Before heading into the awards, Twilight's Anna Kendrick takes time out for the Twi-hards waiting outside of the Palm Springs Convention Center, where the actress received an award for her work opposite George Clooney in Up in the Air. Kendrick – who was awarded with the Rising Star Award – admitted that she hasn't quite adjusted to her new fame. "I get nervous every time the invitation says formal," she told PEOPLE. "I feel like they are going to find out I am from Maine and kick me out so fast."
