Jennifer Lawrence was also nominated for and WON Best Actress for Katniss in The Hunger Games! Jennifer wasn't there to accept her award from English actor and comedian Reece Shearsmith. From Empire:

And the winner is JENNIFER LAWRENCE for The Hunger Games rather than Silver Linings Playbook, because Empire voters don't get freaked out by genre movies. She can’t be with us tonight because she’s still hunger gaming somewhere. That, or she tripped on the way to the red carpet and hasn’t gotten up yet. Either way, may the odds be ever in her favour. And she has sent a message, which Shearsmith reads.

"Hi Empire awards, I'm really sorry I can't be there. I'd like to thank the Empire readers for voting for me. I loved playing Catnip - is that right?" asks Shearsmith. "I'll make sure she gets this award - I won't really."

About the Empire Awards:

Imagine your ideal awards ceremony. It wouldn't be four hours long. There would be no awkward/sexist/lame musical numbers. Winners would be allowed to take as long as they want, and thank whomever they want in their speeches, and would be positively encouraged to tell us shaggy dog stories about their experiences on set. And the whole thing would be irreverent, laidback, relaxed and very funny. In other words, The Jameson Empire Awards.

Yes, the show we're calling the antidote to Oscar fever is back — on Sunday March 24, to be precise. As ever, the majority of the categories will be decided by our readers, so we need YOUR votes for the best films and performances in the period running from January 27, 2012, to January 25, 2013.

It's a very open race, with box office behemoths Avengers Assemble, Skyfall, The Dark Knight Rises and The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey all in contention. Then there are the smaller yet no less deserving entries like The Raid, Beasts Of The Southern Wild, Sightseers, Argo, Looper and Django Unchained – as well as many, many more.
