Jennifer Lawrence is awesome.

[llipgh2]

Her reactions were great.

That's like winning rookie of the year and having Mario Lemieux come over and say "Great season"

"I'll be waiting"

God I loathe George Stephanopoulos

1) i refuse to believe that silver linings playbook was any kind of great movie.
2) i refuse to ever watch it.

i understand #2's doesn't mesh with #1, but that's what we're dealing with here.

Oddly enough, I feel the same, and furthermore, I will continue to base my entire opinion of Jennifer Lawrence on her terrible performance in x men.

what about it makes you believe it won't be any good? I remember when I refused to watch Titanic, lasted 15 years, finally watched it recently, not sure why I protested now.

I agree with both #1 and #2. And I regret seeing Titanic. Seeing boobies was not worth the hit i took watching the rest of that movie.

yeah, but why do you think it will not be any kind of great movie, thats all I was asking.

Honestly the X-Men performance and The Hunger Games (better performance than X-Men) has left me utterly shocked that she won an Oscar. That isn't even counting the abomination of House at the End of the Street.

[Froggy]

I didn't think she was necessarily bad in The Hungry Games, just bland.

[AlexPKeaton]

Jennifer Lawrence is pretty awesome. She is a significantly better actress than that turd from Twilight, and also she is way hotter than Ann Hathaway and her big mouth.

[Rylan]

Agreed, good term for it. I wasn't trying to imply she was bad in Hunger Games, but just not an actress I would have thought would have an Oscar.

[Idoit40fans]

It just doesn't look good.

[Froggy]

Yeah, she strikes me more as a "movie star" than an "actress", if that makes sense. And usually the academy makes those types pay their dues a bit more before they get an Oscar (Julia Roberts, Sandra Bullock, etc...)

Definitely. But then again, it seems that there aren't as many actresses currently that I would say are great. So, I don't know.

[Azkar]

Jennifer Lawrence seems so candid and genuine.

[count2infinity]

movie snobs...

[AlexPKeaton]

Actually she was pretty good in the Hunger Games compared to the book version of her character who was very annoying. She held back from the teen love story crap in the book, and for which I am extremely grateful. She made the character a lot more BA.

Which I think is stupid. If the performance is among the best, then it deserves to be recognized as such. Hopefully this is a sign of things to come for them. Personally I thought Naomi Watts had the female performance of the year, but she didn't have a chance for some reason, so I was fine with Lawrence winning, she's great in SLP.

And I don't really get all the negativity towards Silver Linings Playbook, especially here on a sports message board. I saw a bunch of movies last year, and it's definitely in my Top 3.

[Rylan]

On the average, I find that sport based movies are less enjoyable than other types of movies.

[Idoit40fans]

Yeah I don't really care about who wins what award or what movie does well. It doesn't affect the quality of any movie that I have or have not seen. I just haven't seen anything from her that I think is special.

And that's fair enough. I just think it's kind of baseless to make a blanket statement like "person x" is not a good actress, while not seeing the movies which are generally regarded as their best work.
