    Jennifer Lawrence to announce Oscar nominations

    LOS ANGELES (AP) — Jennifer Lawrence will help announce this year's Academy Awards nominees.

    The 21-year-old actress will join Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences President Tom Sherak at the nominations announcement on Jan. 24.

    Lawrence earned her first Oscar nomination last year for "Winter's Bone." She stars in the anticipated adaptation of "The Hunger Games," set for release in March.

    Sherak and Lawrence will announce 10 of Oscar's 24 categories at the early-morning press conference.

    The 84th annual Academy Awards will be presented on Feb. 26.

      Awesome Indi film actress. I have seen her in a few movies and she hasn't dissappointed me yet.

      Who is still going to the movies...they are so flawed.

      Enough with the snide "Who?" comments. Even if you're not enough of a film buff to recognize her name or face, it says RIGHT IN THE ARTICLE who she is. (And, if "Winter's Bone" and "The Hunger Games" don't mean anything to you, she was also in the most recent "X-Men" movie.)

      i assume because of her nod last year and the anticipation over 'the hunger games' at the moment is the reason. really like her though. by far one of the better 'it-girl' actresses out there today.

      He was amazing and perfect in that role!

      To all my fellow bloggers, what was your favorite movie of all time, the movie public should vote for the best, not the people in the union, or members. All this is , is slapping them on the back as an reward, which is non-sense.

      Can't they just publish the list?

      I'm excited to see her in The Hunger Games. She did well in Winters Bone (movie wasn't that great but she was good)

      Why do they still try to make a production out of this self indulgent Hollywood crap? They need to have their ceremonies quietly and print the results afterward. Very few people care about any of that crap any more. They get way too much attention for doing virtually nothing. Jennifer Lawrence??? Who?? WHATEVER.

        If you don't like the awards show, don't watch and keep your mouth shut. There are many of us who love the show.
