Kirsten Dunst loves being surprised in her relationships. The 'Melancholia' actress - who has previously dated stars including Hollywood hunk Jake Gyllenhaal and Razorlight frontman Johnny Borrell - claims she doesn't care what a guy does for a living as long as he makes her laugh and is honest.

She said: "When it comes to dating someone, I don't care what you do. Just as long as you make me laugh, you're a good person, you surprise me and we're honest with each other."The 29-year-old actress also believes it is important to retain some independence while in a relationship or the romance is likely to turn sour. She said: "It's important to have your own life. As soon as you give up too much of yourself it just turns bad."

Kirsten also admitted that as she gets older she prefers to be friends with someone before dating them because she can't rely on "instant chemistry" to help form a long lasting relationship. She told Live magazine: "My experience is that as you get older you try to pick a partner who you're friends with. It's hard to find balance and that's not going to come with the 'instant chemistry' kind of people."

The apocalyptic psychological drama Melancholia was recently named the year’s best film by the National Society of Film Critics. While Kirsten Dunst, the protagonist of the film, was chosen as the best actress, Brad Pitt was picked as best actor for the baseball drama Moneyball as well as The Tree of Life.

Lars von Trier lost out on the best director award for his work on Melancholia to Terrence Malick for The Tree of Life, a mystical period piece which also won the best cinematography prize.

But the big win by Melancholia bolstered the offbeat film’s chances for the upcoming Academy Awards, which will announce nominees later this month. Set against the backdrop of a country wedding, the dark film explores the strained relationship of two sisters, one a bride played by Dunst, while a strange planet threatens to collide with Earth, wiping out all traces of human existence.

Pitt, already a strong contender for the Oscars, was honoured for his roles as Oakland A’s manager Billy Beane in Moneyball as well as a strict father in The Tree of Life. Critics’ awards are important in helping build momentum heading toward the Academy Awards, or Oscars, which are the world’s top film awards given out on the final Sunday in February by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

The NSFC includes 58 members from major newspapers in Los Angeles, Boston, New York, Chicago and other cities as well as from Time, Newsweek and The New Yorker and newspapers The Village Voice and The Boston Phoenix. The group’s awards for best supporting performances went to Albert Brooks, who played a small-time hood in the drama Drive, and Jessica Chastain, who was honoured for her performances in The Tree of Life, Take Shelter and The Help.

Kirsten's Rodarte Spring 2012 pants, paired with a solid colored top, like the actress wore is such a great way to try out a bold print without overwhelming the whole outfit.

Kirsten had an eventful week as awards season began. Before those cheerful colors she wore at the Chateau Marmont, Kirsten Dunst went for a romantic look at the Art of Elysium Heaven Gala.

Kirsten Dunst wants to make a film in German. The 'Melancholia' actress' next career ambition is to play a non-English speaking character in a movie and would particularly like to pay tribute to her roots.

She said:"I really want to do a film in another language. "My dad's from Germany, so it'd be really cool to do a film in German. I'm not quite fluent, but I can get there. And my accent's pretty good. I wouldn't feel too out of my element."

The 29-year-old actress feels "lucky" as she is able to be selective about the roles she chooses and says her main consideration is who is creating the project. She said: "I feel like everyone directs their own career according to their taste, what they migrate to emotionally and what kind of artists they want to work with.

"And I'm lucky enough to be in a position where I can wait six months for a project that really interests me. The filmmaker is really important to me: it could be their first film, it's not just about their reputation, but I have to really believe in them. In a way, to me, even 'Spider-Man' was almost like an independent film on a very large scale, because Sam Raimi has such an independent spirit."

However, Kirsten admits there are few offers she has received that interest her and she believes the movie industry is oversaturated. She told HitFix: "Well, I don't limit myself, and I don't do things just to do things. I've been lucky to find people who want to work with me, whom I respect and like, but the truth is there aren't that many good projects out there. And we make way, way too many movies. So it's not always going to happen with every project. But I try and wait it out."
