We rarely see her smile, so when she was asked to be on stage at the Oscars, we thought Kristen Stewart would be a dismal failure to say the least.

She presented a montage of horror films with Twilight co-star Taylor Lautner and admits she found speaking in front of Hollywood's elite "daunting".

"I wouldn't have been able to finish the sentence had I not gone and cleared my throat. Then I would've gotten more criticism for not being able to speak at the Oscars - which is worse than clearing your throat at the Oscars. It's all good. There are a few things that replay in my head like, oh that happened, why? Why?"

She added: "A lot of it I find funny. The coughing I did find funny. This is going to baffle some people, but I was so proud of myself that night. I didn't fall down or anything!"

That's our girl!
