Nicholas Hoult has insisted that he bears no ill will towards Kristen Stewart after she pipped him to BAFTA victory on Sunday night.

The Twilight actress, 19, beat off stiff competition from Hoult, Jesse Eisenberg, Tahar Rahim and Carey Mulligan - the winner of the 'Best Actress' gong on the night - to take home the 'Orange BAFTA Rising Star' prize, which is voted for by the public.

Speaking to Digital Spy backstage at the Elle Style Awards, Hoult said: "Any hard feelings? No, no! She was always the favourite by a long way to win the award.

"Obviously Twilight fans are incredibly supportive of those guys so it was expected to be honest. It's great when the public get behind something and support it and care about it that much."

Hoult's A Single Man co-star Colin Firth was more successful at the annual awards ceremony, collecting the 'Best Actor' trophy for his role as George Falconer, a gay university professor living in 1960s California.
