Robert Pattinson Missing The Oscars: Why He's Skipping 2013 Awards Show

FameFlynet

Talk about an awards season bummer! Rob’s filming obligations in Australia will be keeping him from attending the 2013 Academy Awards on Feb. 24, according to a new report! Read on for all the details.

We love it when our favorite hunk, Robert Pattinson, is on the slate of presenters at an awards show — it lessens the sting from his lack of nominations! Because of this, we’re totally bummed by a new report that says Rob, 26, won’t be in attendance at the 85th Annual Academy Awards on Feb. 24!

It turns out that Rob’s obligations to his new project, The Rover, will be keeping the English hunk in the Australian outback, according to E! News’ Marc Malkin. The columnist writes, “While Pattinson fans have been hopeful that they’d see their fave star in Los Angeles for the Oscars, I’m told filming will keep him away from this year’s festivities.” Bummer!

Robert Pattinson’s Australian Antics

Rob’s been keeping quite busy down under, with his crew filming is mostly remote and desolate towns on the outskirts of Flinders Ranges, but it’s not been all work. The Twilight actor was had a run-in with police after being caught riding a bike without a helmet!

“Yes that is the case [that he was cautioned],” a representative with the SA Police told HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. “He will not be fined, it is just a simple caution. We had a chat with him and told him that it is a requirement to wear a helmet while cycling a pushbike. It’s no biggie.”

As for how the hunk was caught, it turns out it was a pesky fan! “Someone took a picture of him when he was out cycling so that is how we knew,” the officer says. “If he does it again, he will be fined.”

Are you bummed that Rob won’t be at this year’s Oscars, HollywoodLifers?

I hope Stephanie writes another Twilight script in which Bella is dead in a battle and Rob/Edward falls in love with another Vampire Girl , they have a Mr. and Mrs . Smith kind of a meeting that ends with them eventually falling in love. This story should be awesome !!

Read the words, accept the truth before it is too late :))

I’m afraid I am far back in line with all Team Edward, with an ever-growing love for Robert Pattinson’s acting (and heart-breaking skills) and sit with baited breath for that day he feels like calling on a Robsessed fan for dinner…(wake up you’re 42!)!
Ha ha God I <3 it.
I have to say, Robert has become a genre in his own right and who knows when it will all phase out? Personally…I doubt it ever will. The rugged look ages well and his acting flair will flourish. Stephenie Meyer…Im quite sure there's enough lead left in your pencil to create another frenzy…'The Cullens return with age to chamelionise in their beloved town of Forks? I am beginning to sound like a certain Kathy Bates…you cockadoody dirdybird you.

@d.harris the first few times she typed it, I couldn’t help myself for thinking back to the ‘The Omen’ when the Father warned Mr. thorn to accept Christ!! Ha ha I mean I adore Rob, Kristen etc but someones drawing a line hereee! ;)
