Wearing a white belted strapless gown, the typically low-key actress looked glam for her big moment. After hearing her name, the Twilight star nervously addressed the audience and admitted her hands were shaking.

“Juliette, thank you. I’m standing in front of a room of people that I don’t need to tell about the power of Juliette Binoche. You can stand in front of her, everything that was happening to me in that film was just me reflecting her,” Stewart said. “Thank you all. I’m very happy to be here,” she concluded after also praising director Olivier Assayas and one of the films producers Charles Gillibert.
