Told ya

Lawrence has done some shitty roles in addition to her awesomeness. that is all I am saying.

You mean like most actors who have had success?

Of course. That's how most careers start. Entertainment business or not. You don't get the greatest gigs when you start off.

Her performances in Silver Linings Playbook and American Hustle were very overrated IMO. She's very hot and a good actress but none of her performances that I've seen her in have been Oscar worthy IMO.

:facepalm:

you have to admit, it is a bit of a head scratcher why she did House at the End of the Street and The Devil you Know after Hunger Games and Silver Linings Playbook.

Facepalm if you want, but I totally agree. Silver Linings Playbook was a mess and her performance was weak and unconvincing. Her part in American Hustle was flat and forgettable, outdone and overshadowed by Amy Adams.

Contracts. Any actors first contract usually has a multi-picture obligation and if they hit big with something else with a ton of work left on the obligation meter, it is better to knock the shit out in a hurry. Those crap movies shoot in about 3 weeks and have very little required in terms of promotional needs to take up their now very valuable time. It is just a way for the people that gave the kid the break to reap some benefit of the stardom. Is it fair, maybe, maybe not.

I wouldn't go as far as call her performances weak but people fawn over Jennifer Lawrence like she's a young Meryl Streep. She's not.

Its crazy that some people are actually mad she didn't win the supporting actress Oscar over Lupita Nyongo.

HATES was filmed a couple of years before and finally released after she became a hit. The Devil You Know was filmed in 2005 and only released in 2013.

Anybody that actually watched American Hustle and thought Lawrence deserved shit for her role is delusional.

I get that she's the "it" girl and I like her well enough, but there was nothing about her performance that suggested it was Oscar worthy.

Confession: I've never seen Jennifer Lawrence in anything, except X-Men. She seems wholly unremarkable.

Wow, really? You're missing some good movies, even if you're not seeing them for JLaw. Winter's Bone, American Hustle, Hunger Games 1 & 2, and Silver Linings Playbook are all good to excellent.
