Remember, Jennifer Lawrence was mediocre in Xmen: First Class. It is not easy to give a good performance in comic book movies, because everything is so heightened , over-the-top, and ridiculous. The New York Times' film critic referred to Lawrence's Hunger Games performance as flat. I couldn't agree more. I never felt her inner struggle, complexity, nor her power. Saoirse Ronan audition for that role. Why wasn't she hired? First, she would have looked the age. Secondly, she would have easily brought so much emotion, intelligence, intensity, and vulnerability to Katniss. Saoirse is one of the few young actresses that can act with no dialogue. She is just unbelievably expressive.

Now, Jennifer brought no real depth, no humor, nor gravity to the Tiffany role in Silver Linings Playbook. What made matters worst, she is too young for the role, and her lack of maturity hurt her acting. Sadly, Lawrence couldn't handle the script's dialogue well ( her accent was not lousy ) . Her vocal showdown with Robert DeNiro was dull. It should have been a humorous, dramatic, and explosive speech all at the same time, but, again, Jennifer was weak.

If Lawrence is this "superstar" that Indie Wire claims she is, then she needs to show her strength in the foreign box office. The only reason why Catching Fire will even make money in the foreign box office will be due to Sam Claflin who is an already an established face and is British to boot. That's why it will make the money that it will. Also, Sam will be the face for foreign promotion and not Jennifer. If anything, she'll be tagging along.

She's only been involved in one blockbuster where she is the true lead, however, people were not coming to see the Hunger Games for her solely. The "story" is what attracted people to the film. The premiere was not on the level of a Twilight because they had to announce for fans to come down because it really wasn't a lot of fans there at the beginning of the US premiere. A story that is not told by the press. But those of us who were there saw what it was truly like. Plus, it didn't even crack $700K at the box office.

She's in a Weinstein production which is like Oscar automatic nomination. She was in a horror film post Hunger Games called House at the End of the Street which should be automatic box office gold of at least a $100 mill, it didn't even reach $40 mill.

Again, a domestic heavy box office and released in over 3,000 theaters and that's all it made. Kristen Stewart's Snow White and the Huntsman opened to over 3,0o0 theaters and made almost $400 mil at the box office and has had outstanding DVD and ONDEMAND sales. Had the 6th best opening of the year, plus her Breaking Dawn 2 has almost made $800 million and she is releasing the highly anticipated indie On the Road which her performance has received critical acclaim.

And speaking of beating others out for a role, Stewart beat her out of a role she really wanted: Lie Down in Darkness.

No I'm saying that Stewart should be your Woman of the Year but she certainly isn't it considering she really hasn't out done Stewart at the box office this year and has no real foreign appeal like Stewart has. Stewart not only has foreign box office appeal but has won the Rising Star BAFTA and can sell the top magazines i.e. Elle, Vanity Fair, GQ UK etc… She is the face of the fragrance of a major fashion house. Walks the red carpet in the top designers and is the top money earner for Actresses in Hollywood. She's more all around.

Ann Hathaway should have been your woman of the year without a doubt. Lawrence didn't beat out Stewart with head-to-head box office this year, magazine sales and income. Plus Stewart has more media appeal.

Let's see how the story plays out with her, Jen Lawrence lovers. No need to launch an attack just yet.
