"Jodie Foster was my favorite actress before I was cast as her daughter in a movie called, 'Panic Room,' when I was 10," Stewart said at the time. "She did everything young, she kicked Yale's a--, she won Oscars, she became a filmmaker herself, she created a family and still is just normal and cool and kind."

Stewart was honored Thursday night at the opening gala with the Visionary Award. Actor Jesse Eisenberg, who starred in "Adventureland," "American Ultra" and "Café Society" with Stewart, presented her with the honor.
