The gala and ceremony is set to take place October 27th, at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California. Many congratulations, Robert!
Congratulations! :) But seriously… i don’t really care about Twilight. I really wanna see him as Dali on the movie “Little Ashes”. Does anyone know when that is going to open!?........ I can’t find anything… Please let us know!...
I love Rob.. he deserves this.. he’s a great actor, seen all his work.. Greatness.. now i can’t wait to see “Little Ashes”, “How To Be”.. and of course “TWILIGHT”... i’m Robssessed!!!!!
to carol carvalho: right now all i know is that “Little Ashes” is set to come out in early of 2009, in selected places.. but right now it’s just making it’s rounds in some film festivles like “How To Be” is….
Not to take anything away from Robert Pattinson, I actually thought he looked pretty special and very promising just from his short role in GOF, I think he will reach great heights in his acting career. So I looked up his portfolio on IMDB to see what he has done so far and…well its a very small one. Twightlight is his second starring role but it hasn’t been released yet. So I just like to know what is this “New Hollywood Award” honoring? His potential? If it’s for his work done so far then fair enough but is his portfolio really substantial enough? I do get the feeling that it is a marketing tool for Twighlight. I dont know, the award just doesn’t make sense but so do many others! Whatever, congrats to Robert anyway and I look forward to watching Twilight.

Congratulations, to Mr Pattinson! What an achievement! Looks like we can expect more, from this young man, as well! I wasn’t aware the was going to be in ‘The Secret Life Of Bees’! I so want to see that movie. Unfortunately, like many movies, it’s going to be in “limited release” here, in the US. But I hope it comes here. Now I have an even better reason to see it! Again: congratulations, Mr Pattinson! Well deserved!

@Professor Potter: To answer your question, re: “what is this New Hollywood Award honouring?” I was quite curious, myself, never having heard of them. First, I would suggest that you follow the link, given by Leaky, to the Award site. Check out “About Us” and it will give you the answers. I would also add, that, the Hollywood Awards are NOT new…we just don’t hear about them, because they are not “major” awards….I hope this will help folks who are curious. I found it quite, interesting, myself.

I wish the press release had mentioned Twilight and How To Be. These are the roles that will show casting directors that Rob is a formidable actor. Congratulations Rob you are going to craft a wonderful portfolio of roles over the years. The next Depp for certain.
for what? for being good looking?
nothing personal against Rob Pattinson but twilight isn’t even out yet, and they’re giving him an award? just because mindless fangirls think he’s hot?
I really hate twilight,t it’s just another cheesy, badly written romance story and the reviews for the last book pretty much all said how awful the last book was and that Meyer writes like a 12 year old.
yet so many stupid girls just care about an absurd, badly written story just because the main character is cute, that’s so shallow.
Well researched as usual, Confederate Lady :) So it is basically a best newcomer award but the fact it is given to Robert close to Twilight’s release still seems to be somewhat of a marketing influence, as no one has any chance to judge his performance yet! But Robert shows much promise and his role in Twilight may very well warrant the award. But many here thinks he already deserves it so I best shut up!

@ Professor Potter: I guess it’s Kinda like the Academy Awards, as far as “hype” for an upcoming release goes.. Anyway, I too, am seeing a bright acting future ahead He’s “not quite there” yet, but, he’ll definately be one to watch! :D
Good job, Mr Pattinson! Keep up the good work! [Glad to be of service, Professor!]
