With this award, she became the second-youngest winner in the category at just the age of 22. But for Lawrence, it was more like a quick burst of joy followed by the usual chaos of life.
As she strutted towards the stage to grab her trophy and say her thanks, she pulled off an epic stair-fumble in front of the A-list crowd and those watching on TV. J.Law has confessed that she was sensitive about the incident for a long time.

“I can’t deny the fact that you like me!” exclaimed Sally Field after winning the Best Actress Oscar for “Places in the Heart” at the 57th Academy Awards in 1985. Just five years prior to that memorable speech she had won for “Norma Rae,” but said she could barely feel it because “it was all so new.”
This year our Oscar nominations odds include eight leading contenders for Best Actress who could earn their own bookend. Five of them already have at least one Best Actress Oscar on their mantle while two took home the supporting award and one won for songwriting.
Olivia Colman (“The Lost Daughter”)
Colman won Best Actress for playing Queen Anne in “The Favourite.” At the ceremony in 2019 she defeated Yalitza Aparicio (“Roma”), Glenn Close (“The Wife”), Lady Gaga (“A Star is Born”) and Melissa McCarthy (“Can You Ever Forgive Me?”).

At this point the best actress race for the 2017 Oscars is a tight one boiling down to two very talented women: La La Land’s Emma Stone and Jackie’s Natalie Portman. Most critics are put these breakthrough performances atop their projections list — but does history show us anything about a showdown between a made-up character and one based on a real person?
Of the 16 ceremonies that have been held in the 21st century thus far, it is surprisingly an even 50-50 split between wins for a completely fictional character and a real-life character. There have been eight trophies given to each of these two respective types of characters. Given these results, let’s take a look at which roles took home the gold.
For the fictional characters, there are: Halle Berry as Leticia Musgrove in Monster’s Ball (2001), Hilary Swank as Margaret “Maggie” Fitzgerald...

An Oscar winner at just 22-years-old for her rollicking performance as the semi-unstable Tiffany Maxwell in “Silver Linings Playbook,” Lawrence is back in the hunt for another statuette this year, thanks to another outsized, grief-stricken turn as Christian Bale’s wife Roslyn in “American Hustle.” Also read: Jennifer Lawrence Wins Golden Globe 2 Years In a Row: ‘Don’t Ever Do This Again’ Despite being the only main cast member who wasn’t actually alive during the Abscam Scandal on which film is (loosely) based,...

With Dom Hemingway and Catching Fire in cinemas, James pits their J-Law stars, Jude Law and Jennifer Lawrence, in a virtual deathmatch...
If you go to the cinema today you may find that you're able to see Dom Hemingway, which stars Jude Law. You'll also find that you're able to see The Hunger Games: Catching Fire which stars Jennifer Lawrence.
They are very different films - one an indie Brit black-comedy crime flick and the other an American dystopian adventure franchise sequel - but they have one crucial similarity: they are both fronted by a J-Law.
Law and Lawrence share a nickname bestowed on them by fans and lazy journalistic types who have no respect for formal standards. This is problematic because the rules of nicknaming are similar to the credo of Highlander. "There can be only one", so we need to work out who that one is.

“I'd rather have someone human and available and raw and open. Don't give me someone cold, or cut off, or someone who considers themselves dignified.”
—Lily Tomlin, The New York Times, Sep. 19, 2004
We live in suburban single-families just around the corner; we walk, run, or ride bikes to get where we’re going, and don’t use cars or even sidewalks (there’s a fuckin’ tons of roads to run in!). The second-hand soundtrack of our lives, overheard from other movies, is overplayed classic rock, usually Zeppelin, but sometimes a drum-heavy instrumental there to underscore abandon. Our clothes express where we’re at in life, not who we are. We come running from out of nowhere like we always have, like the security guard in I Heart Huckabees, tackling Jason Schwartzmann from outside the frame for planting trees in a parking lot. Like immigrants or the crew of a John Ford movie on location,...

Why She Has A Good Shot: Chastain provided a strong emotional anchor amid the violence, terrorism and controversy in a film that chronicles the search for Osama Bin Laden.
What Might Get In Her Way: Geez, we heard that the Academy tends to respect dramas over comedies, but this sounds a little intense.

The star of our No 4 film of the year, Silver Linings Playbook, talks exclusively about her stellar year
If Hollywood needed an emblematic heroine for a year of hard times and tough decisions, it came in the form of Jennifer Lawrence: resolute, unyielding and somehow old beyond her age. Lawrence's earlier Oscar-nominated turn in the Ozark-noir Winter's Bone proved the springboard for a brilliant 2012. There she was in the spring, wielding a bow-and-arrow as kill-or-be-killed Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games, the year's best blockbuster. And there she was in the autumn, playing beautiful damaged goods alongside the likes of Bradley Cooper and Robert De Niro in Silver Linings Playbook, the year's best rom-com, and our fourth best film of the year.
We caught up with Lawrence on the set of Catching Fire, the second part of the Hunger Games franchise.
The line's crackling. Where are you?
