The actress shot to stardom with her role as Bella Swan in the hugely popular Twilight series, but has since courted both controversy and critical acclaim because of her career and personal life. Now, she is making headlines again and the Kristen Stewart latest news is that she might be getting nominated for an Academy Award soon.

Well that is certainly what Sony Pictures is hoping with the actress' latest film Still Alice. The co-chief of Sony Pictures, Michael Barker, was recently interviewed by The Hollywood Reporter, and they revealed that they are very much proud of the work the actress has done on the movie.

"Kristen Stewart is someone we have seen in many movies over the last several years - four in 2014, with three coming up in 2015 so far - and she has shown great range in such a wide variety of genres," Barker said "But there is something about this performance that has new depths that she hasn't shown before. She's really terrific in the film."

The movie Still Alice, is based on the bestselling novel by Lisa Genova which is about a woman named Alice, who is a psychologist diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's disease. Alice is played by Julianne Moore, while Kristen Stewart plays one of her children. And the latest Kristen Stewart news is that the movie showcases the actress' excellent acting skills.

The 24 year old certainly has come a long way from her days playing teen idol Bella Swan in Twilight. She was recently interviewed by E! on how much her life has changed since her blockbuster turn as a teenager caught in a vampire-werewolf love triangle. "It's difficult to answer that question," the star admitted. "On an exceptionally obvious note, it's opened a lot of doors, but I've become who I am because of that. It was five years of my life."

It looks like the vampire movie franchise did open up plenty of acting opportunities for Stewart. Aside from Still Alice, she is also starring in Camp X-Ray, and Clouds of Sils Maria. For more Kristen Stewart latest news, stay tuned!
