you said.
