Jennifer Lawrence is on about a million "Best" lists this awards season for her turn as Rosalyn Rosenfeld in American Hustle and also her general awesomeness (not to mention this little movie she stars in, Catching Fire. Maybe you've heard of it?). She's landed on yet another list - Forbes' 30 Under 30, their annual tally of the brightest stars in 15 different fields under the age of 30. Here's what Forbes had to say about Jen.
In 2013 the Academy crowned her Best Actress and the Internet crowned her "our best friend." Her candor made her a sensation, and her girl-next-door relatability didn't dampen her earning power. She's officially one of the highest-paid women in Hollywood, reportedly earning $10 million for "Catching Fire." Fans who can't wait for the final two installments of "The Hunger Games" can see Lawrence in "American Hustle" and next year's "X-Men" flick.
Jennifer Lawrence was named Best Supporting Actress by the National Society of Film Critics for her role as Rosalyn Rosenfeld in American Hustle. The Society, made up of many of the country’s most distinguished movie critics, held its 48th annual awards voting meeting on Saturday, January 4th, using a weighted ballot system, at the Elinor Bunin Munroe Center as guests of the Film Society of Lincoln Center. Scrolls will be sent to the winners.
The Golden Globe Award nominations were announced this morning and both Jennifer Lawrence (for American Hustle) and Coldplay's "Atlas" off the Catching Fire soundtrack have been nominated. Congratulations!

LOGOTV held their NewNowNext Awards on Monday, April 15th, and Jennifer Lawrence earned the Beyond Style honor for her appearance in Dior at the 85th Annual Academy Awards. Unfortunately, Jennifer didn't attend the NNNAs.

Did an angel fall out of Heaven and straight into the Oscars? No, but close enough, it's actually Jennifer Lawrence in a stunning Dior gown. How much dreamier can she be?
Jen snagged the golden popcorn for Best Female Performance and Best Kiss with Bradley Cooper, both for her work as Tiffany Maxwell in Silver Linings Playbook.
Bradley picked up the Best Kiss Awards for Jen saying, "Sorry Jennifer isn't here....she WAS great to kiss!"
While it's slightly (!) less prestigious than an Oscar, congrats Jen!
Jennifer Lawrence's family spoke with WDRB in Louisville, KY about her whirlwind Oscar season, her start in the business, and how she's "just Jen" to them. And tonight, (Thursday night)on WDRB News at 10:00, her parents open up about what has been so difficult about her fame, and talk more about the perks of it all too, what her co-stars are like and which one of them has promised to come to the summer camp the family owns, Camp Hi-Ho. We'll be sure to post when it's available.
Her mom admits hindsight might have changed the fateful trip that started it all, when she gave in to Lawrence's pleas at age 14 to take her to New York to explore acting.
"I really thought let's just get this over with and go to spring break and you'll hear 'don't let the door hit you on the way out so many times'. I would have never taken her if I thought something actually would have happened so the joke was on me," says Karen Lawrence.
The doors weren't closing, only opening. Now Lawrence is everywhere.
"It's weird to see her posters and magazines at Target and Kroger," says Blaine Lawrence.
But she's still just Jen to them
She's not a megastar, she's just Jennifer.
"Her nickname was ‘Nitro' growing up. She was just pretty wild – explosive, "says Blaine Lawrence.
They say watching TV is one of her favorite things to do when she gets to come home to her parents' house in east Louisville.
Oddly enough, with no professional acting training, her parents say it might have helped her hone her craft.
"When she was a little girl she was glued to the TV and I thought she was just enjoying herself, but I think she was doing research and studying and thinking I can do that," says Gary Lawrence.
"But she didn't watch TV like a normal person. She was glued to the TV. She would get on her knees and study it," says Karen Lawrence.
It seems to have paid off. She's snagged tons of awards for her role in Silver Linings Playbook, including the Oscar. There's also speculation she snagged a boyfriend as well in co-star Bradley Cooper.
"She is not dating Bradley Cooper, nor was she ever. They're just really good friends. No truth to it," her family says.
There are also rumors Prince Harry is interested, but Lawrence's mom jokes that would never work out.
"I don't think she could get along with her mother in law. That would bring the kingdom down," says Karen Lawrence.
Her role in Silver Linings Playbook was certainly no joking matter.
Her mom was right by her side for all the ups, and was on the front row when Jennifer Lawrence fell on the stairs.
"I was just glad she didn't knock her front teeth out. I saw her head go down and I just thought ‘oh boy, if she gets blood all over that gown'. She just fell and recovered and didn't really talk about it," says Karen Lawrence.
She handled it with grace, something that comes naturally for her. But the glitz and glamour do not.
"Her favorite thing to do is work, and come home and eat a bowl of popcorn and put her pj's on and do nothing else. So it's not so glamorous to do all these other things. It's work and it's exhausting for her," says Gary Lawrence.
Lawrence's days are packed filled with things like interviews, promotional shoots, even a trip to New York to host Saturday Night Live. On days with awards ceremonies, things really get crazy and start with her stylist.
"It started with wardrobe. Rachel Zoe and her whole team coming in. Chopard coming in with their jewelry. And three to four people, hair and make-up people and jewelry people, manicurist, etc." her family says.
"I call it the pit crew . They just take over the house so I just stay out of the way," says Gary Lawrence.
A photo her mom snapped at the Golden Globes shows underneath it all, she's staying true to herself. Taken under the table right after her Best Actress win, you can see her hand dripping in borrowed diamonds, digging into a bag of chips.
"It's hard because we don't feel any different and Jen doesn't either. Just because she's won an award, doesn't change who she is but people's perception of you is different and they expect you to be different. That's been the hardest part. She is a 22-year-old human being and she will make the same mistakes we all make and grow. She's just going to make those mistakes under a microscope," her family says.
Thursday night on WDRB News at 10:00, her parents open up about what has been so difficult about her fame, and we'll talk more about the perks of it all too, what her co-stars are like and which one of them has promised to come to the summer camp the family owns, Camp Hi-Ho.
Jennifer Lawrence took home an Independent Spirit Award for Best Female Lead today for her role as Tiffany in Silver Linings Playbook. "Independent films are my passion," she said, so receiving this award must have been especially gratifying.
Jennifer took her brothers as her dates to the awards. She stunned on the red carpet in a gorgeous cut-out Lanvin dress.
Silver Linings Playbook dominated at the Independent Spirit Awards, taking home Best Screenplay, Best Director for David O. Russel, and Best Feature, in addition to Jen's win.
Bradley Cooper presented Jennifer Lawrence with her Best Actress award for Silver Linings Playbook at the LAFCA Awards dinner last night. Bradley said of Jennifer, "She's like 40 and 10 at the same time...I don't think she's real."
Jennifer fumbled through her acceptance speech in the most charming way sharing that she's currently sick "so everyone I shook hands with, you're screwed."
Poor Jen actually fell out of her shoe, coughed and said, "I'm like all three of the stooges right now. I'm on Sudafed and I'm sorry." The audience audibly swooned. While accepting her award she said, "As my publicist would say, being inappropriate comes easy to me. Or just being awful." She gave a lovely speech about Silver Linings Playbook and, after making a joke about her dancing in the movie said "My publicist wrote something about Dancing With The Stars and I don't understand it, so I'm not going to read it."
