She’s barely 23, she has two Oscar nominations, one Oscar, two mega franchises and she’s actually talented and likable! As Hunger Games: Catching Fire has already pulled in $25 million from midnight showings and is on its way to a probable $170 – $180 million weekend opening, Jennifer Lawrence is without question the most powerful actress in Hollywood. She’ll be able to do essentially whatever she wants once she finishes The Hunger Games. Hopefully, she’ll continue as Mystique, but who knows where the X-Men franchise is headed? She’ll most likely pick up Oscar nom #3 for American Hustle later this year. So since it’ll be awhile before we can do a Latest vs. Greatest column for her, what are her top 5 performances so far?
1. Winter’s Bone (2010)
3. The Silver Linings Playbook (2012)
4. The Hunger Games (2012)
5. Poker House (2008)
She certainly has become one of my favorite actresses. She’s incredibly likable and shows an edge to any role she chooses. Great writeup!

In doing some of these articles, I’ve really come to realize that there is no actress who I’ll just go see whatever they do like I would, say, Tom Hanks or Matt Damon. I think that’s more a commentary on the quality of female parts in Hollywood than my viewing habits, but Jennifer Lawrence may be becoming someone of that caliber.

I still think Winter’s Bone is her best performance, but she’s acquired the kind of clout that once the Hunger Games are done, she’ll be able to do whatever she wants and I hope she keeps on this fantastic run. Thanks for the comment!
