'Silver Linings Playbook'
Of Tiffany in “Silver Linings Playbook” Lawrence said: “I loved that she was so real. I loved her strengths as well as her weaknesses.” Accepting the offer to play opposite Oscar-winner Robert DeNiro and nominee Jacki Weaver, she said that “it’s really rare that saying yes to something will change your life” as much as Russell’s film has for her. “Most of my favorite performances from my favorite movies” are from the director’s films, she said.
Looking ahead to her upcoming projects, Lawrence singled out “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire,” the second installment in the franchise that has her reprising her role of Katniss Everdeen. “It's a character I love and a story with a message that I’m passionate about,” she disclosed, although she contends that “I still think of myself as an indie actor.”
As for her two Academy Award nominations, “it’s overwhelming, but it’s an honor," she said. "It’s like getting a promotion at your job. My dreams have come true.” This second time around, when she’s better positioned to win the Best Actress Oscar, Lawrence acknowledged the process was less daunting: “The first time it was terrifying, but I did it one time so I can do it again."

Seriously, one of the most overrated performances of last year. I just don't get it. I didn't buy Jennifer Lawrence's meager accent, and her inability to handle her comedic and dramatic scenes were jarring. Their were times I could see Lawrence struggling with her role. For example, her showdown with Robert DeNiro was anti -climactic, because of the awful way she delivered her lines. Recently, Jennifer did a mediocre job hosting SNL.
