"I voted Kristen. To most people she's only known for being in Twilight, but she's been in so much more. Her performance in 'Speak' blew me away. To deal with such a sensitive topic at such a young age... phenominal. Kristen gets my vote 100%."

"Kristen to win, she's an amazing actress and has been ever since Panic Room. I love all her movies, especially Twilight and she is what i would definitely call a Rising Star. She has my vote 100%."

"Kristen may get a lot of roles, but they are not even close to BAFTA-worthy and she always has the same careless face in every movie. I hope either Carey or Nicholas wins - their movies were fantastic and it could launch them just like Shia and James."

"Kristen Stewart is not a phenomenal actress - she is okay but not amazing. Carey Mulligan should win because this is her break through performance and Kristen's performance this year was not as captivating or will be taken as seriously as Carey's."

"All of they are great actors, but all of you have to agree Kristen is a really rising star, so I vote for her, because of her career so far, she did Panic Room, the Twilight saga, The Runaways, Welcome to the Rileys, Speak. She run all the way from a romantic girl, to a prostitute, from a kid that was rapped, to a famous rock star! She rocks, I respect the other actors, but she is the best!"

"Kristen Stewart in my opinion has been a rising star for ages and deserves this award. She isn't just "the chick from the Twilight films". Panic Room, Speak, Adventureland, The Cake Eaters, and Into the Wild, are just SOME of her amazing roles. Kristen for the win for me!"

"Kristen Stewart may be known from the Twilight films but she has so many other brilliant performances too. She is the most exciting rising star... I can't wait to see the Runaways this year."

"Tahar Rahim has got to get this one. He gave a corking performance in Un Prophete. Also, Nicholas Hoult is an accomplished actor but where's the context? Rising Star 2010?"
