Lawrence's lead role in Debra Granik'sWinter's Bone, which won best picture at the Sundance Film Festival in 2010, [7] is generally cited as a "breakout performance" for her. She portrays seventeen-year-old 'Ree Dolly' in the rural Ozarks, who cares after a mentally-ill mother and her younger brother and sister, when she discovers that her father [8] has put their house and land up as a bond for a court appearance he didn't make. The performance was highly acclaimed by film critics. David Denby, writing inThe New Yorker, said "the movie [9] would be unimaginable with anyone less charismatic playing Ree." Lawrence received an Oscar nomination for [10] Best Actress from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, for the role, on January 25, 2011. She is the second-youngest person to date to be nominated for the category. Lawrence had a role inThe Beaver, a dark comedy starring Jodie Foster and Mel Gibson that was filmed in 2009, but, after spending an extended period of time stalled due to controversies surrounding Gibson, released on May 6, 2011.

Lawrence is also set to star alongside Elisabeth Shue in Mark Tonderai's thrillerHouse at the [13] [14] End of the Street, which completed filming in 2010 and is in post-production. Lawrence has stated that she has never taken drama classes or acting lessons, simply relying on her instincts when [2] playing a role. She lived in New York City for the first few years of her career, but resides in Santa Monica, [2] California. [15] She has been cast as Katniss Everdeen in the movieThe Hunger Games, set to be released in March 2012, and The Silver Linings Playbook, opposite Bradley Cooper and Robert De Niro.
